Ingrown hair armpit abscess. Swollen firm nodule that felt like cyst, drains cyst particles & hair.

Likely small cyst that formed from an ingrown hair, increased in size, got inflamed and then popped. Definitely not what I thought I would see when I opened the skin, but interesting non the less. I did see minimal cyst wall, definite cyst contents, and multiple 2 inch long hairs inside. Patient did have significant discomfort so she will feel much better now with that inflammation and fluid drained. She had normal looking fat lobules (adipose tissue) and no that wasn’t a lipoma. 😉 Abscess pop. Ingrown hair removal. Dermatology excision and closure. MrPopZit.
