Yay!!! Hope you’re much more comfortable now

faeriesandelves · 03/01/2023 23:08

Ready and waiting too! I'll be late for work tomorrow but this is more important than a decent night's sleep !!

faeriesandelves · 03/01/2023 23:10

I'm passing the time waiting by looking up Carbuncles on you tube. Another rabbit hole to go down for another day, wow !

Sorry for the delay - I'm in shock at how many responses I've had 🤣

Just need to work out how to upload the video - it was EPIC! And I felt instant relief ! Have drowned it in TCP so will be keeping a close eye on it !

You can’t upload videos to MN directly if you don’t already know that but you could set up an anon tiktok or YouTube account and upload there then post the link here? Sorry if you know all that, just in case you didn’t

This is better than Christmas with all the anticipation!

Also, it is not near the bottom of my spine as such, definitely right at the top.in the middle above my left cheek !

I had a carbuncle on my upper back once, that was a job for antibiotics and I slept whilst it drained itself 🤣🤦‍♀️

I seem to get these epic spots/boils semi regularly so will definitely upload again in future for those of you who enjoy it as much as me 😎

I think it might be worth getting a referral to a Dermatologist. Recurring boils can be a symptom of an auto immune condition called Hidradenitis Supprativa. It’s also known as acne inversa. They have treatments not available to your GP

Place a clean glass bottle in a pot of very warm to hot water. Let the bottle stand in the water for 10 to 15 minutes. Any type of clean glass bottle will work such as a soda bottle or a beer bottle.

Remove the bottle from the hot water and empty the water out of it. The bottle should be very warm and you should be able to handle it without it burning. The bottle should be as warm as you can comfortably stand.

Place the opening of the bottle over the boil. Hold the bottle in place with the entire rim touching your skin. You do not need to exert pressure while holding the bottle just make sure the rim is touching firmly and securely.

Allow the bottle to cool completely while you are holding it. The boil will break and the infection will drain. This works because as the bottle and the air inside cools, it contracts. Contracting air will create a vacuum and pull the head out of the boil. If the head is not pulled out it will pull the head and infection to the surface. Repeat if necessary. Wait at least 2 to 4 hours before starting the process.

Clean the area with antibacterial soap and a disposable paper towel. Pat dry with a paper towel. Apply an antibiotic cream and cover with a bandage. Do not use a towel because the towel can harbor the bacteria and spread it to someone else.

My ex and I applied this method to his chin when he had a huge boil.
We used a glass milk bottle and the puss all collected in the bottom it was glorious. The only down side was him having a huge lump and a mild burn from the hot milk bottle on his chin all over Xmas.😂😂

So pleased you've had some relief!

Fantastic!

Did he feel relief after it was drained?

Did you apply anything afterwards?

It's all good. We will be recognised as primates, grooming each other and ourselves.
