It had turned into a very painful boil which did indeed have a cyst in it. They lanced it....one question why did he need a tea bag? I didn't exactly see what he did I'm squeamish when it comes to popping boils.
Eternalsummersong did you go to the doctor, was curious if you had any news on this, let us know, was thinking about you :D
If the lump is hard like a marble - then get it checked asap.
Have you gone to the doctor to have this checked? I get shaving irritations under my arms, but it is not a lump. Always good to get something like this checked out if you have had it for a while and it is not going away. Keep us updated. I know what helped me with cysts on my breasts was cutting out coffee. For some reason the caffeine just irritated them.
