Your GP should be able to simply treat it with antibiotics, although if it's particularly nasty, they may need to cut it open and clean the wound. But it's relatively minor surgery, and your GP clinic should be able to do it, I think.

dam its embarassing going to my gp..

i hope it dosnt come back, and hope it doesnt cost anything, or too much for that matter

and i hope i wont have to stop lifting for aynmore than 2 weeks after surgery

and i think i should go straight to the hospital, bcus its embarassing to go to my gp, plus id prefer getting it removed

Yeah if you just go to the hospitals emergency room, you will have to wait a few hours in the waiting room but they will sort it out. I had an overnight stay, 20 min operation, felt groggy for a few hours, but was back lifting in less than a week with no pain, basically once they drain it the pain is gone..

so u said they cut it out for you..

shd i drain or cut? i wudnt want to come back and wait again

and you went back to lifting, in less than a week?

I think its like a 1cm cut, then they pack it with gauze so it heals from the inside out so nothing gets trapped inside? maybe different with everyone but mine healed sweet

do they use anesthesia?

"Deepest, Biggest Butt Abscess-Cyst, Post-Op(VERY GRAPHIC"

(-warning contains explicit content)

^ That's correct, I think I was dropped off at like 9 am and picked up at 3 pm? it's been over 10 years since it was done, if you don't get it removed it could dig deeper so I'd get it looked as ASAP bro, you don't really get much of a pain once done

[Imadeapoopsie]

any1 kno which is the safest anesthesia, thats least likely to cause death, heart attack, strokes... i fear general anesthesia for sure...

or, is it possible to use painkillers instead?

[Pseudonym]

If you're nervous about the anaesthetic, I'm pretty sure it would only need to be local, not general. Regardless, you need to get it looked at. It's been 4 days since you first asked about it. The longer you leave it, the worse it's going to get. Go see a doctor NOW!

[maccaz]

I was shitting myselef about general too, they said local wouldnt work that well as the swelling/infection counters the local. Did the general, honestly not bad at all, have an injection, wake up a bit dopey a second later, hang around in the hospital for another hour then you're free.

go for it mate its not as bad as i thought it would be and i was terrified lol

[Imadeapoopsie]

the thing i forgot to mention is i dont feel any pain..

but when i look at it there are like 2 boils and a couple of pimples with pus in it... yet still i feel no pain?

tho, im still going to go tommorow morning,

so i wont have to stay the night.

....or would do i not need to cut it until it starts hurting?
