    Lump/boil down below

    Hey everyone I have what I think is a boil down below right on my knickers line at my leg. I have been putting magnesium sulphate on it to try and draw whatever is in it out but so far it's only been blood and its excruciatingly painful. Any tips or other ideas on how to get rid would be great. Thanks.

    It sounds like a sebaceous cyst. I had one a few weeks ago and I used betnovate cream on it, I don't know if you are supposed to but it did the trick and it was gone in a couple of days.

    I had one of these and the pain was awful. I used to put sudocrem on mine, unsure if it is recommended for this but it was all I had and it did go in about a week . I also used to put a warm flannel on mine when I had a bath just to help the pain.

    I agree with alma re the warm flannel...a hot one may be better as it helps draw the cyst.
