Anyone ever pop an abcess?

No, but I pulled out a planters wart out of my foot before.. The thing was killing me, and I dug down in there with my nails and pulled that f*cker out. I cant tell you how much better it felt when I was done. I went to the docs first, and he had me putting some medication on it, and it wasnt cutting it. I took matters into my own hands..
Ive never seen one, so im not sure.. I never heard of popping one, drained yes..

I gotta think that's not real...Looks more like silicone caulk than puss. Plus, wouldn't there be blood too? I had an infected nail once and when I squeezed that bitch, bloody yellowish shit came out.

may be difficult to pop an abcess if under the skin. not so easy to get directly to the pus and you may be causing yourself a lot of pain.
i had an abcess on my finger once. the doctor had to use a scalpel to access it. boy did that kill even after he injected me with lidacain (sp?) UNDER my fingernail. i was literally screaming in his office it hurt so bad. when he drained the pus it was like instant relief.
i once had a carbunkle (boil) l on my quad which is sort of like an abcess, but easier to see the center. it was huge and extremely painful. it had a point on the end full of pus so i dug my thumbnail into it and pushed the pus out with the hands. not a pretty sight but it did the trick.

yeah i thought abcesses are to deep to pop? hence you have to get them drained... that's crazy though.

i never understood the biological reason for abcesses. you would think the body would find a way to clear the abcess naturally.
pus is just dead white blood cells, sent to the area to fight the infection. why cant the body rid itself of the pus so that it doesnt get stuck in there and cause so much pain.
maybe abcesses do clear naturally but take a very long time? medicine can relieve the pain quicker?

Drawing it out with a syringe would be alot easier.

but how can you be sure you're getting all the puss out with a syringe? there's gotta be some left over. what'll happen when the remaining puss gets left behind??

good question. chances are you dont have to get all of it out to relieve the pain and pressure. if you are able to get most of it the body may be able to rid itself of the remaining pus. the first goal is to relieve the pain.
i have never had an abcess from injections but there have been several times where there was major swelling and pain in myu glute that i thought might be one. my mind raced thinking of what to do.
face it...noone wants to go to the doctor or emergency room and admit you have an abcess from injecting your ass with juice.
what size pin would you use to withdraw? it would HAVE to be 18" or smaller. pus is all thick! not sure if worth the pain and guesswork of trying to do it yourself.

Abscess can look a million different ways, and can go a million different ways,
Have and MD lance it, clean it and give you anti-biotic.

You wont and neither will your doctor ever get it all out. You have to break the membrane at least and drain it to allleviate from pressure and rid your body from as many dead cells as possible, thats the only reason for that, If you dont break the membrane it (the puss or should I say the entire globule) can harden over time leaving a cyst/abscess that will then need to be surgically removed. When you drain as much as you can (which are only already dead white blood cells in the first place) your body will absorb the rest. The draining just cuts back on some of the work your body has to do. Its all nasty but your body is tough. Even if you had a sliver of wood in your body eventually over time your body will break it down and absorb it too as long as it is biodegradable

i draw and inj with 20g. i guess 18 wouldn't be much worse. not that i'd want to go through anything like an abscess, thoughglennds said:
when i saw that, the thought of popping a blister, pimple, or abscess didnt bother me much. i could handle it. one thing i can't handle, though, would be to eat all that puss.... yum??odoyal rulez said:
