A few months ago I noticed a little bump
that felt like a pimple on my very lower
back, almost on my butt. You couldnt see
it but you could feel it. It was about
the size of the pea. Now over the past
week its grown to about and inch long and
an inch wide and is very painful! Does
anyone know what this could be?

I felt pain so I looked in the mirror.
Now the bump is bigger and darker almost
like a bruise. It also has a white spot
close to the center!!!! Does anyone know
what this could be????

My guess is either a pimple or an ingrown
hair. I would suggest soaking in a hot
bath for awhile and then try to pop it.
It will hurt, but.... I had an ingrown
hair so bad once that my b/f had to take a
knife to it! Ouch!!!!!!!!

Eww a Boil Posted: 12-08-04 18:36pm
I went to the doctor today and they said
it was a boil!!! He said it had gotten
infected and was really deep!! I had
minor surgery on it to remove all of the
puss.Yuck! It was very painful!!!! If
anyone has symptoms like I did please go
to the doc. He said if it would have
gotten any worse I could have ended up in
the hospital. Now I am taking loratab
and ibprofen for pain.
