Op I have an identical second head boil growing in exactly the same place, so you have my sympathies! Although I am a bit of a sporner, so I'm hoping mine erupts in spectacular fashion! Ha

MaggieJoyBlunt · 04/07/2015 18:19

DH says "Eurgh, NO WAY". So if I'm doing it, I'm doing it myself Confused

MaggieJoyBlunt · 04/07/2015 18:28

Well it bled, and is a bit less taut but the bulk of it is still there Sad

Ooof. That's quite a goodun. Nice hot flannel will be soothing. Bit of tea tree oil.

MaggieJoyBlunt · 04/07/2015 18:31

My dad had one like that , slightly bigger. He came round for mw to squeeze as mum's squeamish and he knows I have a fetish about these type of things Grin
I pricked with a needle and gave a big squeeze (only had a little head ) and my god the crap that came out !! It was like cottage cheese running down his neck Confused Had to get Dad to finish it off though as even I was heaving a little. Really wish I'd filmed for you guys Smile

crispandfruity · 04/07/2015 18:36

If your dh won't squeeze that for us all you need to ltb.

coughingbeanintheoven · 04/07/2015 18:39

So I need it to form a head before I try again? What if it doesn't?

OP posts:
HermioneWeasley · 04/07/2015 19:10

None of mine have ever formed a head, you just have to grit your teeth and get on with it. Leave it a few hours, have a hot shower or spend 10 mins or so flannelling it (seriously hot -dipped in boiling salty water if you can bear it) and then needle it again.

What is it about squeezing and boils that is soooo satisfying!?!?

My Dad gets these, they never have a head but need piercing and squeezing. lots of 'orrible white gunk comes out.

AlpacaPicnic · 04/07/2015 20:01

Keep at it, keep prodding!

flanjabelle · 04/07/2015 20:06

Well even without the klaxon I'm still here! Ooh that looks lovely ever so sore op.

Ellenora5 · 04/07/2015 20:10

Amazing, I'm sure I've bored you all with my underarm abcesses before, ah fond memories, I've had nothing as good since then.......keep going op, you can do it ????

DrLego · 04/07/2015 20:12

it might be a cyst of some description that needs chopping out by GP cyst eradicator clinic? don't get an infected ear ok or cause excess splattage around there it's near your BRAIN and you might go green or something
