Answer 1

What you have is called a hard boil or abscess. It hurts like h**l and thats only the beginning; wait for the squeezing part. I've had my share of it.

An abscess (Latin: abscessus) is a collection of pus (dead neutrophils) that has accumulated in a cavity formed by the tissue on the basis of an infectious process (usually caused by bacteria or parasites) or other foreign materials (e.g. splinters, bullet wounds, or injecting needles). It is a defensive reaction of the tissue to prevent the spread of infectious materials to other parts of the body.

The abscess should be inspected to identify if foreign objects are a cause, which may require their removal. If foreign objects are not the cause, a doctor will incise and drain the abscess and prescribe painkillers and possibly antibiotics.[2]

Surgical drainage of the abscess (e.g. lancing) is usually indicated once the abscess has developed from a harder serous inflammation to a softer pus stage.

I didnt do the doctor thing....my parents are old fashion so as soon as its softens, it was squeeze like a normal boil. You cant see or do this by urself. Embarrassing as it may be, someone has to squeeze it for you while u sink ur teeth into a pillow and pray to God for it to be over. Upfront, its gunna hurt like h**l and you can do nothing but take the pain. I bet u finding it  hard to sit down on that spot and when you put pressure on it, it hurts.

It should be ready to squeeze, a couple of weeks after its formed. But you can still see the doctor and do it the modern way and pay for surgery. I know my cousin is going thru her first one (i've had like three) and she is in terrible pain.

Goodluck!!

Home remedy

Historically abscesses as well as boils and many other collections of pus have been treated via application of magnesium sulfate paste. This works by drawing the infected pus to the surface of the skin before rupturing and leaking out, after this the body will usually repair the old infected cavity. Magnesium sulfate is therefore best applied at night with a sterile dressing covering it, the rupture itself is not painful but the drawing up may be uncomfortable.

I would think if it is the large, you should go to a Dr. and have it drained. That does sound quite painful. Good luck!

Answer 3

Sounds like what my sis had. Bartholins cyst. You will need to take lots

of warm baths. Best bet go to doc get some antibiotics and get them to

bust it.
