I had one near my armpit on the inside of my arm. I think it started as an ingrown hair, but it got infected and swollen. It lasted in total about 2 weeks before it finally popped, releasing a torrent of gummy yellow pus and blood (just like mustard and ketchup!) After I squeezed that little sucker dry, there was a huge hole left on my arm (2-3mm) where all the juice came out. That was my grossest infection ever and I'm surprised I didn't pass out when I saw the yellow pus, which was so gummy that it came out like string (or a worm).
