Encounter with a saddle sore, new saddle & suggestions from a female pro cyclist

[emily_in_nc]

I'm dealing with a lump at the upper leg crease, panty line area. In the past, I would just wait until winter for it to heal since I wasn't riding so much. This time I decided to go see my dermatologist and she said it's a cyst. She injected it with a few drops of a steroid (triamcinolone). I'm praying this will heal it up!

I've had that done twice, and it was the BOMB! I wish I still had insurance that covered this type of thing since I have a chronic sore (just a big inflamed boil that won't come to a head)! Hope yours is all gone very soon. When I got mine injected, within 2 days it was healed and didn't come back, at least that year.

Good luck to you.
