[Closed] Medical advice: boils.

lance it and video it and stick it up on here. full sound

[url=

video[/url] should give you some guidance on how best to treat it.

A boil? Or just a plook?

If it really is a boil Get professional advice you might well need antibiotics. Some are best lanced some are not - depends if you can feel a reservoir of pus under the surface and how deep it is.

Pics?

If I had the guts, I'd video it, but I'll probs scream like a girl.

That video is PRICELESS: I can only dream of the relief the guy must be feeling. I hope he's drunk though cos it must hurt so fricking much. I particularly like the way he keeps asking ot be shown the results...

Is it a boil? Well, it's got no head despite a massive chamber of cack under the surface (which is astonishingly annoying) and is tender as the night.

Believe me, you don't want pics...

How can anyone on here who is medically qualified give you an opinion without any pics! 🙄

Go to the doctors, they can turn pretty nasty.

I had one on my forearm, and did the classic man thing of leaving it until it was so painful I could not continue to perform my daily chores. Suffice to say I now have a large scar (with a bizarre hole in the flesh where it was) and had to take a long course of anti-biotics.
😳

Massive chamber of cack you say - you can feel it?

If you have the bottle lance it then - sterilise whatever you are going to do it with - hold the skin tight and a nice firm jab. Otherwise go to your local minor injuries clinic and get them to do it.

Are yo sure it is not an alien?

And yes - we do want pics - preferably before and after if not during.

Is anyone on here medically qualified???

Doctors you say, I should go, ay? Hmmm, well that would be damn inconvenient...

Can I feel it? CAN I FEEL IT????? Something with the mass of Jupiter has entered orbit in the skin under my forehead and you're asking if I can FEEL IT????

Yes, I can feel it.

But I'd rather not as it hurts. A lot.

Can you feel the liquid centre? thats the indication for lancing it

Drs is not a bad idea - antibiotics might well be needed. Minor injuries clinic at your local hospital might be a good bet as well - open out of office hours and just walk in.

Prolax? I thought Picolax was the weapon of choice on here...

No liquid centre, just a mass of tender pain.

No liquid centre - forget lancing! you need antibiotics - the sooner the better

Ok you sick voyeurs, but it ain't pretty, or actually that exciting:

you need antibiotics

But I've never had antibiotics in my life - what if it kills all the friend;y gut bacteria I've worked three decades on...?

Not that bad - deffo not ready for lancing and after seeing that pic I prescribe a big does of MTFU.

Antibiotics might be indicated

I prescribe a big does of MTFU

But it [i]hurts[/i]...

banana, you seem to have a spot

that video though ! - more of an exorcism than a lancing 😯

Back to that video - looked like a cyst to me. Had/have one on my back that got infected and got very sore and angry. GP had to cut it open without anaesthitic - boy did that hurt! Got home after work and had great delight in squeezing more pus and cyst material out of it 🙂

Now got a bit of a scar and due to have the cyst removed properly in a few weeks. Can't get enough of those videos - something really satisfying about them!

you seem to have a spot

But, like I said, it [i]hurts[/i]...

And that video is truly inspiring: I know what you mean about the satisfaction angle!

I think that's a spot, not a boil. Sorry. You might want to avoid squeezing it unless it has a crust, since you'll force the infection deeper into the skin.

get the potato peeler out and whip the top off.
video it as well. it will at least be worth 250 quid for the video

Jedi, dude, Jeremy Beadle is dead... 🙁

get the potato peeler out

Like your style though!! 😀

i had one on my back once. i dismantled a pencil sharpner for the blade and sliced it in a mirror.

looked like zoro had got me after 🙂

Shit, you're twice the man I'll ever be.

Shame you didn't use yer light saber though...

That video was absolutely vile....but strangely entrancing. The amount of pus in that thing was truely spectacular. It was like cottage cheese at the end, the woman doing that must have had a stomach of steel.

As for the op, that's just a spot, MTFU, wait for it to grow a yellow head and then give it a squeeze.

I remember getting a great big spot on my foreskin. It was big, red and seriously hard (the spot), for about a week, and then I bit the bullet so to speak, gripped my foreskin from the bottom, pulled it down until the spot was shiny and exposed. Quick grip with my other hand and SQUIRT! All gone.

What? Have I gone too far?

Just be glad you haven't got a pilonidal (sp?) sinus. The stinking pus that comes out of one of them really is something to behold. I've had two, first time before I found out what it was I thought I'd grown a second arsehole it was that foul.

You never forget your first ****, ay Sam?

There's defiintely a certain amount of unsupervised-male conversation on here after a certain time of night...

[b]NEW FLASH - UPDATE[/b]

Oh you lot are gonna love this:

I woke up this morning to find that the swelling around it has got so bad that I can't open my eye properly.

Think I might have to MTFD a bit and go to the hospital. When they ask I'm gonna give my name as 'Joseph Merrick'.

looking nice, I still think it's just a bit of a spot though. Jam a pin in it.

its a spot!!!

Nah, it's defo not just a spot. I'm a bit of an expert on spots cos I have my fair share and throughly enjoy, against medical advice, squeezing them. There's no squeezing this bad boy and the swelling around it is insane: it's encroaching on my eye socket and I can't open my left eye all the way!

It is to a spot as Terminator is to Robosapien.

Have you got a dremel? That'll sort it in a jiffy!

Gaffer tape?

Beware hard-of-hearing nurses, if you wear glasses...

("No nurse, I said remove his glasses & prick his boil!")

IGMC

Maybe a Dremel and THEN gaffer tape, if we're going down the real man route?

Get a lance

FAIL.
it's 'spectacles', not 'glasses'...

thank god for that Andy. I thought I was being thick 🙂

it's 'spectacles', not 'glasses'...

Oh TFFT, I thought the mighty boil was draining away my intelligence when I didn't get it the first time.

Pop it you big wuss!

hold a hot wet flannel on it

Right, sod it, I'm gonna give the needle another go.

Should I ice it or hot water it first?
