We will be in touch
Nothing so dramatic as a spot on an eyelid I am afraid.
My 'friend' has started developing spots/lumps/bruised spots or something in his nether regions (NO, I WILL NOT POST PHOTOS). They are noticably more painful after he has been riding.
It looks a bit like spots but without any head to them. The skin is then bruised as the spot rubs when pedalling. Nothing develops in terms of a spot but they can be bloody painful and last for weeks apparently. Neither washing regularly nor Vasaline (?!?) work.
Any suggestions?
Sounds like syphilis to me.
HTH
From my limited experience, that sounds like [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perianal_abscesses ]arse-abcesses[/url] to me.
Also from my experience I shall paraphrase the advice I was repeatedly given: "I had those when I was about four years old and dug 'em out with a rusty teaspoon: just MTFU and pop it, you girl."
EDIT: bum spots from cycling have can sometimes be prevented and lessened by lashings of Germolene on yer cheeks beforehand.
an acquaintance of mine used to get them every now & then, when riding only rarely
sudocrem before & especially after seemed to work for [s]me[/s] him
ernie - you obviously haven't had syphilis then
He has MTFU'd up, it was only the boil thread that brought it to mind
Scardey - You rekon sudocren will work then?
you obviously haven't had syphilis then
This is true.
And I'm not a doctor either.
It may just be some a simple rash. Has *he* tried hydrocortisone cream or just savlon when he's not riding?
Could be pesticide burns. Was the cucumber properly washed under the tap?
Scardey - You rekon sudocren will work then?
shouldn't, if there's an infection under the skin. but yes
need to change your id from BigBikeBash to BigBumBoil ??
