Noticed it last night in the shower. Not painful or sore. But, now I know it's there I'm very aware of it. Im 43 and recently started on the mini pill - not sure if that's a factor....

Thanks for in advance for any advice.

Ouch yes it’s a boil

Just looks like a normal spot to me… have you tried squeezing it? Is it painful?

AnxieteaAndBiscuits · 09/11/2023 09:42

@Favouritefruits tried squeezing it. Nothing happened - wasn't painful but now I can feel it rubbing.

Thanks both for the replies. I'll keep an eye on it and see how it goes x

Sudacrem or savlon helps them go down. They don't always pop in that area...

I suggest you get this moved to sporners corner.

Hot compress or magnesium sulphate to bring to a head.

I had one not long ago but it was closer to my thigh as it was right on the bone. It took AGES to go but it eventually went a few weeks ago.

Thanks for the advice. I've just put a warm flannel on it and some savalon. Will look at getting some magnesium sulphate.

Sorry if posted in wrong place @Sisterpita. Wasn't aware of sporners corner.

@AnxieteaAndBiscuits I don’t think you posted it in the wrong place as it is a health issue, it’s just sporners corner does have some helpful (if not always medically correct 😂) people for your very specific issue.

@Sisterpita just had a quick look at the posts on sporners corner (😳) will definitely bare it mind for next time 😂
