Wtf is this under my boob?

[UseHerName]

They’re about a 34gg so I’m quite sweaty but I’m otherwise slim. I walked about 7 miles today (usual for me)and it was warmer than normal. I wear an under wired sports bra more or less all the time since lockdown.

Can’t think of anything else relevant. Hope the photos ok so you can see it properly

aww twat. Bold fail.

I used to get these. PP is correct that antibiotics will stop them but my GP wouldn't give them straight away - I had these on and off for a year or so before I got antibiotics

I used to apply a poultice (google for 'recipe') which would draw the fluid out therefore stopped the pain but didn't stop them reoccurring

Could be cellulitis.

@Whatwaswrongwiththatusername It’s very smooth and good for chubrub (thighs) too. lt is sold for babies as proper talc is not recommended . It’s less messy than proper talc and feels smooth on the skin. In Summer it sells out very quickly in Asda but I guess other places sell it . I saw it recommended by another poster last Summer.

I had something really similar recently. Also big boobed. It was an ingrown hair. The stuff that came out 🤢

Is anyone else feeling very envious?

@sandgrown I was wondering about chubrub too, I think I'll definitely try and get some with my shopping. Talc really is rather messy! Thanks!

Oh I think it has a little bit of a head on it but I’m not at all up for breaking the seal...!

Please be kind enough to take photos or a video if you decide to pop it.

Ring 111 u need anti biotic

Firstly you need to master the video thing on your phone, you know, prop it up.

Then, you need to (ensuring good light) pick off that black bit. Don’t eat it. Then apply firm, increasing pressure with two fingers on either side of it, and keep going until we say stop.

This will cure it, pretty much instantly.

Cor that’s a beauty. Get this moved to sporner corner 😆

Haha!

‘Don’t eat it’ 🤣

I don’t know what it is. But I have huge boobs and struggle with sore u see boobs and have bought the liquid talc. Thanks for the recommendation. Just hope it works.

I get these all the time too and have big boobs. The only thing that I've found that has got it under control from reoccurring (I was literally getting them as soon as one of them has gone) was washing my boobs with hibiscrub. My GP gave it to me on prescription the first time but said it's cheaper to buy it over the counter at Boots. I also had antibiotics, and have used magnesium sulphate as well.

Cuticular talc is brilliant to prevent sweat rub etc it’s medicated and has something in it that makes your skin really soft

I’ve had 3 infected cysts, same place. First one I left for a week to see if it would just go away it was unbelievably sore ended up with gp referring it to hospital who did scans etc and drained it.

Second time I left it over the weekend, strong ab’s and it took about 10 days to go.

3rd one took antib’s straight away and it was gone quickly and no where near as painful.

On a waiting list to have the sac removed!

Tweezers and antiseptic cream. And photos.

I ended up at docs when the redness spread outward, they discovered that I had a high temperature so antibiotics were given. All during first lockdown . Do keep an eye on it

I’m DYING to get at that with a pin 🤤. If you do decide to tackle it, PLEASE set your front facing camera up on the windowsill or something and record it close up. I’m not even joking

You have to let the pressure out.

It popped in the shower this morning and there was a hole after that 🙈

TCP. It will sting and stink, but i love that stuff!

God you lot are sick puppies fwooaaar at popping in the shower.
