Just a little note- if you have one nearby, and the hours work out, stuff like that is better brought to a **Urgent Care Center**. Don’t get me wrong, seeking immediate medical help was the rigth thing, but sometimes the UC is faster, and it’s often cheaper and a nicer place to hang out, too. ---

That’s quite a size to have had in your finger all these years. I had a cyst removed from my spine last year. Over the years I’ve had a couple of larger ones but this small one was right under my bra strap and because it sat on my spinal cord, it caused a lot of pain. It took the doc about 10 minutes to remove it and a week to heal. ---

Well it could be worse. The thing could have run down to the bottom of the ship and started killing the crew one by one till you had to blow up your house. ---

Hahaha, gross. Man, I hope I get a sebaceous cyst that I can pop out like that someday. That’s really cool. Have you tried cutting it in half to see what it looks like all the way through? ---
