I have been dabbing tea tree oil on the area after long rides as a preventative measure. Havent had anything since. A small 10ml bottle was about $4 from woolies. Best buy ever.
PS - i dont like the smell of the oil much tho. But oh well.

Mine rarely seem to pop, just retreat inwards. Anybody got a vid of the right technique?

barefoot wrote:1) Give the affected area a bit of a hot scrub with a loofah and soap. My theory is that this breaks the skin slightly - not so that it's a bloody weeping mess, but enough for part 2 to be effective. Pop (or de-head) them if they're mature enough.
2) Apply tea tree ointment. I've never tried the oil neat, I just get the ointment.
That's usually enough to make them disappear.
I get lots of them - no doubt something to do with me commuting 5days/week in boxer shorts. As long as I hit them early, they rarely get too big and angry. But when they do... lots of poking and prodding (and watering eyes), combined with lots of tea tree oil ointment.

I had them probably half a dozen times when I was racing and when I did a all but 2000km charity ride and was much better after
I popped them and if they wouldn't burst while squeasing, then I would drag out a needle and say cop that.![]()
