Re: (Potentially gross but minor medical stuff. Abscess advice?)

[(Anonymous)]

Ugh, I hate those damn things. I get them on my boobs or around the crotch region and they hurt like hell. Hot compress and wait till it pops, which it will usually do on its own, eventually. When it does, gently squeeze as much goo out as you can (which will also hurt), wash it with mild soap and water, dab some antibiotic ointment on it and put a light bandage over. Repeat as long as it's still open, because those little bastards can re-infect and swell up all over again. :(

Or if it's really big, your GP can lance it. I've also had that done and it's not fun but it works and at least it'll be safer than trying to do it yourself. My GP also gave me a prescription for antibiotics to take.

Thank you so much, and I'm sorry you suffer with them as well! I had a couple smaller ones in the exact same spot on the other hip a year or two ago and a large one on my inner thigh (which ended up popping by itself an hour before my appointment and I had a little happy cry). :( I just feel disgusting right now, I don't get why I keep getting them. I shower every day (sometimes twice if work has been really busy/dirty) and they always come in around the hip area. Ugh.

Thanks again for the advice. I think my partner thinks I'm exaggerating it but oh my god it's so uncomfortable.

NA

I started getting recurrent abscesses as complications from diabetes. I'd get a pimple and because my skin couldn't heal right from high blood sugars they'd inevitably turn into boils.

They really had nothing to do with cleanliness. Might suggest your doctor run labs to test your blood sugar if you have the insurance for it.
