Now then, ::::shaking finger and smirkily grinning:::: You bad, bad-boy you...not running to the doctor the first time to have a bump!! For SHAME!
If you keep taking 50+ drops of echinacea 5 times a day for a week...ain't NObody gonna believe how much it's shrunk in size/infection!!
And if you'll split open an aloe 'leaf'or two along one edge (leaving it together at the other edge) open it up and tape/bandage the gooey inside to the area in question, you'll have yourself a bonafide miracle to show them-thar doctors and naysayers in a week.
Okay, whoops, your wife might not go for that kind of 'whole leaf quackery'. But still, you could scrape/filet the "gooey" from the inside of the aloe onto a a gauze 'bandaid' and have her put that on there. That'll still do great healing things (not quite as good/fast and as fast as the whole leaf, but still, very good things).
Hit that sucker from within (echinacea) and without (aloe)...and they'll be tellin' you all kinds of 'scientific stuff' like, "well, sometimes these things just heal themselves" and/or "see what AB's can accomplish". By the way, you can ditch the ABS's (methinks the doctor will never know...and with the echinacea enhancing your immune system, the AB's are just killing off all kinds of useful bacteria).
Of course, if there's some kind of growth at the center/core, it might not go away completely before you get back to the doc...but then again, I've had lipomas as big as a pencil eraser come out on their own (and even bigger ones come out in sections after I poke around at them for a few days). Keeping the skin seriously moist (especially with aloe) is the best way I've found to help them break through the skin.
Hmmm, pain meds you say (Percoset yet). I just gotta tell ya, this ole hippie gal still has one lil' part of her 'recreationally toxic years' that says, "Percoset? You have some? One of my all time favs - don't throw 'em away!!!". (that'd be the devil-unyquity). And then my angel-sane-brain says, "Now cut that out, you know what junk like that does to your liver!" Sigh, oh my, those "good ole bad ole days"...they certainly did have a life-long impact, that's for sure!
Stay the course! Give me a big ole cyber-holler if ya need anything :o)
