Dp had an ingrown hair 3 weeks ago that has suddenly decided to go bananas. I’ve forced him to call his GP and waiting a call back, but wondering if any MNers could shed some light in the meantime!

Have you shone a torch into the hole yet OP? and taking a pic at the same time

SecretWitch · 19/06/2020 15:52

@WeAllHaveWings

After infection was gone, still stained by iodine.
That looks so sore!
theemmadilemma · 19/06/2020 15:52

Flucloxacillian is what I was given for an infected milk duct and also an infected hole on my foot. It should sort it out fairly quickly.

Interested in this thread?

Fuck. I’ve just put botfly into you YouTube.
Did you watch the inch long one they pulled from the teenagers eye?
DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 19/06/2020 15:56

The joy of fluclox, even better worse when combined with erythromycin. My arse was like a raspberry Polo for weeks.

Hippopotas · 19/06/2020 16:01

I want to squeeze it Blush

TDogsInHats · 19/06/2020 16:08

What does give your head a wobble mean? Will it help the infection heal more quickly?

SistemaAddict · 19/06/2020 16:17

Ooooh! I'd be poking at that after soaking it. Well, a gentle squeeze at least.

I wish I was married to your husband right now op. I'm a pimple popper weirdo Grin

Seriouslyconfused3 · 19/06/2020 16:21

Keep us updated op!

LolaDarkdestroyer · 19/06/2020 16:23

It's a spider laid eggs in there saw it on something a while ago get to a and e

Onemorefuck · 19/06/2020 16:26

Hot saline compress can help draw infection, keep clean and help with the healing process

Brieminewine · 19/06/2020 16:27

Looks like there’s been an abscess and it’s left a fistula, needs a strong dose of fluclox that’s for sure!

My boyfriend has some really deep whiteheads in the nap of his neck, I genuinely cannot wait for 8pm to come round so I can squeeze them after his bath Grin
MangosteenSoda · 19/06/2020 16:33

A 1cm hole! Definitely post more pictures. So we can scientifically monitor the progress (and dream of squeezing all of the lovely pus out Blush)

rwalker · 19/06/2020 16:34

did they tell you to draw ring round it so you can tell if it's spreading .

Laiste · 19/06/2020 16:36

''The hole itself is about 1cm.''

Fuck! I was imagining smaller than that ...

a centimeter's quite a big hole.

Disfordarkchocolate · 19/06/2020 16:39

It looks like a bite to me. I had a spider bite that left a lovely hole in my arm for a while. Spectacular goo came out in a hot bath.

Mrsmadevans · 19/06/2020 16:41

Looks like a Botfly to me, don't get them here though usually.

screwthedoldrums · 19/06/2020 16:43

Perfect Friday night entertainment @simon!

He doesn’t know yet, it will be a nice suprise when I sit on him so he can’t escape 😂 I’m sure he’ll be thankful one day!
EffYouSeeKaye · 19/06/2020 16:46

Jesus H Christ.

I would also have stuck a dressing on it, OP. TO STOP WHATEVER THE LIVING SHIT IS IN THERE FROM GETTING OUT AND MURDERING US ALL IN OUR BEDS.

IdblowJonSnow · 19/06/2020 16:48

Post pics of any goo plz OP! Another pus weirdo here!
Hope he's ok. Keep a close eye and any sudden temperature or further swelling go straight to A and E.

HighOnStilts · 19/06/2020 16:50

I'd be worry the girl from the grudge will climb out of that thing 😆

yakkad · 19/06/2020 16:54

It look like a dilated pore of Winer, i.e a huge blackhead. Also looks a bit infected.
