It's been there for about a week, like a HUGE (marrofat pea size) spot, but has no head, its hard and only hurts when i try to rip it off (which hasn't worked btw, but has left a scabby, red, horrible mess).

It's so big/deep i can feel through my chin in my mouth, with my tongue.

How do i get rid of it with out the help of a doctor/antibiotics?

Help!

Leave it alone - that is how to get rid of it.

SmallShips - can I just say, everytime I see your name, I think of an elf! that was a flippin good thread.

Sounds more like a boil than a spot - you might well need antibiotics if it's as big a mess as you say.

Ripping spots off is a pretty silly thing to do though ...

I think you're right about the boil, its definately not just a rather large spot.

So how do i get rid of this boil then?
