surgical removal
you may be offered antibiotics first and a watch and wait over the course of them

rubyslippers · 29/07/2025 16:41

You can try hot compresses / baths as well
they can be very stubborn

Thanks @rubyslippers can gynae be the only ones to remove them then I take it?I was silly to assume Dr might have had a go today she said she doesn't think its anything sinster an has put as routine referral which could take 6 months unless gynae decide to change me to urgent I have had a lletz treatment 2 years ago but I dont think its related I feel like I never leave gynae these days x

Don't try and pop.
Hot compress on the area.
They are quite common.
Mine vanished in it's own without medical intervention ...
