Week! DH has the Biggest Boil in the Universe!

[BaconAndAvocado]

It's very red with a dry head. Best way to get rid if it?

He couldn't get a doc's appointment today.

(Sorry for yuckiness !)

Picture first. You know the drill.

Where is it ?

mag sulph paste under a dressing - it'll draw the head out.
And a picture for MN will help it no end

Really need to see it.Urgently.

Really sorry but I'm a major techno phobe and wouldn't know how to put a photo on, honestly!

Will try the mag sulph, thanks.

DH has now given boil a name......

klaxon

What's klaxon?

Priorities! hot flannels, mag sulphate.

Only try the milk bottle trick if you work out how to kink videos

Milk bottle trick?

Pick off the dry head, then press on both sides.

Enjoy

That is sooo tempting but we don' t have any plastic sheeting.....

Seriously we are currently in talks with Channel 4 for the documentary

The klaxon is what you sound to bring all the sporners running with good advice

DH now having TCP filled bath, going to GP tomorrow. Hope he, and boil, get good night's sleep.

I may well sleep on sofa tonight.....

What has he named the boil ?

Have a squeeze and report back!

He's named the boil Edward, which is a bit lost on me!

He's gone to docs this morning so will report back later on Edward's progress/demise.

On the last viewing Edward's head was a dark grey colour.....

Oh it really needs squeezing.

I know but I can't even bear to look at it now, let alone touch it!

The doctor has prescribed anti biotics and if it doesn't improve in 2 days it will need to be drained in hospital........bleeeurgh! It sounds medieval!

DH has now drawn a circle in biro around Edward to chart any possible growth.

Edward has become part of the family

If you're in the Uk, i could possibly be with Edward in a few hours, save dh a trip to hospital.
i am not joking

Really, how are we supposed to advise without visual evidence?

The milk bottle trick is when you heat a glass milk bottle in boiling water, slap the opening over the boil and wait for the bottle to cool. As it cools, a vacuum forms in the bottle. Which will usually cause the boil to erupt spectacularly. And conveniently, neatly in the bottle.
'Tis fab :o

Would that work with a wine bottle....?

I don't know. I think it depends on the size of the boil. I think a clear bottle is best, and the opening has to cover all or most of the boil.

Ummmm, can I and my friend Beryl the Boil join in? I've got her on the inner thigh about an inch wide - she is fat and her skin is sort of grey: she gets greyer in the middle.

Do I need to do anything? Will she depart naturally, or at least slip off before someone asks me to take pix up me kilt and put them on the interweb.

Corygal Beryl needs to have her pic taken for posterity (and posted on here )

Oh NO--- Beryl BURST. That 20 min silence was me doing battle with loo roll with legs round my neck. She must have been camera shy.

Right, what came out. A lot of some wet stuff, then a lot of blood with little white flecks in it.

Do I just leave her to it? You could fit a fag in the hole. (I won't give her one, even tho she is post-explosive & prob craving one).
