I am prone to sebaceous cysts I get them occasionally behind my ear or just under the lobe. They're always very painful, feel like jelly. They go down and become less sore after a week. I have seen my GP about them before and he said to me unless they go red hot with a yellow boil type head we leave them.
I have had one a few days now behind my left ear. It is very sore, not red or hot, just very sore. I am wiping the area with TCP and am picking up some antibiotic cream the GP gives me from time to time if I get them. I haven't seen him about it. I have myself in such a state about it, keep crying and worrying what if it's infected and it spreads and causes sepsis.
My hubby has looked at it and he said it's a little bit smaller than a smartie, that kind of shape, isn't red and just feels fluid filled. I am panicking because it's so sore and I feel so afraid of leaving it. There are no GP appointments now before Christmas, and I hate taking oral antibiotics as I have a very sensitive stomach with IBS at the moment. MY husband says I don't even need the GP and to relax but me being me because it is sore I keep feeling terrified what if it causes a bad infection, it's made my anxiety rocket. I have a few glands up below the ear but again that always happens when my cysts flare up. My temperature is also normal.
Any reassurance? I keep worrying myself silly and feel sick with the worry. I am dreading visitors this week as I feel so rundown and not up to any of it :-( Stress and anxiety has washed me out.
