Well it's more a huge boil on the side of my neck! It's got a red circle round it and I've tried to squeeze it but only a tiny bit pus came out this morning but made it more sore Hmm

DH said he's going to draw a nike tick on it and tee off with it!

It looks awfulConfused

Its cystic acne and i feel and have felt your pain quite literally.
Use a hot compress on it and apply some tea tree cream.

runningonwillpower · 28/01/2014 21:26

Will it need its own ticket if you go to the cinema?

If so, have a cry.

K999 · 28/01/2014 21:26

Yanbu but at least it's on your neck. Does it look like this Biscuit

Could be worse. Could be on the end of your nose....Grin

Snowwhite22 · 28/01/2014 21:27

I feel your pain, I get the big ones when I squeeze and nothing comes out. Yanbu but at least it's not on your face!

JuniorMint · 28/01/2014 21:28

Tea tree oil or witch hazel!

Agree that heat helps enormously - get a flannel as hot as you can stand and hold that on it.

And tomorrow get some Magnesium Sulphate paste from the chemist - it sort of sucks the puss out. Brilliant stuff.

Weelady77 · 28/01/2014 21:28

I've whacked some sudo cream on it just now it feels hot,

It would need a ticket and a seat of its own Hmm

Oh YNBU OP. I've had a right eyesore of one on my face at the moment. Actually contemplated buying Clearasil this morning for the first time since my teenage years.

Weelady77 · 28/01/2014 21:32

Concealer isn't even covering it, I'm going to look like I've got love bites tomorrow at work with a scarf wrapped round my neck!!

I know everyone advises against but a hot flannel for half an hour or a hot bath then a sharp firm jab with a needle sterilised first with boiling water will do the trick.

Your DH will do it for you and could take photos before and after and then post them . You know he wants to. Grin

Weelady77 · 28/01/2014 21:36

More he would boke, he can't even watch casualty without boking!

I've never heard of sticking a sterile needle in it!

Grin Do you have any idea of what you've started OP? They'll all want a pic now with timelapses Wink.

MoreBeta · 28/01/2014 21:50

Weelady - your DH is no use at all in this circumstance.

You need someone with firm resolve and good aim to wield the needle. Can't you phone a friend to come round and do it? Grin

Misspixie- Time lapse? We want slow motion - this is going to explode when it goes!

CaffeinatedKitten · 28/01/2014 21:53

Wot, no klaxon?!:o

rollonthesummer · 28/01/2014 21:59

I have one too, OP :( Sticking a pin in or squeezing won't work if they're anything like mine-boooooo!

TheGreatHunt · 28/01/2014 22:01

Don't stick a pin in!!! Leave it to brew.

Weelady77 · 29/01/2014 08:22

I've woke up this morning it's not got any bigger and still not pus filled, but I woke up a few times during the night as I could feel myself lying on it!
Going to go to chemist and get some magnesium sulphate to whack on it, hopefully that will get rid of my 2nd head Wink

Good luck weelady I tried killing mine with Savlon last night (couldn't get hold of germolene which was advised by a friend). Its still there :( .

rollonthesummer · 29/01/2014 10:40

I put a load of Panoxyl on mine last night and it has actually gone down substantially. It's a bit flaky but no longer cyst like!

Weelady77 · 29/01/2014 14:23

Right home from work about to slap this stuff on with a big plaster but I don't know if it's a boil or a massive spot will it matter??

OP posts:
Misspixietrix · 29/01/2014 14:28

Post a pic. If only for MoreBeta slow motion remember? Grin.

Weelady77 · 29/01/2014 15:31

How do I do it on iphone??

You ask a passing child to help you. Grin

Weelady77 · 29/01/2014 15:56

Haha Grin

They will however look at you disdainfuly, tut loudly, grab the iphone, flash their sticky fingers across the screen and thrust it at you before you see what they did.

They will then go and tell their friends they helped an old lady/man today. Hmm
