Bra-less is the way to go! High 5 Dej! I haven't worn one since age 14? Or 15? I have a mole that's right where my strap WOULD go, it's raised, it has no problems (I have it checked routinely due to where it is) and I'm tiny in the chest, so I can get away with the tank top/tshirt combo.

Beary, I imagine they're hesitant to remove it, because of the possibility of it returning. We'll see what doc says tonight though.

I wish I could go bra-less sometimes. But, things get in the way if I'm not wearing one. Someday, I'll get those things made smaller, so that they arent in my way all the time.

My boyfriend will be sad, but I think me and my back will be very happy, and I wont have to spend a lot of money trying to find a bra that doesnt have structural failures so often.

I also have a mole on the front of my shoulder, that the strap rubs on occasionally. But, it usually doesnt cause me a problem.

Geez Laura . . . are you re-living my life?

I had a cyst removed from my forehead in my mid thirties. It was one of those hard, underground ones (not the boil type), that would never have surfaced on it's own. I waited a year, and it was getting bigger.

I had it taken out by a plastic surgeon, because it was large and would leave a scar. She cut so that the scar is in a natural "wrinkle" place, and now my wrinkles have caught up with it.

It's really no big deal to have removed. They just froze it while I was awake, and did the minor surgery. The only part that bothered me was the sound.

Cherie

LOL maybe Cherie, maybe!

Mine's kinda soft feeling (it was 'hard' when it was small, after it had shrunk from my IVSM trips).

Doc. appointment is very soon, so we'll see what she says then.

Ok cyst is infected (well, I kinda knew that!) and so I have a script now for an antibiotic cream to apply to it.

And my doctor's referring me to a specialist to have it removed. YAY! Have to get rid of the infection before they can remove it she says.

I did ask if they'd send it for biopsy, and she said that they always do, so that's good as well .

Oh, and she was very pleased to hear that I'm doing so well on such a low dose of clonazepam (.25mg or .5mg max daily) that she said, "Call if you need that prescription filled, that's excellent to hear the head pain is gone as well!".

So she's no longer questioning giving me that prescription, and she also agreed 100% to have the cyst removed due to location.

Oh yeah, and she said "I'm not surprised to hear you slept like a baby on Clonazepam". She laughed at my mental picture of my bedsheets thrown around the room (was the case previously!)

Hey laura~ I'm seeing this late, but glad that you went to the Dr. My DS has had a couple of cysts that sound like yours. One started out hard and small and then all of a sudden, one day it was red, puffy and extremely sore.

I took him to his transplant surgeon and he removed it immediately and packed it. Like yours, it was full of infection. Glad your'e getting it taken care of. I believe they called it a Sebaceous Cyst. You'll do just fine! *Way to go to be your own advocate*

Thanks DM.

I'm actually looking forward to the procedure of it being removed. I'm such a tomboy when it comes to gross stuff in the body LOL. I'll actually want to see what they pull out

Hope the ab helps and you are feeling better soon. Its a darn crime that MS isn't enough of an ailment for us to have to deal with!
