Fanjo boil

[MrsDoylesMole]

I have discovered a boil on my inner labia.It is sore and has a white head on it.
Any advice please?

At the risk of becoming known as a smartarse, may I suggest those of you who have recurrent incidences of this, should visit this site:

www.hs-usa.org/hidradenitis_suppurativa.htm

Wish I hadn't read that ...

baseball sized. suppurating..... it is too early for this.

Supperating is such a lovely word [groin]

Have you been anywhere exotically forrin? Can you see any movement under the skin?

Eek at movement under the skin

Seriously, it's probably just a blocked skin gland or something, there are plenty down there. If it is getting to be of worrying proportions, get along to the docs. btw I've had a couple before, they both popped (possibly with a little bit of help )

at the thought of a parasite emerging just there, onebat.

You would have to treat it as your very own baby.

why oh why do I decide to read how this thread is getting on when I stop for a lunch break??

I would deffinatly pop it.. get your fingers in behind the sucker.. and push it forward! ( not that I would know ) and sit in salt water afterward.

if the second one is near the first.. it might be an off shoot from the first.. in which case you might need to go wave it at your GP

I believe it's twins, Threadie

That link was just soo fascinating

Can't you just 'nip' the top off with your finger nails rather than squeeeeze? Or use a needle that you have run under boiling water first?[ouch emoticon]

I still have nightmares about that popthatzit website.

Where do these people find so many friends to come round to pop'n'film?

VERY hot bath and just sort of, um, flap ya love lips round a bit under the water to help it on its way

oh i feel your pain, i have stage 3 HS (as per link). it is not good

but anyhow.....have you burst the bugger yet?
i never burst mine just all the time but know i really shouldn't it is very very bad, although quiet pleasurable as well so best to just leave it!

I've resisted clicking till just now

Love Lips?

Just imagine if you've bought one of the MN books in Waterstones, really connected with the fabulous women who obviously inhabit the website....think "that's the place for me", then log on and this is the first thread you see.

You'd maybe be a bit, erm, surprised? or maybe not if you'd read it properly

Don't pop it, you'll get it infected and then you'll have to go to your GP and explain and you'll feel an idiot. Leave it - it'll pop on its own in a while (well, IME)

oh god yeah, we're ^supposed to be middle class women dontcha know

I know, I keep forgetting how to behave

speak for yourself, i haven't forgotten how to behave..

I didn't know in the first place

I wonder if she has done it yet.

We need an update.

I just hurt myself laughing!!

Squeeze the bugger. Hurts like hell, but omg the relief is brilliant!

Oh poor MrsDoyle and her boil

I should never have clicked that link either

Hi i have not squeezed them(the twins)
I had a hot bath earlier but resisted the temptation to squeeze hell out of them.After all it will be my flaps that get the chop if they get infected

Maybe i could do an arsedoctor trick and tie some string around them
