Used to be in the olden days one might hear the old folks complaining about a boil on their ass. Having to carry around one of them donut pillow things to sit on the hard vinyl seats of the Plymouth sedan or the church pew.

Might even overhear ol' Harry mentioning it to Mildred in the A&P grocery store line. What a conversation for a kid to have to overhear, eh?

Haven't heard anyone mention boils on their ass since the Johns Mannville plant closed 40 some odd years ago.

Don't even know if WalMart sells them damn pillows any more, as the nearest one is 100 miles away and I can't drive up there just to check. Would ruin my run of not going in one for a long time too, if I did.

Do people even get boils on their asses anymore? If not, why? Better TP? Personal wipes? Not having to sit on a wooden throne in the outhouse? More frequent showers/baths than just on Saturday?

What gives?

OK H_N, I asked kaywoodie how he knew about TikTok.

Please don't tell me you watch that weird program

I always thought it was more of a figure of speech used by old timers to express displeasure, , as in "son, you're like a boil on my ass."

Don’t know about boils but I gots bruises on my right butt check. No I didn’t tell honey bunch something looked bad on her. Last week I did an inspection of a old areaway well with some steep rickety wood steps. It had rained earlier in the day and even being mindful to watch my step as I went down it didn’t help, about the third step my ass road the other treads down to the bottom. Dang it happened fast. I don’t bounce nor heal like I use to. Mostly embarrassing but it did leave a mark trust me.

What a weird topic...

Have never had one or know anyone who has.

They are real. Most of the time if you had a large boil someone would lance it for you.

Osky

You guys don't get boils on your ass?

huh.

Suck your boils out with The Extractor

Works on old man nipples too, if youre into that

In Dad's old time drugstore, they sold "drawing salve" for boils. It made them come to a head so you could drain them. I haven't thought about that in many years. For a minute I thought you were talking referring to Joe Biden when I read the title.

Futurama is a great show! Daughter and I used to watch it all the time. We watched the Simpson's as well.

Somehow I knew this topic would be right up Slum's alley.

Icthammol is one of those drawing salves I thought he was talking about Joe Biden also.

Slumlord gets it.

Ask. your dad.

I bet he knows someone that had one. He's an old timer like some of us folks. And you're doin' a fine job with him Roger.

We still watch the Simpsons. Lots of satire and making fun of the world.

But, they don't have some one eyed chick on that show................................



just a three eyed fish........................................



and Moe.

That's just gross.

Really???

Thankfully me either.

Yeah I'm gonna go ahead and call that pretty fuggin nasty.

A guy going through flight school at the same time I was got one on his butt. The doc had to lance it and he was grounded for several days. Several years later he was a Blue Angel 😊

Icthamol ointment or some such. It will suck out embedded cactus, locust and mesquite thorns and brown recluse venom.

Probably suck out stingray barbs and maybe snake venom.

Haha. I reckon.

Mmmmm…Deviled ham..

“Put that on a cracker dude..”

-Stalekracker

I had a feeling ol' slumlord would dig up something like that for some viewers' pleasure.

Not mine.

Hope all is well Mr billy.

Here you all go. Do it at home.
kwg

There is something about an ER doc making a 2” deep cut into the boils pocket. Then packing it with gauze.

Had a brother who had one. The procedure in the beginning wasn’t fun, he said. Then removing all the packing was worse.

🦫

Had a big one one my hip when I was a high school senior. Practiced with it all week with a knee pad taped over it. I caught a pass, got hit on that side, blood and puss went everywhere. At least it was gone.

Umm, cheddar







🦫

All good here. You too, Geno.

Stop wearing underwear and no more red ass

Duh, Are we maybe talking personal sanitation

I hear them really big ones are called carbuncles.

Mostly hear the old folks mentioning their boils though.

Hardly ever hear a good carbuncle story.

Still using up oxygen here. Life ain't so bad if I can say that I guess.

I googe fu'd it and it's caused by bacteria on the ass.

They've found a solution, it's called showering.

I thought this was a thread about sAcharlie

Slum, will have a carbuncle picture up shortly for reminiscing purposes.

🦫

Prolly has stories of having to put up the jarred beans in Nana's pantry 'cause her carbuncles were botherin' her somethin' fierce the day he brought them by.

I had one in my nose when I was maybe 12. A man down the road was the local expert. He would check it every day until it would come to a head. Then he would pop it. Hurt like like hell but saved a trip to the doctor witch we couldn't afford We always wondered ii somethng was in the water because all the kids in our little rural town suffered with them at one time or another. The rich girls went nuts and didn't go to school for a week .One ended up with a tiny scar on her lip and said it was caused by birth control pills. it was a big joke because nobody wanted to be with her any ways' She ended up in Omaha Nebraska stripping at a less than top club.

