What's your best sporn story?

How excited do you get when you see KLAXON? Sometimes you get a few in a week.. sometimes there is a drought! So in order to keep us sporners truly satisfied can we do our ultimate ultimate sporn stories? I've just shared my blackhead story on another thread (TAAT guilt) but this is my best..if it looks familiar its because I have posted it under a different name.
Many years ago I became aware of a very sharp pain on my left side. Between the hip and the buttock. Upon examination there wasn't much to be seen other than something that looked like a teeny pimple. I pierced the top with a sterile needle and nothing happened. Owing to the position of the 'pimple' I had to grab my flesh to bring it to a better viewing position.. well.. as I did that the pressure I applied caused a jet of pus to spew three feet across the room. In an arc! I've never seen the like. After evacuating the pimple I took a hot bath and tried again. Lo and behold it happened again to a lesser extent.
That was it. The best half hour of my life. I've never had anything like it since.
Over to you. .

I forgot the one I have in a rather delicate area. It comes and goes. A few times there's been a bit of a crunch when I've squeezed and gunk has come out but I know it's not done. It's decided to refill again, so I've had a bit of a prod but need to let it brew for a bit I think.

DP has one at the top of his bum. It refills and pops spontaneously. I wish he'd let me have a go but I think he'd be horrified!

I have read this thread and now I am going back to page 1 to read it all over again.

Place marking as neeeeeeeeed to see photos but can't as on bastarding app!

sweetkitty · 15/02/2015 23:02

I had one of those lip spots this morning, I could see the hello but after an initial squeeze nothing much, still could see it so spent about 5 mins manipulating it, result mirror hitter, not as good as the one during the week but quite a good one.

VivaLeBeaver · 15/02/2015 22:21

Yes it squealed. But it was a new piggy which squealed when picked up anyway. Better that than dying from a bad abcess I guess.

Vet only suggested a GA in the first place as she reckoned he wouldn't stay still for her to be able to do it without. I suggested we wrapped him in a towel and job done. It was literally only piercing the skin then squeezing.

I have a cyst on my neck which dh frequently slices open with a knife. If I can cope with it I reckon a guinea pig can.

I took a little break from MN for a few weeks and upon my return this thread was waiting for me. I take this as a sign - I home again.
I've tried to explain to DH what sporn is but he just looked mildly disgusted. He did let me get a rather large blackhead on his thigh last night though.

SauvignonBlanche · 15/02/2015 21:24

This has distracted me for far too long!

VixxFace · 15/02/2015 20:59

Yes! Did it squeal?

honeysucklejasmine · 15/02/2015 20:26

Oh my gosh, I think I have hidradenitis suppurativa! A mild case for sure, but I constantly have boils, blackheads and the more solid white pus variety spots on my upper thighs and armpits. Must get some antiseptic wash!

The ones that shoot across the bathroom are the best.

VivaLeBeaver · 15/02/2015 15:48

Seriously?

VixxFace · 15/02/2015 13:07

Viva thats animal abuse.

GoofyIsACow · 15/02/2015 12:16

My DM has an amzing one on her back, but i am not allowed anywhere near it any more due to me mag sulphing it but then not being able to remove it (it's really deep) it swelled up and became really really sore. one day in the shower she 'squeezed what looked like cream cheese' out of it... I was furious she got my pay off.

I used to have a piercing at the top of my ear, it has a black shadow under the skin where it used to be, it isn't a head, just a black mark, should i attempt to squeeze?

HellKitty · 15/02/2015 08:32

Ask the chemist, it's behind the counter and a little pot of thick white goo, pretty cheap.

Penguiney · 15/02/2015 07:39

Where can one aquire mag sulph? It feels like something I need to have stocked in the cupboard.

HellKitty · 15/02/2015 07:28

Mag Sulph is amazing! I had a big old boil under the skin on my chin years ago, no head just a sore lump. I put a bit of mag Sulph on, then a plaster, within 10 minutes I felt it burst then hot boil juice was dripping down my neck. Happy days.

My ingrowing Fanjo hair came to nowt. It was about 1cm long but nothing pus wise to show for it :(

rootypig · 14/02/2015 22:29

I like people sporn but not animal sporn. Why is this? does this imply a sexual element I suspect so. am I a particular pervert?

FlossieTreadlight · 14/02/2015 22:28

Thank you. Just thank you.

Mag sulph to drAw it out!

Ok, Sporners...Need your advice! I bit off a hangnail last week and now the tip of my finger is swollen, throbbing and fifty shades of red, pink and purple. What should I do ? It hurts so much, I can feel it in my shoulder. I really would rather not go to the Dr as you have to wait FOREVER.

AnneofCheese · 14/02/2015 21:35

This thread is giving me LIFE. It is amazing. I have never had pus shoot across the room though, is my immune system broken?

Btw, Caitlin Moran is a sporner. She described a blackhead in her armpit as 'it slid out like a bolt out of a door'

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 14/02/2015 19:06

Our lovely poodle got very ill, lethargic and wobbly,but christmas so no vet. Then Boxing Day she was better, but stinky, so quick bath ( Australia, so not cold) I was drying her and a fucking huge tic dropped out of her front, followed by rivers of thick yellow pus.
I also used to sit running my fingers through her wool, when one night I came across a hard lump, like a grain of rice. It was a blackhead bigger than a match head which popped right out, totally black, into a hard ball about the size of my little fingernail. That dog was gold.

VivaLeBeaver · 14/02/2015 08:16

My best one is a guinea pig abcess. Piggy had a huge lump under his neck. Went to the vet who said it was an abcess and reckoned piggy needed an op under GA as hard to get to.

I said bollocks to that thinking of the cost and told vet to slice it while I pinned the piggy down. She got a scapel and made an inch long incision in the lump and then squeezed and squeezed and loads of thick, white, smelly gunk came out.

I was sent home with instructions to keep picking the scap open and squeezing till it stopped refilling. Took a week of alternate day squeezing. Dd used to hold the piggy and I used to be chief squeezer.
