Yup they cut a piece of meat about the size of my thumb out of me. Quite unpleasant, especially 4 days later when the Dermabond they used to close it up let loose and they told me they weren't going to close it back up. But 4 weeks later and the wound is almost closed up. The healing capability of the human body never ceases to amaze me. Worst part of the ordeal was when I was laying on the surgery table and the nurse pops over into view and shows me the chunk they cut out of me while asking, "You want to see it?" Um, shouldn't you wait for the answer!!!!!!!

Long story short, I now will not ride unless I have proper cycling shorts. The cyst developed from riding in gym shorts and underwear instead of proper gear, even though I promptly showered after each ride. Lesson learned.
