There's a boil on my arse.

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

All in pressure points from riding a bike.
I ended up in hospital with surgery the first time.

When it first appears, apply a poultice of antiseptic cream and powder and stick a band aid over the problem, the skin will soften and hopefully allow the puss to burst out and escape.

If it becomes deep layer cyst, the only option is to cut it and allow it to drain.

The sooner you act the better the result.
Thanks Scoffer, I'm creaming it, lol. It's now even bigger, but doesn't hurt as much, although that's probably because I haven't been riding the bike all day, unlike the previous days. So I'm giving it a bit more time before improvising a lance.

Oh yeah, don't forget to video the procedure, shit like that goes down well on YouTube. You could be an internet sensation ;-)
Now you mention it. . . :lol:

No, I don't have any issue with that, but you must admit that you have a wealth of experience with these kind of problems, don't you ? But as a little compensation for my inappropriate comment I have increased your Karma.
This Karma thing is a little bitchy, I must say. Got a PM from some cockhead saying "Keep it to yerself" in relation to this thread with a reduction in my "karma" attached. Hopefully he gets a boil shortly. That would really be "karma".

Nice asshole discussion :bow: :ROFL2: , but you forgot to mention that it wasn't me who reduced your Karma. I principally don't reduce Karma for asshole thingies.

It would have been anal of you if you had, but no, it was nobody who has posted in the thread at all.

My arse still hurts. Amazing how we take being seated for granted until we cannot comfortably sit any longer :evil:

It's a tissue damage (you have mentioned bicycling I guess). The human body needs time to repair damaged tissue. All you can do is to support your body and try to avoid a secondary infection (antibiotics). Also try to get a Dimethylsulfoxid cream - it has a strong decongestant effect.

Well, that's a relief. If it gets too nasty they have to amputate. :shock:
And thank you for not posting before and after photos.

i had 2 just below my armpit when i was living in SR, was in a nightmare of a place, made the mistake of popping and squeezing, as i first though it was just an infected mozzy bite, but apparently that just encourages the puss to build up :( was in pain for weeks, anti biotics sorted it out
hope all is well now for you

When I got up this morning with blood stained underwear from the thing draining overnight my wife asked me if it was a heavy period :ROFL2:
