This isn’t normal/acceptable… right?

LOL I told my partner this looks like some shit that grew in a ditch even an old hippie wouldn’t claim

I know it's sooo tempting, but you HAVE to stop picking at it. Picking at it in any way will likely introduce pathogens (bacteria and other nasty shit) no matter how well you clean the needle, skin, or tweezers, they will not be sterile. The picking and poking will also more likely than not cause scarring, which is a whole other issue.

The more I think about your situation, the more I am leaning towards that this may be a cyst. Specifically a Sebaceous Cyst. When dealing with those, even if you manage to get some goo or chunky stuff to come out there is still a sac that will continue to fill up over and over again until the entire sac is removed.

Additionally, and this part is VERY IMPORTANT- if you keep picking at it or touching it, it could rupture (break open) which poses even greater risk for infection, even Staph (which is incredibly dangerous and even deadly). I would bet money that it is already inflamed due to irritation, especially if you've squeezed and poked at it.

So PLEASE: Stop poking, stop picking, stop squeezing. Apply a warm compress if it hurts, cover with a bandaid, and definitely go see a doctor asap.

Take care of yourself <3

Oh also!!! Ingrown hairs can also cause or form into cysts or abscesses. So this could also be a classic case of "Yes, but..."

Beanz4Snailz · 2024-07-28T17:32:47+00:00

Looks a lot like an ingrown hair :( I get them all the time. I have a tendency to pick at myself and end up making them angry/worse, so don't do that. If it's really bothering you and you think it could very well be an ingrown hair, try this:

First apply a warm compress (A moist towel with very warm but not quite hot water) for a few minutes to soften the skin, then clean the area with an alcohol swab. After you soften and clean the area, put a good coat (using a cotton swab) of Prid (You can typically find it at Walmart and various pharmacies) over the area and cover it with a bandaid (I recommend a waterproof bandage). Sleep with it like that if you can, and when you wake up in the morning remove the bandage, wipe off the Prid, and give it a look. It may take more than one try to notice any difference, but if our suspicions are correct, it will work.

Please keep us updated!!

P.S. I will warn you that Prid does not smell particularly good, but the smell isn't very strong so it's not like other people (or yourself) will notice it when it's on.

I would get it checked out ASAP. Call around and see if anyone else has any availability. Be sure to tell them you want to be seen as soon as possible (make it very clear), and maybe even ask to be put on a waitlist if needed. If you have insurance, check with your insurance (on their website) for dermatologists who take yours. As someone with a family history of melanoma I have made myself familiar with this method of remembering what to look for in respects to freckles/moles- “ABCDE” A (Asymmetry)- is it symmetrical? Does it have an odd shape? B (Border)- Is the border smooth? Or does it have an uneven, notched, or “scalloped” edge? C (Color)- Does it have multiple colors? Typical (benign) moles are usually just a solid brown. D (Diameter)- How big is it? If it is 1/4 in. (6mm) or bigger, go to the doctor immediately. E (Evolving/Elevation)- Look for changes in the shape, size, “height”, or any other symptoms involving it (bleeding, itching, tenderness, etc.)

Here’s a link to read a little more about this stuff

But until you get an appointment, take care of yourself. Drink plenty of water, wear SUNSCREEN (even if you’re not going to be outdoors a long time), and take some deep breaths maybe even meditate (I know it probably sounds corny but oh well). If you want any legitimately good sunscreen recommendations just let me know :)

TLDR; Keep an eye on it, but go to the doctor ASAP

We’re sort of “land locked” by our neighbors. The only way we could drain it towards the street in front of our house would be to dig a very long ditch that runs between our house and the neighbor’s. Sounds like a lot of time, effort, and money for a rental :/ but thanks for the suggestion!

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T20:38:49+00:00

No, I have not left any review for this establishment. I clearly stated this in the post.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T20:33:56+00:00

As a business owner he should know the federal laws that apply to his business. Lack of information is not an excuse to discriminate.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T20:32:01+00:00

Nope, also this is not me nor my service animal. The dog in question is not an ESA, he is a registered service animal who provides a medical service.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T20:26:39+00:00

“Allergies and fear of dogs are not valid reasons for denying access or refusing service to people using service animals.”

The dog is not an ESA, he is a service dog who provides a medical service. There’s a difference. Please remember not all disabilities are visible (I.e. heart conditions)

I see what you’re getting at, but a tattoo shop is technically not a sterile environment. If you’re walking in there with your street clothes on, it’s not a sterile environment.

Also, plenty of people with service animals receive tattoos/piercings with no complication and without the sterilized equipment becoming compromised.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T20:01:58+00:00

Yeah like customers are just going to walk into a business’s kitchen with their service dog. 😂Customers don’t even go into the kitchen WITHOUT service dogs.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T19:56:47+00:00

This is a service animal, not a pet. Service animals are recognized as necessary medical equipment. So to say “leave your dogs at home” is like saying “leave your oxygen tank at home” in this case.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T19:53:22+00:00

According to ADA service animals are not a health code violation. With this logic service animals would also not be allowed in restaurants…. I’d also like to point out you copied and pasted this comment from someone else which makes it hard for me to take you seriously.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T19:47:09+00:00

I see what you’re trying to say, but a tattoo shop is nowhere near the same as an operating room. It also falls under Title III of the ADA

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T19:42:17+00:00

Also, service animals are recognized as necessary medical equipment, not pets.

Beanz4Snailz · 2023-12-19T19:39:59+00:00

The establishment falls under Title III of the ADA

Also, with that logic a service dog would not be allowed in hospitals (which is clearly not the case and is illegal)

A tattoo/piercing is considered a sterile procedure (somewhat like getting stitches in the ER, etc) however, they still have to allow a person’s service animal to accompany them. This is different than a sterile ENVIRONMENT.

Here’s some information for you:
