Sometime in 1986/7 I went to a doctor for what I found out was a sebaceous cyst on my left shoulder blade. Not going into detail, but I was left with a permanent reminder of this cyst. That is, the bulk of the scarring remained.
Yesterday, after an inflammation and a 6 week battle of with anti-biotics, I could finally get the beastie removed. Under the careful assistance of Avril, I had the cyst professionally removed. The size of a grape, the surgical excision took 45 minutes under local. Now I have a 4cm scar with 5 stitches. Strangely, apart from the pain of a deep skin wound; my body seems to be relieved that the nastiness has gone.
The left hand side of my body is a war zone. Scars, infections, palsies. LOL
Hi Nick. At the back of my head, I was hoping to see pictures. (sorry)
Good to know you are feeling relieved. At least that makes the whole effort worth it. Cheers!
Janette– No pictures; that would be a little too much personal transparency when blogging 🙂
