These infected sebaceous glands typically happen near stretch marks. The oils are not able to escape because the skins surface is marred and a litte volcano like pimple forms. But unlike a pimple, the infection is much deeper and can't drain on it's own.
UPDATE: After three days of eating high protein and dairy, I ended up with constipation and bleeding. I am back to moderate eating, but I am having a hard time of it.
At least this one isn't a genital boil. I had those when I was having periods more regularly. Horribly painful!
Why am I writing about this disgusting topic? Because I want to look back and remember these bad things. I'm going to the doc tomorrow so that he can treat it AND so that it will be in my medical records, because when this fat is gone, I'm still going to have a droopy belly and that means skin on skin.
Skin on skin leads to rashes, fungal infections and boils. Some of these boils are caused by the MRSA bacteria. Scary.
documenting this now gives me a better case for plastic surgery on my pannus later. I want it GONE! Insurance companies are more likely to spring for a panneculictomy if there is evidence of repeated infections. Of course, this doesn't happen until after achieving a stable weight loss.
Oh, and on my 5 month diet, I'm finding that the protein is keeping my cravings at bay. Fingers crossed!
