Cysts are nasty...

GrdLockV6 · 01-20-2007, 10:45 AM

I've had one on my upper back for like almost 2 years and never took it to the doctor to get it drained. Well, in the past couple of weeks it's gotten to where I can squeeze it every couple of days just like a really big ass pimple.

I've gotten it drained enough that it's damn near gone, but man... the stuff inside this thing STINKS hardcore.

Anyone else ever had one of these things?

I had one on the back of my right ear from an old piercing. It swelled up about the size of a golf ball! THe first time It dried up and drained on it's own. THe second time (two years later) I went to the clinic and tyhey wanted to slice it upen and pack it w/ gause...

.. I told em FK NO! Just drain it. I'd do it myself but I don't want to make it worse.

Recently I had one on my back, but it was more like a pimple...

... anoying...

WTF? Are these things pretty common? That sounds pretty nasty.

I had one on my left side, under my arm years ago. My doctor told me it was a sebaceous cyst (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebaceous_cyst). It was harmless for a year or so, then it became infected. When infected, it was very painful, it would hurt to lie down on that side in bed. About a week later, it started draining, like a pimple, just like you said. It was pretty gross, lots of thick, chunky white stuff came out. It was almost gone, but never quite completely gone. That was about 19 years ago, and over the last year or so, I've noticed it has grown a bit again.

I've got one right at the top of my ass crack.

Had it removed a few years ago, but it comes back once in awhile. It's ****ing disgusting, and the worst pain I've ever experienced. I need to get it worked on again, but I've heard it's pretty nasty surgery, and I haven't had the time to get it done. I think it's a polynoidal cyst, or something along those lines.

Oh, and I've had several others. One on my back, which was removed and is fine, and another on my inner forearm. That one was actually pretty cool. Got it removed, but it was big enough that they couldn't just make an incision and remove it. They had to cut out a half-dollar sized section of skin and pull it out. The best part was when the hole was gaping open and the doctor asked if I wanted to check it out. I could see tendons and ****! It was awesome, and I've got a nice big scar from it.

i've got one by my right shoulder blade. it got to the point where i could drain/pop it like other people have. one time i squeezed it and it shot blood and nasty thick stuff about 3 feet onto the wall.

it's been about 2 years now and i can barely even feel it there.

Ya, the first time I realized I could start squeezing it, it shot a TON of stuff out!

Mine has never hurt at all though.

You're not sitting on it everyday, for at least 8 hours.