Could be Staph or Strep just saying

Bloomin' Onion anyone?

(Go ahead, click it. You know you want to...)

Correct.

I had one that was staph related. Got plowed down to the ground working cattle one day, and one stepped on the back of my hand cutting it up pretty badly. All the manure in the pens, despite cleaning the wounds well developed staph.

Had a boil come up from that staph infection that was damn painful. Had to drain it many times before it healed. Nuclear antibiotics. Doc told me he can knock the staph down, but once it's in your system, it can return.

Sons a Veterinarian and he gets into some nasty abscesses, bout the same as a boil on you ass!!

This. I’ve heard them called carbuncle’s, too.

Dad was real old school.....he compounded his own mixture. I think it had pine tar derived base as one ingredient, it was that color. Those days are long gone.....the store had a great soda fountain....I haven't had a Coke or Ice Cream Soda that good since.

Old folks around here called them Risens.

Had one on my thigh when i was in Jr high.

Prolly from football clothes...

Came to a head. Had to get the core out.

Or furnucles.

There used to be a lot of under-diagnosed venereal diseases.

Now it's MRSA.

Never made it to the team. Arches "fell" during try outs.

Our school (and probably many/most others) had issues with impetigo from the wrestling mats though.

That staph stuff sure does nasty things to a fella.

Damn. After this and slumlords pics I think I'm gonna grab some turpentine and a wire brush and commence to scrubbing down my arse.

Valsdad: I have never had a "boil".
I have had an ingrown hair a time or two and I have had maybe 100 infected cactus barbs in my "arse" and knees and hands!
Now those get to hurtin.
Hold into the wind

Working with livestock you tend to get boiles

Or, maybe try soap, and a wash rag in a shower more than once every 6 days.

😂🦫

This post is a [bleep] refund from last year

several years ago i was at a deer lease and one of the guys had a boil inside of his nose. it was making him sick and one of the older guys lanced it for him, the blood, puss and horrible odor that was released was something i dont care to encounter ever again......

I seem to get a pilonidal cyst every summer. Apparently they're common with motorcycle riders. Talk about pain. Top of the butt crack.

I found a furuncle pic with maggots but I just can’t

can’t do it

Substitute Modoc for Lodi...

Every time I hear about boils. I think of the movie Zorba the Greek!

Scumlords video is a syst not a boil

Thank you kind sir.

Your gesture of restraint is well accepted here.

Stfu

Having been in/thru Lodi a few times I wondered about the origins of that song.

If Alturas hadn't been 3 syllables, but two instead, and the band had come through this way we might have been singing a different tune in the 70's!

I’ve seen abscesses on cattle that would make a rat from a dumpster puke. Can remember one that was the size of a beach ball. When I lanced it…well unless you’ve seen and smelled one you can’t even imagine.

Might be a good reason for me to continue to mostly hunt by myself.

Stop, just stop.

On the jaw

Don’t want to be critiqued by the Furuncle College Graduates.

3rd grade Chainsaw College Grads give me hell as it is.

🥴

Uncle Furuncle got a me gig a the squeezins clinic. I was able to dip ‘cope and spit into a Mtn Dew Code Red bottle all through my 2 week apprenticeship.

Thought i had a boil on my right but cheek one day and it was about half inch. Next day tripled in size and was oozing puss to fill a bucket. felt like i had the worst flu ever. Finally went in to get checked out and it turned out to be mersa. Got it lansed and 2 shots of antibiotics and said there is only 2 that work and dont know if this with work. It was literaly eating my flesh and they said if i had not come in I probably would become septic. Get your self checked out by someone if you dont know.

Frankie says

Relax. Don't do it!

fuggin Dr Pol scheidt there.

Myiasis

Don't look like that person be doin' so well.

Might should offer them a Dr Pepper or Mt Dew to cheer 'em up some?

I'm really getting tired of these Biden threads. I won't even read them anymore.

Well, it's not a Ukraine or "which scope" thread at least.

And I didn't call anyone out.

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread. Gross just doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

Every six days? Son, you're just like a boil on my ass.....
Ain't nobody got time for all that.

Suit yourself, Smoke and enjoy your carbuncle head.



Lol

🦫

Who you calling carbuncle head, furnuncle breath.

All I know is, I had one eye close and holding my breath while I downloaded that disgusting pic.

ESAD Slummy for that one.

Lol

🦫

Pretty sure if I ran into a critter in the woods that looked like that......................................



I'd have to shoot it to put it out of its misery.

Well.....

