Big lump! (Pics inc)

NC for this.

For the last week I have had a lump brewing in a rather delicate area that I cannot access easily. Yesterday, it reached epic proportions, about the size of my thumb nail, hard but I couldn't even bear to touch it lightly.I had to drive and it was sooooo uncomfortable. Last night I covered it with sudocrem and hoped it would help ease it.

This morning, after I had winced my way through a hot press, I convinced DH (who is the type to leave his spots without squeezing them, the weirdo!) to lance it as there was a tiny head. This was quite a big deal as he really hates stuff like this.

Oh my. The pain. I was hanging on to the headboard and trying not to scream. He just kept saying 'woah! So much coming out!'. My DD took some photos for me. Apparently they got out about half a teaspoon of gunk. Yuuuuck. But the relief was almost instantaneous.

Am now lying in bed, recovering (reliving via the photos) and thought I would share with you all. Before, during and after.

No picture of the gunk?

6/10 this is ok but really should have been video footage Grin

Grin shall forward your comments for their review! 🤣

I fear it's not completely over as it still hurts a lot (but nowhere near as much as before).

Am back! Sadly it just refilled and the pain became even worse, I could barely move yesterday.

A friend has had this before and game me some cream and gauze which we applied last night and this morning it has changed shape, seems to have gathered together and is slowly expelling the pus!

These are DH's very reluctant photos. A video was out of the question, he's a killjoy sorry! But apparently there is still quite a lot more to come out.

Ooh glorious. However maybe time for some antibiotics?

Thank you OP.
For suffering valiantly for the cause.
I feel a bit sick. Perfect.

It's an ingrown hair. If you can try to tweeze it out.

ourkidmolly · 24/07/2018 08:56

Is that a bartholins cyst? If so, you need to go to the doctor really.

MrsMotherHen · 24/07/2018 08:59

that looks so sore.

ouchthatsmarted · 24/07/2018 12:48

I am going to give it another 24 hours and see what happens. It is emptying itself.

My friend who gave me the cream is a medic so I am in good hands for the moment.

This has made me feel better though. The bit around 5:30 made me jump and squeal!

I get these all the damn time. Latest one was near my belly button. (usually around lady bits). By the christ are they bloody painful!

I usually cover with germolene and some gauze and eventually they pop and I can squeeze the life out of them.

OP that video is the single best thing I’ve seen. Thanks for sharing
