sit down gently

don't ride a bicycle

Hot bath or shower, and squeeze it. It will hurt like fuck a little bit. Germolene/Savlon on it when you're done.

AnastasiaBeaverhausen · 16/02/2009 21:45

God I'm wincing just reading that BecauseImWorthit, and roffling at the other 2 answers.

Poor OP, I think I had one once and it went of its own accord without any squeezing.

MrsDoylesMole · 16/02/2009 21:46

squeeze it?
ooh no

don't do show jumping.

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/02/2009 21:46

But squeezing is so satisfying!

4andnotout · 16/02/2009 21:47

Have a hot bath with salt in it and squeeze it whilst in the water.
I have had one and it fecking hurt

BecauseImWorthIt · 16/02/2009 21:47

And no need to worry about scars on the fanjo, unless you show yours professionally

dearprudence · 16/02/2009 21:47

Hmmm, white head...

Draw a face on it?

God my eyes are watering now.

nickschick · 16/02/2009 21:48

Didnt someone else have this lately hmmmmmmm who could that be????

nickschick · 16/02/2009 21:49

It might me a blocked bartholomews cyst???

nickschick · 16/02/2009 21:50

it might go green and your fanjo will drop off - but whatever happens my Nanna will have already suffered it far far worse.

morningpaper · 16/02/2009 21:50

I would SQUEEZE in bath

most satisfactory

wait until husband has left the room though - spoils one's feminine mystique

MrsDoylesMole · 16/02/2009 21:51

who else?

ooo I had one of these recently. It really hurt when I wiped myself after the loo. I mean really . It felt like a little pea in my flap (which was nice)

and then after a day or so it popped of its own accord whilst doing above activity.

(and it was strangely satisfying )

MrsDoylesMole · 16/02/2009 21:53

Whoa fanjo threads move too fast.

I dont want to squeeze it.
Any volunteers ?

and agree with mp - not to be done in dh's vicinity. Ranks alongside with showing him the fascinating contents of your mooncup

AnastasiaBeaverhausen · 16/02/2009 21:53

You'll have to set up a mirror won't you to squeeze it?

Get yourself a wooden spoon to bite on while you're doing it (and hope that the window cleaner doens't happen to be on his rounds).

MrsDoylesMole · 16/02/2009 21:54

oovavu-Please say it wont pop whilst i am at work.I have visions of a loud popping sound and cue me sloshing around in a pus puddle.

OP posts:
Oovavu · 16/02/2009 21:55

no don't pop it yourself. it will ripen and pop on its own

what's wrong with me?

LynetteScavo · 16/02/2009 21:55

What's the diameter of the boil? Just so I can properly imagine it.

Oovavu · 16/02/2009 21:55

sheesh Mrs D - how big is the fucker?
