A litttle bit of history, i have a condition called hidradenitis suppurative so abscesses are very common for me. I have had several ops to remove them for various places of my body.
Anyway yesterday i felt the common pain and knew what was coming, this morning it was fairly small but very painful, this evenig however it has swelled up to about 6 times the size it was this morning, it is right at the back, but right on my labia . it is about 8cm in length and probably the same deep. I managed to gt a little out of it but nothing great. I do feel like i am growing a testicle (but can assure you it isn't!)
So what do i do? do i just grin and bear it or do i go to A&E to have it lanced? It is worth it? Please help!
Just for the record i have had this done before and it helped greatly, and anti-biotics are a complete waste of time because of my condition.
