My 'D'H has a beauty on the back of his neck. I have explained how happy it would make me to squeeze gently tend it and how much better he would feel. I am desperate to use the milk bottle technique.

He will not let me touch it. AIBU to be in a huff?

Do you let him have yours?

LittleMissFlustered · 09/10/2011 17:55

What a wasted opportunity! Have some Wine to cheer you up?

The best thing I ever did was marrying a man who shares my love of all things pus and spot related :o

If it's a proper boil, it may well refill overnight, especially if encouraged by additional basting. I had to have mine re-birthed a couple of times, professionally! First go produced copious pustard, next was yellow sausagemeat. So there's still hope of more action. Stay strong.

BagofHolly Thank you, you have given me hope GrinGrinGrin

You know when you really really regret opening and reading a thread? Well that's me right now.

If I don't projectile vomit in the next ten seconds it'll be a bloody miracle.

Ds has been patiently waiting for a splinter to work to the skins surface for months. He showed me it had crowned yesterday and he let me sqeeeeeeeze it all the way up and pull it out with tweezers, it was a gorse thorn tip so just kept coming.

It was brilliant

PigletJohn · 09/10/2011 18:44

You are all even more revolting than I thought

Hungrydragon · 09/10/2011 19:06

Yet you return Grin

Andrewofgg · 09/10/2011 19:38

Put this in Classic! Yes,PigletJohn it is revolting and yes Hungrydragon he returns and so do I - we are all revolting but this is a corker!

TeapotsInJune · 09/10/2011 19:39

Grin

Dh had a splinter on his back he resisted me getting out until it was so infected I would have sent him the the GP if he'd have gone. He woke me up in the middle of the night to "please do something about it NOW".

I rubbed very gingerly round the very outer edge of the redness (about 2" in diameter by this point) and he nearly hit the ceiling as I was apparently "squeezing too hard". He lets me do them sooner now. Grin It was a good one to do, when he let me at it. Must suggest the milk bottle one next time. Grin

Hungrydragon · 09/10/2011 20:16

DeWe I am really lucky that ds is so tough, he's only 8, we winced but didn't flinch or make me stop. Don't tell your dh that though Grin

SnapesMistress · 09/10/2011 20:23

DP suffers my attempts on his back cos he knows I'll just hold him down and do them if he doesn't. :o

ineedabodytransplant · 09/10/2011 22:05

Typical...never knew this sort of thing appealed to anyoneShock

I had a humungous boil on my chest a few weeks ago and would have paid someone to squeeze the damn thing.

When it decided to go it oozed gallons(well seemed like it)

Now all that remains is a circular patch and smaller lump on my chest where no hairs grow..Hmm

ineedabodytransplant · 09/10/2011 22:05

Oh and I don't have an OH anymore to squeeze anything at all..Smile

chocolateyclur · 09/10/2011 22:18

So glad I married a man who will let me at his back on a nightly basis.

So gutted that he only gets blackheads and the occasional yellowy oozy thing.

PigletJohn · 09/10/2011 22:21

vile women Confused

bonkers20 · 09/10/2011 22:23

GROSS! I am someone who likes to pick my own spots and scabs but never ever would I touch my DHs. Puss........ewwwwwww.

MarginallyNarkyPuffin · 09/10/2011 22:25

Are you all mank-free now BagofHolly?

ElectricSoftParade · 09/10/2011 22:35

Oh, we are not vile piglet. We are just interested in the strange ways of the human body.

Who could not be interested in PUS?

Cyst. Not for the delicate ones.

The second video on the page is cutting to remove the sac, so may not be to the tastes of some of you squeezers.

PigletJohn · 09/10/2011 22:59

my god, you people even have your own porn sites?
