There's a boil brewing in my armpit!

[ThrowThoseCurtainsWide]

So naturally I thought I'd share its journey with you all

Currently it's a marble-sized swelling with a hard lump the size of a large pea inside. Not even close to having a head yet so it's watch and wait. I don't have any mag sulphate otherwise I'd be putting that on it tonight. Will get on the hot compresses in the morning.

My first boil - I'm quite excited!

You can only post here with photos.

Ah, there’s nothing quite like your first. I’m quite envious

Ok, so it turns out that it's really hard to take a photo of your own armpit!! Apologies for the hairiness, not up for putting a razor anywhere near Mr Boil!

Posture doesn't really do it justice, I will see if I can get a better one after a shower in he morning

Picture that should say, not posture!

You can sort of see the original infected follicle and then the swelling around it. Am hoping for something more spectacular in the morning

Anticlimactic. Still didn't look any different in the morning, I gave it a small prod and it had a tiny head. Little squeeze, this is all that was inside. On the upside it's stopped hurting!

Well done Throw! Well done! < applauds>
