Had a bit of a scare recently and wanted to share it here because I learned something I didn't know. But I thought I could do it in the larger context of Men's Health and we could have a thread about issues that more specifically affect men.
Hope everything is going as hoped for and you're out of the woods with this issue, T.C.
As this thread concerned larger context of Men's Health, the following seems to fit in almost perfectly here.
It's not exclusively about men's health, but as found out in conversations with basically strangers over the last several months, mostly females though as they seemed much more open to talk/share about such things and express sort of compassion at least in words, fairly common or at least not so rare condition that almost exclusively males have been facing is grown-in hair on their behinds (haven't heard of any female who had such an issue). So, sort of a subtitle for this post could adequately be:
Mess on the ass or Also Men's Health, sort of
Apologies for somewhat straight and direct first part of the above expression, but it seemed that's the most suitable wording for what my smart-ass had done to his mooning device. Few things to share to our "stronger" part of the Forum members:
- if there's a pimple/acne on or below the place where the Sun doesn't shine, rather leave it alone than touch something which you probably won't properly see what you're doing and likely make a mess out of it, especially if there's not somebody around who might take care of the likely messy results of your actions basically on the moment's notice;
- if you still go with messing with it and do make a mess at the end, for whatever reasons, like I did some 4-5 months ago, take into account that the messy thing most likely won't go away or heal or subside completely without opening it up and dealing professionally with the initial cause, meaning surgery to remove the most likely grown-in hair, no matter what you do in between and how much the situation might appear to be taking care of itself (pain and swelling almost completely gone for example).
Bottom line, even if no messing has been intentionally done, a grown-in hair on or below hairy men's behinds is quite a mess to deal with once it happened, as that hair stubbornly with all likelihood won't peep its head to see the light of the day again on its own. Even when you think that everything's going fine, pain's gone and swelling of or around the affected area's almost non-existent anymore, or especially then, it might unpleasantly surprise you by popping up just like that, over the night for example, and the first thing that goes through the mind when taking a toilet in the morning's, "oh sh*t, again, it's still there, just when I thought it might really go away". When that happens two or three times since the whole situation started, well, it seems that no matter how hairy it might have seemed and how much going under the knife has been wanted to be avoided, seeing a surgeon appears to be a right action to be undertaken.
Except if I missed something and there's some other remedy for the issue of most likely grow-in hair just below the left bottock I've been dealing with last several months. If so and you know about it, please, trow it this way, I'm eager to try it, as the swelling this time, since few days ago and being almost forgotten, is much bigger than anytime before and the pain is such that daily commute turns driving a car, even as shortly as 10-15 minutes, into an excruciating ordeal. Luckily for me, or maybe not, because otherwise I might have taken the surgery route before, the necessary or obligatory part of my job can be done standing up, when I almost forget about or dissociate the pain (obviously not a very good way to deal with it). Sitting down, even with a soft pillow underneath the ass, to put it mildly, is a rather uncomfortable position to be in currently.
Thanks.
