TL;DR - a formerly benign cyst went haywire when my immune system ramped up to fight covid. Had it lanced, then I was allergic to the antibacterial infused bandaids I bought to cover it. I'm in hell.
Ingrown hairs, boils, or cysts? Appeared after shaving, caused by chafing from wearing pads. Feel like pea sized hard lumps beneath skin. More info in comments
Stepped on a toothpick in December, urgent care got as much of it out as they could. This finally popped yesterday while I was checking on the "healed" puncture site. Sweet relief.
