Mmmm, primitive self surgery. It’s affordable and timely!
No deductibles!
I saw someone squeezing one just like that at the eating table of a Benihana, not joking.
We got up and left the table to that Obama Aunt.
Slow news day Nick?
We could bump that stupid thread about the turkeys circling the dead cat too.
LOL you sick dang...
People are weird. I got stitches one time and as I’m leaving, they tell me to come back in two weeks or go to my PCP to get them removed. Huh? Just wash them, cut them, and yank em out of there!
I had a dog that got an ingrown dew claw (extra claw about halfway up her hind leg that I didn’t know she had) grew around in a circle and poked back in and made a little cut in her leg. I told a girl at work about it and she asked some question that assumed I took her to the vet to get it taken care of. I probably looked at her like she had two heads. If I took her to the vet, he’d get a pair of heavy duty nail clippers and cut it, clean it, probably bandage it, and give her a prescription for antibiotics (which helps HIM, not me, so I don’t sue him if it gets infected). Whereas, I took some heavy duty nail clippers and cut the thing, and washed off the site. Like I said, people are weird.
From what I remember from getting these removed, you can’t just squeeze out the cheese because the cysts have an outer lining that will just fill up again if you don’t remove that too. Keep the tools and alcohol handy I guess.
If you really want to be disgusted, go to YouTube and look up "jiggers" --chigoe fleas, invasive to Africa and thriving thanks to poverty and a lack of basic hygiene, that burrow under the skin and lay large white egg sacs that have to be dug out with knives.
It's all cool!
Neither one plays
If it’s a sebaceous (sp?) cyst, that stuff really stinks!
If they didn’t remove the lining that produces the sebaceous material, it will fill back up and swell up again
Sebaceous? That’s bodacious! I wonder if the guy’s name is Lance.
On second thought, maybe that wasn't the brightest thing I'd ever done....
Bad news for home choppers, if you don’t get the entire cyst wall, it will just grow back, even a little piece will grow into an entire new cyst.
Because of the residual scar, it will be even harder to get the whole thing out next time.
That’s a big’un.
Beats a $3,400 deductible, on top of $15,000 in premiums.
Insurance companies making record profits.
