Very much TMI and kinda gross. You have been warned.
I get little ones infrequently, but a few times a year. I got one on my back a few years ago, though, that got infected. And very, very, very swollen. It was so swollen that when I finally got to see the clinic dermatologist, he couldn't believe it and asked to be able to take pictures for documentation. (It was about the size of a softball.) He used tons of local anesthetic and popped it. The gauze from draining it piled more than a foot high on the counter. And an entire bottle of packing material wasn't enough to fill the hole, but medically, he was not allowed to use more.
So, I guess, be thankful yours don't get that bad? I do understand that they suck, though. Although I kinda like popping the ones on my breasts. (The labia ones hurt too much to be as satisfying.)
