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.
Husband has had a lump on the side of his face months and he finally let me at it with my extraction kit. This is only a tiny fraction of what came out, I wish I'd set the camera up to video!
