This is interesting. I actually had one back in March/April on my neck. It took me FOREVER to heal up because I refused to tell my doctor about it. Hurt like a SOB and it has left a pretty good scar on my neck. I took a pic of the damned thing...it was pretty glorious in a very disgusting kind of way. :D I can't figure out how I got the damned thing, since I'm an OCD kind of guy. I take 2-3 showers a day, and I rarely if ever sweat. :shrug: The only thing I could think of was that my immune system was really compromised because of the diabetes or something.

But yeah...this thing was about the size of one of those old Kennedy silver dollars.

That looks more like a "gumma".
(tertiary syphillis)

It's not syphillis.

I'm gonna agree that sic'em most likely doesn't have an STD.

Is that your fingernail in the pic? If so, you scratched a bite and it got all infected cause of your nasty-assed hands. Geez.

You can't **** around with cuts/sores with the beetus Frosty. That **** will kill you. My granny got an in-grown toenail and lost her leg damn near to the hip. You got a death wish or something?
