<klaxon> grape sized lump... hurts to sit down...

[KatoPotato]

Wahhhh...

I've had this lump on my labia for many years now, hard but painless.

Since a few days ago - I blame spin class - it's got really big, red and painful. It's the size of a large grape and is mostly hard. I've had mag sulph paste on it, germolene, hot baths, tentative squeezes... nothing - It's hard to dress too, thanks to the location.

I've had similar before, hence my mag sulph knowledge, but this just doesnt seem to be coming to a head, paracetamol and ibuprofen are not touching the pain.

Any ideas???

NHS definitely missing a fundraising trick - you're right Ebear

Yikes! Thanks for that, I do like to know the stats! Will take an after pic tomorrow. Chippy tea on its way!

6x8cm??!! that's impressive!! Bloody Nora!!

He kept growing all day and turned black before surgery

I saw the beginnings of the blackness. Thank god you went when you did!

Enjoys the chips, you deserve them. That was some cyst. It's the going black so quickly that's the scary part. Will keenly await the after pic!

Oh Kato - Blimey!! He was an angry bugger!

Do you have stitches?

6x8 cms - in your fanjo?!

That must have been bloody agony.

kato - you deserve some special MN award for having gone through this.

Well done Kato! You survived the bollickle chronicle. You deserve a medal for services to sporn.

Well done Kato!!

What does going black mean??

Holy crap gym was really a big bullock!

Glad you're home now and resting.

For the medics among the thread, what is the significance of the cyst going black? I thought it was bruising

Why was it turning black? Is that just infection?

6x8?!

Dr google tells me black=blood filled.

I thought the black would mean poppage was getting imminent....

You are fucking brave and an awesomely good sport.

Blood changes colour as it decomposes. Darkens then goes through the brown-green-yellow spectrum.

I have just read 24 pages of this... Wow. Hats off to you Kato. Hope you recover quickly. Bloody love a sporn thread.

DS1 had two cups of blood syringed from his knee last week. I thought it would be fluid and possibly a bit pink. But no-the darkest blood I have ever seen, and the DR said it had started to congeal.

Goodnight my chums, delighted to be back in bed with zero pain!!!

It's been epic, to quote pp's the follicle bollicle oracle has gonicle!

Wow! What a day! Glad all is better now sans bollicle :). Sleep well.

Best sporn thread ever!

No on else can come on here unless they come close to 6 by 8 now!

whatdya reckon?
