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!

I have so loved this thread. My eyes are crossing because I am SOOO tired, but I've had to get to the end before I can go to bed.

Holly, if you ever start blogging then let me know. You are bloody marvellous!!

I'm so touched you all still care! It's itching like mad and being redressed again tomorrow. I think the hole is getting smaller, and I'm hoping we're heading to the end of Cyst, Kath and his baking exploits!

Tell you what's FREAKING me out - over 2300 views on just one photo! OMG! The nation has seen my pus!

Ooh good luck Holly. I think itching is a sign of healing.

ps don't worry, those thousands of views were probably just repeat views from the MN Pus Brigade on this thread.

Not just the nation, the world!

Holly you are amazeballs.

The itching is def a sign of healing, and it's looking loads better! Huzzah!

You are very good for sharing the pictures. Should we expect a soppy video mantage when it finally packs it's bags

Holly for PM! Yy to montage

I must admit to sharing it around with other mnetters on another well know boil thread. they are just such good pictures!
No one has a boil quite like yours Holly, its like something out of 'James and the Giant Peach.'

I would just like to add a Thank you for tonight's entertainment.
Dp and I have been Roaring at Cyst Fabregas.
I may have dehydration from the many tears of laughter and Dp is still shaking with giggles as he makes an Airfix model for Ds.

An airfix model of Cyst Fabragas?! Or just some lousy airplane?

Holly, you know you're going to need your bob trimmed just as Cyst has departed, don't you? Causing the whole cycle to begin again we hope

It's looking much better. I'm about convinced that you will live :)

Also, Holly try to remember not to put your holiday photos on that photobucket account

Just a bloody plane. Dp gets to make them, Ds gets to indulge his obsession. Ah the joys of ASD.

Holly, it's been 48hrs - any progress?

Progress! My hole is smaller and less ratty looking! Its itchy, amd as i walked past Steamer Trading Company today, it felt like it was vibrating but that may be a coincidence. Am off ABs but on fluconazole as all my happy flora are dead and candida is rioting down below. I don't have any photos of that, but today's look is here!

Gavi will help, won't it?

Wow he it looks tons better! Sorry to hear about your fanjo, but thanks for not sharing pics. What is Gavi?

I have followed this thread and not posted so far, but wanted to give you kudos and thank you for sharing the life and death of your parasite boil.

Get thee some natural yoghurt for the after effects of the AB's, and once the AB's have finished, some mega strength probiotics. Your gut flora will quite frankly be fucked after that assault and the last thing you need will be IBS type symptoms lingering and paying respects to your dearly departed second head.

Lovely speshul winey goodness, v dry, v cold and v lovely. Medicine for mums.

Probiotics like yackult, or more hardcore? Have slapped on canesten but it's worthless, plus 150mg fluconazole yesterday and today. It's frothing and stroppy.

Natuarl yoghurt on yer bits will help balance you all out again and soothe the itch If its still not clearing then a day or two cutting out sugar and wheat will def do the trick!

Poor ole CystFabregas almost back to whence he came. I'll miss the old sod, but will remember our good times fondly!

Oh and Holly, Did you ever know that you're my hero...........

Re probiotics, Yakult is good but you have to tke it for a month, solid. No point in a week. The (good) bacteria needs to grow back and it will take a while

Get natural yog tmrw from the supermarket, whack it in the freezer for half an hour then apply...instant bliss

I would take it in conjunction with a high dose Vit C and Zinc supplement as well (one you dissolve into water, not a tablet kind)

Also grapefruit seed extract is highly anti-bacterial, so some of that might be good too...

GlaikitFizzog, (sing up) "You are the wind beneath my wings"

Oooh yeah freeze it first! Forgot that bit! I had almost 4 weeks of Abs after DS was born. Infected CS scar then mastitis. I ate 3 large tubs in 3 days and a 4th was reserved for "application" :o

We'll head to Holland and Barrat tomorrow! This is the worst I've ever had it.

You're everything I wish I could beeeeeeeeeee
