Great big effing boil on my neck! Help!

I've NEVER had a boil, ever, and now, 4 days after I go from long hair to a short bob, I've got something that looks like another nipple. It HURTS! I've put metanium on it and it's coming up to a point but there's no head on it. I don't feel too well either but that might be unrelated.

What should I do?! Help!

As much as I am loving the pusporn piccies, it definitely isn't looking better Sad.

Tinkerisdead · 17/08/2011 12:52

Oh Holly lovely, I think you are befuddled looking so postively at it. It must be eating into your brain I think. That is not looking better!!!! It looks as angry as it did at pic number 5! I think you are about to enter the realms of scoop and pack. Go back to the docs! Winking, labouring, convulsing and still red and pustulous. Me thinks someone has to intervene here and release the beast from that crater.

The whole thread is brilliant, on looking at the photo's "3" looks like it left a lovely hole

I keep going back to YouTube to have a quick look at pustules - doing wonders for my diet! Grin

Geordie - see my link further up the thread Grin

Geordieminx · 17/08/2011 11:52

Has anyone seen "How to get ahead in advertising"Grin

maxybrown · 17/08/2011 11:41

I agree Holly, tis not getting better, soon we will not know where your head ends and the alien begins - it must be sore?

AncientsOfMuMu · 17/08/2011 11:39

Have just read this whole thread.
Have never laughed so much, but felt so sick, all at the same time.

Now look.

I don't wish to meddle.

But dear, it is NOT RIGHT that a healthy young woman in a santised country should get this. Something has gone wrong somewhere. I have only ever seen this kind of thing in the Developing World.

Can you not march into the walk-in clinic (hell love, I would go to A&E if I were you) and DEMAND some answers? SURELY you need blood tests to check your immune system or somesuch?

I LOVE a bit of pus porn but I am beyond gleeful horror and out the other side into just plain worried about you

Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit · 17/08/2011 11:28

You really need that seen to today. It isn't going away is it?

GlaikitFizzog · 17/08/2011 11:12

OMG Holly! That is impressive!

If you need someone to give whatever emerges a home give me a bell!! :o

Portofino · 17/08/2011 11:10

Good grief! I would certainly be at A&E with that!

faverolles · 17/08/2011 11:05

Has a pus thread ever made it to classics?

Jesus. I would go to the walk-in too if that thing was taking over my body. Looks red and painful and I would worry the anti-bs aren't doing quite enough.

Geordieminx · 17/08/2011 10:31

Jesus.

I would really go to the doctors/walk in if I were you Sad

Hellishday · 17/08/2011 10:23

My ds had a Disturbed night last night after watching the video

maxybrown · 17/08/2011 10:18

yikes!

maxybrown · 17/08/2011 10:17

here

Geordieminx · 17/08/2011 10:13

Can someone link the pic properly please as I can't view on iPhone TA

encyclogirl · 17/08/2011 10:11

OMG, that looks pretty awesome and equally painful.

It seems to be draining out all by it self though?

Hellishday · 17/08/2011 10:10

My theory is that Bagofholly is no more...this is the boil posting.
It has taken her over.

diddl · 17/08/2011 10:05

Looks really painful.

Catsmamma · 17/08/2011 10:01

it's like your very own personal volcano!

MigratingCoconuts · 17/08/2011 09:59

I'm seriously impressed!

Poor you, it must be very painful Sad

OhYouBadBadKitten · 17/08/2011 09:57

It does quite look like an eye.....
