Saddle boil

I think that antibac hand gel stuff (like in hosptials) is high in alcohol - you don't want that 'down below' anywhere !

HTFU Fossy . I've been using it for a long time with no problems and I don't need a red light on my bike.

Well after a long red hot bath the bugger has finally burst, so after a good half hr squeezing the horrible stuff out a small dressing with neat TCP has been applied.....stingy but much better now, how long before I can don my lycra again guys.

I think that's the jeeps bum the go had, the doctor called the hospital to get me booked in for the operation but the surgeon told him that Mondays are 'bad days for operations'. Glad I never found out what he meant.

brilliant thread - not on my bum or balls but once had what i think was an insect bite on the back of my leg which i squeezed in the bath when i found it...it turned the bath water red it bled so much after a long string of icky stuff had fired out at speed. it left a hole which is now a scar...it was grim

IMHO Anal Fissures are worse. You get the same pain except you know you are going to have to force crap through the wound and they can take months to heal.

If it is a boil then bursting it will help if you can take the pain. The problem is the skin on a cyclists sit bones is like the skin on a runners feet so it may need to be broken first. But beware some folks get impact injuries which look like boils but come to nothing so trying to burst it is a painful waste of time. The best thing for those is to GENTLY squeeze them frequently with your fingers with a rolling action to improve the blood supply so it repairs faster.

Your gonna need a good light and a mirror to see what is actually going on. The changing rooms in marks and spencers is not appropriate.

The good thing is you know it is going to get better in due course whether you do somethign or not. Good luck.

haha! this is useful information

Well me veg isnt aching anymore, the pain has completely dissapeared, I think a weekend ride is in order, its amazing how fast these things go once the actual sac of nasty stuff bursts, the firey heat has gone straight back to hell