Over 5 or 6 years I've had numerous infections like that.
Never got an exact name from a doc, but cellulitis was mentioned.
The first was... on my ass. Couldn't get it to go away, I made a poultice of
Epsom salt and enough water to make it plastic. Let it sit there awhile a few times.
After a day or 2 it opened, and my wife was able to pull the greenish crud out of the hole
with tweezers. About the size of a pencil, and an inch deep.
Kept folded paper towels in my pocket to
keep the ooze from showing. Sitting at work was painful.
Suffer and keep the mouth shut. Sure wasn't telling those guys!

Got another within a few weeks, it wasn't healed for an unrelated doc visit, he looked at it,
gave me drugs.

They then moved to my head, in my hairline.

4 or 5 over a few years. Head to toe showers in antiseptic soap or a bleach product
helped little. Several required cutting, some packing. Doxycycline is my friend.

Several were cultured, all came back as the same bug as MRSA but not resistant.

A new doc recommended a salve used to treat people colonized with MRSA.
I apply it directly to any pimple type thing that might become a problem.
It stops it cold. Haven't had one in two or 3 years now.




PS. You wanna feel like a roadkilled possum to buzzards,
show up at a clinic or ER with your head swollen like there is a hand underneath
The skin. And a big red knot. EVERBODY in the medical field loves to cut into
an abscess. And folks who aren't even needed try to be around for the explosion.

Renegade’s buddy WillyG had several on his hiney. He called them “spider bites”

Dillon,

dude, that would suck. When i started reading your post I wondered if it was some sort of staph infection. Glad they seem to have found something that works mostly for you.

I have hundreds of Doxycycline tablets

But no assboils for them


Daily prednisone makes my asscheeks white n shiny

The scheidt we sometimes have to go through to get rid of the scheidt we got!

I was diagnosed 15 or so years back with "non-specific dermatitis", little spots would crop up, mostly on my legs. Looked like little ingrown hairs/pimple things but itched to high heaven. I thought it might be a fungal deal, as I was living in SE AK at the time and don't think the humidity ever dropped below 50% (which this boy ain't used to). Skin scrape came back negative.

Best they could do was give me some prescription steroidal ointment stuff to stop the itching which would cause me to use my gnarly heels one my legs during the night. The ointment caused me to have some pimples so I got an antibiotic ointment to use on them. Found out that antibiotic was the bomb on puncture wounds, like fishhook pokes. Cleaned them things right up, no infection and healed fast.

Dermatitis mostly gone now (gee, I live in a very dry place now??) but I keep that antibiotic stuff around and get the dermatologist to refill it on occasion.

Sheesh, it tell you.

Sheesh

I got winded reading alla that

Smoking will do that.

Valsdad,

I used to have to wear rubber gloves for work. For the whole shift.
The moisture caused my skin to get trashy, dry, and itchy/burnt.
Doc gave me a steroid cream.

It worked, but not like I wanted.

No matter how much I rubbed it in,
The itch went away, but I never could get any growth.😎

Want I should call your doc and tell 'em to get you one of them fancy oxygen carts..................or maybe call them folks on the TV ads for the portable O2 generator?

I hate wearing rubber gloves, but it's a bit of a necessity when working in icy water in some of the places I've been.

Rubber boots/waders are about the same.

That’ll go well with his Dickies onesies…

You can get to the front of the line at Sav-a-lot like that.

Shop in the golden hour. 7-8 am.

😂😂😂

Does your state have laws against wanton waste? If you had to skin that thing out, you might shoot yourself to put you out of your misery.

I keep forgetting, some old folks up and about at that time of day. Maybe their lumbago or rheumatiz is acting up.

Me, I'm just getting done feeding the chickens and dickie birds at 0700, and usually starting on my second coffee around 0800. I ain't drivin' to town at that our most days.

If I were slummy, and lived in a big enough town, I'd be doin' my shopping at 11PM when the store's mostly cleared out and I can block an aisle while I read labels on 6 different versions of the same item to see which one has the least sodium, or a better price per ounce. And the only folks I have to yell at to get out the way are the ones stocking the shelves.

Just have to tell 'em it was a coyote with mange. No requirement here to pick up and use yotes. Can't even sell them for fur any more.

Too much cheatgrass.

We had an old mare many years ago which got a lump jaw. Then the cheat migrated up and exited between her eye and her ear.

The top got lanced, and the bottom got lanced. Then hydrogen peroxide was injected with a 25 CC syringe into the top incision, until it ran out the lower incision. A couple times per day for about a week, along with daily shots of good old Combiotic.

That old girl healed up and stuck around to carry game until she was about 36 years old.
