I have a line of raised tissue from what I can feel... when I bend in half to try to look, it doesn't look like anything really... hard to tell when I'm danged near upside down tho

I was sure mine was an infected hair initially, so I kept letting it go... for about 7 months. Yep, since right around the new year. That may be why mine finally started rupturing.

I saw one "specialist" who said there is nothing they can do for me, and to stop riding my bike. Fat chance... called my regular doc (who referred me) and she said that was a load of cr@p and gave me a different referral. That's how I ended up with a doc and nurses who have ridden several centuries! He looked at it, assured me it's fairly common and no big deal and the next week it was gone, baby gone! I may try a short ride tomorrow... stitches came out yesterday and it's only mildly tender now... its only been 8 days, so not too bad! Good luck with it...
