Sore spots.

[bacarver]

I got the path report this morning. The bump is a cyst that has been with me for quite awhile . . . long enough to have developed scar tissue. There is associated inflammation. Dermatologist injected it with steroid (essentially painless despite her warning that it would really hurt).

If this doesn't work, she'll excise it.

I'm pleased with the plan because I can continue to ride to reach my goal of 1500 miles. I'm so very close.

I don't use any creams in my cycling shorts. Just me and the padding. I do have some bag balm I may use in the future.

The mystery has been solved!!
