This is nasty, but somehow....
I got a boil on my big toe. Eeewwww!
Anybody know what causes these things? I was thinking maybe it had somethings to do w/the shower at the gym..... yuck right? Anyway, i can barely walk... i remember my friend had one on his back a while back and i was givin him hella shit, cause he was crying like a little girl....... Now i feel for him. This shit is PAINFUL. I can't even walk.... i have to hop around on one foot, and the toe w/the boil (what a nasty term) on it is like swollen beyond recognition. Cartoon foot style. Anyway, i'm going to the doc later to get this bad boy drained, and hopefully get some Vicodin (they gave the homie some when he had his)...... Ouch.... ouch..... ouch......

"(boil) a painful nodule formed in the skin by circumscribed inflammation of the dermis and subcutaneous tissue, enclosing a central slough or "core." Called also furuncle. Boils occur most frequently on the neck and buttocks, although they may develop wherever friction or irritation, or a scratch or break in the skin, allows the bacteria resident on the surface to penetrate the outer layer of the skin. A "carbuncle" CARBUNCLE is a group of interconnected boils arising in a cluster of hair follicles.
CAUSE. Most boils and carbuncles are caused by Staphylococcus aureus. When these bacteria gain entrance to the skin, the infection settles in the hair follicles or the sebaceous glands. To combat the infection, large numbers of leukocytes travel to the site and attack the invading bacteria. Some bacteria and white cells are killed and they and their liquefied products form pus. The body's defenses may succeed in overcoming the invaders so that the boil subsides by itself, or the pus may build up pressure against the skin surface so that it ruptures, drains, and heals. Boils most often afflict healthy persons but occasionally their appearance is a sign that the resistance is low, usually as the result of poor nutrition or illness. Patients with recurrent boils should be suspected of being chronic staphylococcal carriers. The nose is the most common carriage site. TREATMENT. In most cases a single boil is not serious and will respond to incision and drainage. Systemic antibiotics are also sometimes indicated. Although complications are rare, a boil on or above the upper lip, on the nose or scalp, or in the outer ear can be serious because in these areas infection has easy access to the brain. Other danger zones are the armpit, the groin, and the breast of a woman who is nursing. If bacteria from a boil enter the bloodstream, septicemia may result. (See also "blood poisoning" BLOOD POISONING.) " http://my.webmd.com/content/miller_k...tselectedguid={5FE84E90-BC77-4056-A91C-9531713CA348}

Update:
So i went to see the Doc yesterday, and he numbed my foot all up (w/novacane i think... at least thats what it felt like..... in my bloodstream) and proceeded to slice me wide open...... he removed a cyst about the size of a pencil eraser from my toe.... i watched the whole thing, my foot was so numb, i didn't even seem like it was my body i was watching get disected. Anyway, all went well, he gave me a couple stitches and some antibiotics. I got home and decided that i think it was only right for me to get some pain pills, soooo.... i called up the doctors off and i was like "I'm in excruciating pain, god help me! blah blah" when in all actuality, my foot was barely sore....... So they called in a Vicodin prescription for me...... and now? Aaaahhhh........ chillin.
