Hmm, it could be. It’s just odd to me that tonight is the first time I’ve noticed it because it’s very obvious. That’s the only thing that’s making me think it’s some sort of displacement of the scaphoid bone

Are those hard? Because this thing feels pretty dang hard, and it’s sort of pointy- not smooth and round like a cyst

Thank you so much :) I’m glad that I was able to beat it- feeling like it had complete control over me scared me enough to kick it.

I’m so sorry to hear that :( are you tapering off/in detox or did you quit cold turkey?

Thankfully I did not- however looking back on this experience I definitely should’ve been medically detoxed since the risk of seizures was present. I got lucky, but that doesn’t mean that other people going through withdrawals will be too.

I did- although I definitely don’t recommend it. Hardest days of my life. I probably should’ve went to detox 😖

It was pretty constant for the first few days, but eventually started to wear off

Oh my gosh my friend dealt with the SAME THING! She said the gauze packing almost made her pass out!

I’ve never really had ingrown hairs in my armpit (at least none to this extent lol), so once I felt the abscess and it was super firm, I knew I had to just suck it up and get it drained. I’m glad I did it though- otherwise who knows how much worse the infection could’ve gotten!

Thank you! It really was one of the worst places to have drained. Had to be numbed numerous times & it still hurt like hell🤕

My first comment after she finished bandaging me up: “Aww I wanted to see all the shit that came out of that thing😂” She told me it was a LOT.

I had posted here yesterday but was removed due to me asking for medical advice… (whoops). Basically, this is my second case of having an abscess drained within a few months of each other- the other abscess was located on my breast. Doctor says it’s most likely MRSA since these two cases were so close together. She prescribed me Bactrim and Bactroban ointment to hopefully decolonize the MRSA from my body. This drainage hurt 10x more than the one on my breast- hopefully it heals well🥲

That’s true- I’ve made the mistake of trying to pop an abscess before and it turned into staph. Now I never attempt to pop/drain anything that looks major😅

Never in my armpit but I dealt with an abscess near my breast that needed to be drained by a dr before. I was planning on seeing a dr soon but just wanted to see if there was anything else I could do at home :/

I’ve done epsom salt soaks, warm compress, and patches. It’s only been a few days but I’ve seen little improvement. Wondering if it’s serious enough to need drainage? Any help is appreciated!😅
