So I've got this. Day 9 and growing. I'm scared of doctors so no lancing. Used Mag Sulph all week. Any tips?

I've had boils before but this isn't getting a head so I can't do anything.

Does it feel as though it contains any pus?

I think you need to be sensible and go to drs

Definitely ready to go

I dont think thats one for dealing with at home!

Yeah that's an a&e job or OOH GP. I have HS and get similar, my one like that was a GA for incision and drainage plus packing for weeks after

Oh dear, yes, you need a professional for that one now .

But I'm a scaredy cat

Having it lanced under a local or general anaesthetic then properly cleaned and antibiotics if needed is far less scary than having it burst of its own accord and spread infection all over.

I love sporn as much as the next spooner but really this is a doctor job

Cor blimey. Urgent GP appt tomorrow I think!

Shitting hell, that's definitely one needing a trained eye casting over it. I'm agog.

Ouch, just ouch ....

Mmmmmmmn that’ll ooze some goodies I bet!

It’ll feel amazing once it’s drained, OP! Definitely worth braving the GP.

Could you film it when being drained? It's beautiful.

@Achafi You may like this Dr Pimple Popper cyst drainage. I've linked to a Daily Mail feature which includes the footage, rather than the YouTube vid to avoid pics appearing on thread as it's quite graphic

It’s too big to deal with at home! Go to A & E ( and get them to film it)

I said this on your other thread; you need medical attention. This is very large and multi-headed. You will need anti-biotics and it will probably need surgical draining and packing. The relief is instant. You won't feel a thing and it is much less likely to come back if it is dealt with properly. If you leave it to burst, chances are it will come back.

I'm a complete wuss with hospitals. Basically they knocked me out with a pre med which made me laugh so much I forgot I was having a GA. I woke up and it was done, allowed home after I had some toast

A&E or urgent GP for this. Stop being a wuss about it. I'm guessing if you are in here you have kids. I'm sure will not be anywhere near as painful as labour. Just go and sort it.

Please get it drained. Not like this man who had a go at home, note his very clean fingers!

Hope you are all back to normal soon x

It's burst. No more pain and no GP. I know, maybe I'm stupid but a fear is a fear.

Ah, I'm glad it sorted itself out. Hope the area clears up quickly now it's burst.

If you get anything like this again, please go to a doctor. Antibiotics stand a very good chance of sorting this sort of infection out before it gets to that stage.

You really should get it checked, it could be MRSA.
