Went to the er this morning and all they gave me was an antibiotic doc said he couldn't lance it I have to see my doc Mon. He said it was an abscess idk if that's how you spell it but I'm in so much pain I cnt do anything. Gosh I just wanna feel normal again. I've done hot rags and hot baths AND it just feel like its getting bigger other then getting better. Ugh... Hopefully it will pop on its own or I can make it til Mon
If it's a boil you are not supposed to pop it. You are suppose to put warm/hot rags on it or get in a tub that's as warm as possible for us preggers.....a boil will only make its presence known right before it pops....days before and they can be really painful! The heat will draw a head on it and make it ready to pop on its own.....the only other thing you can do to a boil to may be get it to pop is by pulling the skin all around it not pushing it....by pushing it you will make it sorr and worse....I think it makes the head go back in and stay longer is why they say don't pop it like a pimple. You can also try pricking it with a sterile needle then pull the skin all around to help it but either way it's going to hurt since it's already been tried to pop. :(
Try putting a warm wash cloth on it for a while before you try popping it or stand in a warm shower for awhile. That usually works for me.
I had two of them but i cant say they were big but they were painful.... i popped them out and two days later they went flat and disappeared ... i know the pain and hope yours will go away.... maybe your hubby tried to pop them when they aren't 'ripe' enough or ready...does it have pulse** in it? Or just reddish?
If it's that bad but can wait maybe go into urgent care tomorrow. It's probably an ingrown hair. I had a bad one once. I wasn't prego though so I could see it. I was able to get the end of the hair out then pulled the hair out w tweezers. Felt 100 times better.
