Pigsa Kicks Butt!




So, I guess this is what you really want!!! You came uninvited in my life but why can’t I force you out? I became too weak. You give me so much pain, sleepless nights and shameful days! Since the day you came, I began to wear loose-fitting shorts coz it seems you don’t want me sexy! I made attempts to wear my favorite shorts but your pain always reminded me! You turn me on and makes me hot all over! But why do you want me to walk unsteadily sluggish!? We perform only three dull positions everytime we sleep so I thought you're just using me. But on the other hand, you are always there for me. You should have given me signs that you were coming! I rant! Sh*t na pigsa/bukol! P*tcha! ^$#@*(*&!@#$??!!?

Pig^sa- n. furuncle/boil in english. A painful, circumscribed pus-filled inflammation of the skin and subcutaneous tissue usually caused by a local staphylococcal infection. And whatever that means, I don't care to know further. I want pigsa away!

Idle is my mode for the past few days because of fever. I’m having an on-off fever because of this pigsa (which I’m still not sure) located at the side of my butt’s right cheek. Of all parts (infuriated grasp…duh)! I’m not really sure how I supposed to call this thing. I got a fever before this came, I believe it was because of the changing weather. I just remembered that before this occurred, John Carlo, my son (cousin) and I had a pillow fight, harutan and we boisterously teased each other. And the next thing that happened is this. I’m still not convinced it’s pigsa or boil coz I couldn’t see any third-eye or hole (just like what most people say about it). :-P This thing on my butt is reddish and painful! It even gets bigger everyday! Sh*t! My cousin had this few weeks ago and I teased him about it. Is this karma? :-(

I think I asked the doctor about this few years back when I had a minor breast surgery, so I claim I knew what to do. I searched online and some tips helped me just like in
Bambam's blog I never stopped looking for ways to cure it without going to the doctor coz I really hate prescriptions+doctors (though I took some antibiotics)! Gosh! Thanks I’m doing much better now. I know I’ll get better very very soon.


SOME HELPFUL TIPS FROM ebadesabelle.blogspot.com

  1. (REAL ) You can self administer the removal of your pigsa. But make sure that the malambot part ( it's usually at the center) are really soft and whitish already... hinog na ba... it's easier to get the, um, 'mata-mata'. i'm not exactly sure what this mata-mata is but.... it's this semi-solid material that if you get it off the afflicted area... will bring you complete relief. yey.
  2. To make the pigsa mature and hinog faster, it helps if you apply hot compress on the afflicted area. This brings more blood to the area which means there'd be more white blood cells and so... mega pus formation galore!!!
  3. applying ointment that has 'petrolatum' and antiseptic is okay too.... but it seems to make your pigsa grow scarily big... but yeah, it works. it just has a funky smell though. yep, petroleum...
  4. It's handy if you carry with you a roll of clean white tissue and a garbage plastic all the time... you never know when the pigsa might pop!
  5. It's handier if you have a 'pigsa towel' (plain towel) with you. It's be less nasty if you have ointment applied in your pigsa... your mom won't have to kill you too for destroying her immaculate sofa covers...
  6. It's handiEST if you have both. mwahaha....
  7. I dunno why but it hurts when plain tap water hits my afflicted areas. Nevertheless, don't skip taking a bath!!!!! If you will, you'd smell like a lethal combination of ointment and vagina or vagino (if you're a guy. haha). It's lethal alright. And not just for you.
  8. It's not surprising if you get a fever because of this pigsa (in my case i already had the fever and THEN came the pigsa). When the happens though, go to your doc. Your pigsa might need professional extraction. (aka surgery!)


If not, I'll kill you pigsa!!!

gumaling na mga pigsa ninyo at di na ulit kayo nagka-pigsa? meron kasi ako nabasa sa webiste. meron mga tao sa america na all their life meron sila pigsa. nakaka-takot. nagka-pigsa kasi ako 3 weeks ago. nun guamling na sya, nagka-pigsa ulit ako. i just hope, last pigsa ko na ito. it hurts like hell talaga. nakaka-badtrip. would taking lots of vitamin C help para di na ako magka-pigsa after mag-heal yun second pigsa ko? markus_jon@yahoo.com

gumaling na yung sakin. pero after a year bumalik din. kase parang yung mata kase, di nakuha nung unang time na nagkapigsa ako...but see a doctor if its not getting any better...

actually, i seek a doctor's help. i took cloxacillin 500mg na anti-biotics. so, gumaling agad sya at hindi na nag-full blown pigsa. the thing is, after a week na gumaling na yun 2nd at 3rd ko, napansin ko na meron ako ulit tiny red spot na parang pigsa ulit sa may butt ko. kainis talaga. ayaw ko pa naman uminom palagi ng anti-biotics kasi bad daw yun sa katawan parang na-i-immune katawan mo sa anti-biotics if you take it often.

so, completely healed ka na sa pigsa mo now? never na ulit bumalik after nun 2nd pigsa mo?

i thought yun una ko pigsa ay nakuha na lahat nun mata. i guess i was wrong.

thanks for posting. akala ko hindi mo na mababasa posting ko.

please post again about sa tanong ko.

thanks much - markus_jon@yahoo.com

yeh, after my 2nd, hindi na bumalik... 2nd and 3rd mo? so you mean that's your 4th one?

you better consult a doctor about it, and ask about the antibiotics :)

HELLO! I have pigsa on my butt.. And It is very painful.. I can't sleep last night coz of it.. Do I just have to wait for it to heal or do I really need to consult a doctor.. Its my first time to have one.. Please help me :(

cathara said...

hi anonymous, i dont check my blog as often so this response is very late. sorry bout that. i assume that your pigsa is already healed. in case it comes back (which happened to me 3 times).. please consult a doctor. it never came back after that very minor operation. i just waited for it to get healed before thats why it came back. the eyes or what they call 'mata ng pigsa' has to be taken out so it wont come back anymore :)
