subcutanious cyst is an ingrowing hair that is infected , or the sebum (puss) is infected xx i only know this as i trained as beauty therapist a few years ago and subcutanious cyst was topip of conversation x hope it feels better soon n ouch ouch poor you xxx

hopefully the antibiotics will do their job and kill it off for you so that you won't have to have it cut out.

I get too many abcesses so I do understand the pain and feeling of being generally very unwell that these lumps and bumps bring with them.

Keep taking the tablets

Thankyou all for your kindness and for the info I think I knew about the hair folical my youngest did beauty therapy thankyou again .

forgot to say - if you have this happen again on a weekend or bank holiday either go to one of the NHS walk-in centres or to A&E to get anti-biotics so that it doesn't grow to a size where the only choice is lancing it or cutting it out. The Doctors and nurses won't be funny with you as they woud rather you had antibiotics in good time than have to have a procedure.

I'm a lucky Nanna, my daughter, her partner and my little grand-daughter live with me ... so I get to be a full on Nanna which is just lovely. Amelia is 8 1/2 months and getting ready to start crawling any day now! She is such a happy little angel - she has been to her great-Aunty's today and I'm missing her like mad - need a cuddle before she goes into her cot

Thank you all for your support & kind words it is now about 1 and a half inches from side to side and 1 & a half inches top to bottom well its now all iky as the (pus) yuck is coming out doc said I could give it a good squeeze @ each dressing change don't know how he expected me to do it I get enough pain am unable to inflict pain on my self so my hubby is doing it & seems to be enjoying every bit of it but not in a nasty way its just that he no longer feels as helpless as he has done for the past 19 years he now has the oppertunity to eliminate a sorce of pain for me I think that's why he's enjoying it.

Will keep you posted as to how its going.
