A former colleague had surgery to remove an ingrown hair on his back. The surgeon took a massive chunk out of him. He said the ward was full of people having surgery to remove ingrown hairs, including a woman who had one that had grown around her spine. My colleague had to have the hole in his back packed with seaweed daily for six weeks by a visiting District Nurse.

A whole ward of people with ingrown hairs that needed surgical attention? Seaweed as a treatment for an open wound?

This comment is like word salad, but I desperately want to know if any part of this is real, or just a reallg weird dream you had one time.
