My husband had this thing appear 4 weeks ago, gp did a virtual appt gave him cream said it looks like a bite. It didn’t go completely and it’s come up, any ideas what this is? Any experiences? I googled it and what’s come up is cyst? Ingrown hair? Boil and when boil came up it said causes can incluse things like hiv and diabetes can cause them so I’m worried as never seen anything like this before thank you.

Oooooooo!!!

Lots of hot salt water compresses and cover with Savlon/Germoline or Sudocreme.

If no improvement after 3 days turn see the GP or nurse but that thing would not last 5 mins in this house I can tell you!!

Looks like an infected boil. I had one on my hip and a sterilised needle led me to 15 minutes of bliss squeezing green stuff out of it. Went to docs the next day (this was back when you could get a GP appointment inside a fortnight) and got antibiotic cream which got rid of it.

My diabetes got tested and diagnosed because I had recurrent abscesses. If it's a one-off, I wouldn't worry. I would pop it, though, because I just wouldn't resist...

Magnesium sulphate and then nice the head is up a sterilised needle and a camera followed by updates on here please.

Sorry, I forgot to warn you when I told you to post here. They might know what they are talking about but by golly you do have to be ready to be grossed out by some of the comments 😆 (they really are the best though !)
