Great big effing boil on my neck! Help!

[BagofHolly]

I've NEVER had a boil, ever, and now, 4 days after I go from long hair to a short bob, I've got something that looks like another nipple. It HURTS! I've put metanium on it and it's coming up to a point but there's no head on it. I don't feel too well either but that might be unrelated.

What should I do?! Help!

Am at hospital, getting dressing changed and might have overdone the pain relief. I'm quite giggly, considering, and my feet feel very far away. Scared.

at least you are in the hospital now, i for one am very glad of that...

don't be scared {hugs} better to be floaty and a bit detached and it will make things easier.

oh, good luck!!!

How long in hospital? I hope it's just to get the dressing changed.'if you are still on for the wedding though you could give it a face, attach a small suit to it and introduce it as your friend Pustulio.

Hope you feel better soon.

As an asid is that givenchy mask being modelled by X factor wannabee Rhydian?

Respect to you and your evil Lord Voldemort second head Holly!

Hope it's not as painful as yesterday.

Oh good luck, old thing. Hurrah for opiates!

Is there any chance the nurse can post a pic?

How did you end up at the hospital? I think you're meant to be at the GPs and then toddler group?

Where is she? Shouldn't she be out of horspital slipping into a Givenchy gimp mask by now?

she's probably just slumped in a corner, in an opiate haze somewhere....

Good luck, BagOfHolly- you're in the best place. I can't believe you weren't sent sooner.

I am returned! With hindsight I REALLY overdid the pain relief and had taken enough to stun a pig so it was a breeze! It was the same HCA as yesterday but a different nurse and she made me lie on my tum to dress it. It had pussed loads overnight, and the dressing was soaking and leaking, and hanging off! I hadnt noticed and realised everyone in the waiting room sitting behind me, would have had an eyeful of green neck poo.

Anyway, she got this freezy numby spray and sprayed it on. The way I was lying, the can nozzle was right next to my nose so although the spray got to the wound, I got a couple of big lung-fulls of propellant! And by gum, it did the trick! It was like having gas and air! I didn't feel anything at all and was happily semi flaked out, on opiates and something similar to lighter fluid!

It's all packed and clean and nice, and the best news is, I don't need to go to have it dressed over the weekend, so we can get to the wedding afterall!

Huzzah! I'll upload a photo, kindly taken by the HCA, and then I'm off to the park with a bag of glue.

The square redness round the edge is where I reacted to the glue in the dressing I think.

It looks less angry now!

Holy crap! It still looks awful, better but still awful. I think you had the right idea going overboard with the pain meds to be honest!

Jings crivvens and help ma Boab you poor woman!

Enjoy the wedding and have a great weekend - you deserve it!

It looks so much better. Careful with the codeine, a tiny bit sends me dizzy and floaty.

It looks furious - but I think you are winning.

Enjoy the wedding.

flaming nora! It looks hideous... but I suppose the pussing is better than the black necrotising stage...

Maybe you should attend the wedding in <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?q=darth+vader&hl=en&sa=X&tbm=isch&prmd=ivns&tbnid=vBH_t_RhPFiKnM:&imgrefurl=www.coachhousegifts.com/seasonal/product.php%253Fproductid%253D40858&docid=6P-Ni1c126Po4M&w=1600&h=1600&ei=SFpOTqKANdHIsgaLtemaAw&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=450&page=1&tbnh=160&tbnw=160&start=0&ndsp=20&ved=1t:429,r:14,s:0&tx=91&ty=71&biw=1366&bih=643" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">this

The cape and helmet would hide Mr Zitty; the lightsabre would be useful for any emergency lancing (methinks pure light would be sterile?) and the mask could cover the surrepticious inhalation of any gaseous substances, legal or illegal.

I know black isn't really de rigeur for weddings, but on this occasion needs must.

Marlin, I'm cconsidering a burqa!

It's scary - when I started this thread, the photo below is how it looked. Anyone would be proud and pleased to have such a juicy spot, but that was before its radicalisation.

Did you tell the nurse why you wanted the photo?

"It's so I can upload it to satisfy the strange desire of a bunch of strangers on the Internet for pus-porn..."

Aah, it looks so sweet! Don't they grow up so quickly? In the blink of an eye there they are, size of a denby side plate and pussing for England...

Fucking hell Holly. Just fucking hell.

You poor poor thing.

That's grim...carry on with your opiates as long as you can...it looks so so sore.

We are all taking the piss gently teasing about what you're going to wear to your wedding, but seriously, what are you going to wear to hide your second head little spot?

love you.
