Ugh this is well grim, please bear with me.

I've had a pilar cyst on the back of my head for a few years now, and it minded its own business until last week when I caught it with my hairbrush. What started off as maybe a 1in lump swelled up to maybe 2.5in and hurt like fuck. Went to the doctors on Wednesday and got anti-b's and got told they could remove it but the Doctor that does that only works on Wednesdays and I'd missed her for that week.

I woke up in the night in fucking awful pain. It almost throbs and is so taut, if that makes sense. I can't lie on it or in any way that it almost touches the pillow. It's hot and the glands in the back of my head and neck are up and hurt :(

Just before I started writing this, something popped and now the back of my head it soaked with what I guess is pus The lump is still there though.

So my questions given that I won't get a doctors appointment today:

  1. Do I just keep it clean, keep taking the tablets and get an appointment asap? Could be days though, knowing my surgery.

  2. It fucking hurts and is spewing something out now - would a walk-in centre be able to do anything given that I'm already on antibiotics?

    Thanks in advance, your gross friend,

    Rose

    ps. I know the rules. It's really hard to get a pic of the back of your own head, and it's covered by my hair. If anything further develops I'll ask DH to take a pic tonight.

have you REALLY tried?? Hmm ??

I think this is the very thing that walk-ins and minor injuries are there for. Hope you get it sorted.

I agree, it's a walk-in job. If nothing else they'll clean and dress it. also waits for photos

The inventor of the selfie stick was a sporner!

Sounds like a walk-in job to me

Please go to the walk in centre with that, it needs to be properly disinfected.

Great photo btw

Oooooooh. I had one of those on my crown. It got infected and was like a large grape. When i went to see the gp, he actually rubbed his hands with glee when i agreed to get it drained. A syringe full of green pus came out.

Anyway, enough of my happy trip down memory lane. You're clearly rocking quite the infection, go and get it checked.

I just wrote a long reply and lost it. But in summary, here are two more pics, including a side elevation to demonstrate its golfballness.

Are you sure a nest of spiders isn't about to fall out of your head?!
Definitely a walk in centre, or A&E, I don't think they would object to seeing you if no walk in or minor injuries.

I had to hang on for my mom to take my DD. I know she'll be the new generation of sporners but a rampaging 3yr old in a room of ill people would be no fun. I'm on my way there now Smile

That's almost cartoon bump like Rose, not surprised it's sore.
