Depends on your country, state, county, city, etc... Some areas have made it illegal to deny somebody (over 18) who asks for a syringe. Other areas have not passed such laws. I have used fine insulin syringes, but I am sure other syringes will do.

Just tell them you're going to drain your ear. I'm sure they get people that need STD cream and anal lube all the time, so I doubt you have a need to be embarrassed.

Thanks. I'm gonna head over to Walgreens and try and get one.

Once I drain it am I more likely to have to drain it over and over or should that area heal for a while?

Also am I more likely to get more fluid and a bigger lump if I drain it or am I more likely to get more fluid if I don't drain it?

Thanks for the help.

In Florida you can't get a syringe without a Doctor's note in Dade and Broward Counties.

I drained mine about 5 times but it kept coming back and I can't take time off training so I just accepted it.
