put some cream on it, any cream, all creams you can find mixed together.

geraldinetheluckygoat · 16/09/2010 21:36

cant the doctor do something for boils, lancing or sometihing

Im fat, 35 unexpectedly pregnant and had a boil in my foof two weeks ago, do i win?

MrsSchadenfreude · 16/09/2010 21:39

I had a boil each side of my foof last week. I thought I was growing testicles. I also had a nice crop under my arm and one on my stomach. I think it's stress.

fedupofnamechanging · 16/09/2010 21:40

Very sorry you are suffering Electric. I think tea tree oil is very good for skin problems, also sudocrem. I would try to pop it and hope it would go away.

HecateQueenOfWitches · 16/09/2010 21:41

oh god, kelly,I've had those. I walked like john wayne!

But in fact, I win.

Or rather the infected boil on a hemorrhoid sticking out of my arse that burst only after TWO HOURS sitting on it in the car on the way to london wins.

GentleOtter · 16/09/2010 21:43

Eye of newt and wing of bat shifts boils.

ElectricSoftParade · 16/09/2010 21:43

No Kelly because you can hide it! Although did have pregnancy boil situation in the foof area and is not pleasant. Am I just boily? blergh

Have not been able to find tea tree oil so am dousing nose with lavender oil and am hoping for the best please dry out and not develop

Thanks folks, for the boil acknowlegement! ESP

Hecate, I think you do indeed win!

JorrisBohnson · 16/09/2010 21:46

A boil on a pile on the way to London?

Oh Fuck!

HecateQueenOfWitches · 16/09/2010 21:47

Damn right I win!

Now gimmee my prize...

ElectricSoftParade · 16/09/2010 21:47

Can I play - I have never had a boil but I have had one wart in my life - on the end of my fucking nose. I have no idea how it happened but once I took a few weeks to accept that it was not a spot and would not go away, I then went to my GP and had to wait weeks for a hospital referal because he was not happy about burning it off my face. I finally got to hospital and had to have an injection into the end of my nose before having it burned off.

Casmama · 16/09/2010 21:54

PS I was 18 at the time and had recently started university.

kelly2525 · 16/09/2010 22:04

Casmama, your story in no way compares to a boil on the fanny

Hectate im sure if we all wait long enough, someone will come along with an even better grosser story than fanny/arse boils

ElectricSoftParade · 16/09/2010 22:07

Oh Casmama I feel for you! That sounds horrible and I now hope I don't have a wart brewing as well. Did your nose recover, I mean, it went away completely?

Douses self with more lavender oil and hopes for the best

JorrisBohnson · 16/09/2010 22:11

Fat, 41, boil brewing and now reeks of lavender!

I'd get to bed before life gets any worse for you Electric. Grin

ElectricSoftParade · 16/09/2010 22:13

Am hoping for more boil stories. If only to make me feel better while walking around with a disfigured boily nose. Best wishes to all boil sufferers ESP Smile

ElectricSoftParade · 16/09/2010 22:16

Can't do it as dh is retching at the reek emenating from the snout. The look of it is making him green but he cannot bare the lavender. Will keep this thought in mind when he pisses me off... Smile

Casmama · 16/09/2010 22:17

I concede to the boil on the fanny!
I have a very slight indentation on my nose but it is only noticable if you are looking for it so recovered very well thanks.
I hope the same can be said for others esp. Kelly and Hecate.

kelly2525 · 16/09/2010 22:21

Electric Try a hot compress to draw all the crap out, a hot shower worked for mine, once i`d decided i was brave enough to have a look after two days of slapping on the canestan didnt seem to be working

Cloudbase · 16/09/2010 22:21

I grew a lovely crop of pus filled boils under my armpit and all across my right breast - twas most lovely.

(But seriously, MrsSchaudenfreude, if you actually have been getting rashes of boils in your armpits and round your genitals, it could well be a variation of staph aureus infection - it commonly crops up in these areas and frequently keeps appearing until you zap it with antibiotics.
Do go and see your GP, as if it is that, it won't clear up on it's own)

(witchy but helpful cackle)

ElectricSoftParade · 16/09/2010 22:28

Will try the hot compress and hope, hope, hope it works. If not will bother to Doc as it is LARGE (boil not nose but nose now almost twice its normal size)
