Had to find a doctor who was a triathlete before they would do anything. It wasn't very big - but it kept going up & down. He numbed the area & drained it. Unfortunately I didn't have a mirror as I really would have like to see it. I sort of thought I might have stitches & the whole thing. But just a plaster & was back on the bike in about 4 days (gently though). It's never come back & try as I might I can't even see a scar there. I agree - cut, cut cut!! Next time we might try it at home . . .
