Gross - but... To think there is nothing more satisfying than squeezing and open pore

And something comes out !
There was thread on chin hair similar to this theme but in my view this beats chin hair! Sad but true!

I was hoping for a pint of cottage cheese under that plug, to be honest oh god that made me giggle.

Ive always stayed away from the Sporn threads, unwilling to admit my predilection for all things disgusting.. but now I've popped... I can't stop.

I think they stopped the video too soon. It looked to me like there was still plenty to be excavated.

I had a huge hard sore lump on my chin yesterday that was getting bigger and bigger to the point where my chin looked wonky.

Had a poke and a squeeze and saw a tiny little bit of white trying to worm out so gave it a good old go and with an audible pop a huge amount of pus splattered across the bathroom. Was. Fucking. Awesome.

There used to be a channel on YouTube called SmoothAberration or something like that. Hundreds of close-up videos of blackheads and wonderful I growing hairs. When I found the channel I spent weeks watching them all. Don't know where it's disappeared to now.

Were we all repeatedly told as we were growing up that we Must Not Squeeze Spots for fear of all sorts of terrible consequences? I could never get it. They get better much more quickly once all the gunk and whatever caused the spot in the first place has been squeezed out, and why would it conceivably be healthier to absorb that stuff back into your system? People always threaten dreadful scarring, but after a lifetime of squeezing I can honestly say that I have not one scar.

It seems to me that nature must intend that they be squeezed or otherwise dealt with - in the wild people would probably have knocked the top off spots accidentally and freed the pus that way, or it would happen when the itchy ones got scratched. And above all, if nature didn't intend them to be squeezed, why make it so satisfying?

Maybe enjoying spot squeezing gives us an evolutionary advantage then ICI???

treaclesoda · 09/03/2014 20:05

its an hour and a half since I watched that video and every time I blink I can just see masses of grey sticky hard raggedy 'stuff'. Someone help me, please!

Ah, Mirror spatter - Love it. My husband gets those. I get soap worms where I had my ears pierced. They fill up around once a month with oozing white goodness.

Koothrapanties · 09/03/2014 20:17

Ooh i love the ear piercing ones. Sometimes mine just feels a little swollen and I just have to gently touch it and it pops. Lovely lovely.

Sorry if tmi (probably not as this is a sport thread) but I sometimes get ingrown hairs in the pubular region, and sometimes they come out all in one bit. There is like a hard lump bit with a hair sticking out of it and it all comes out together. So so satisfying.

sugar4eva · 09/03/2014 22:10

Am to try squeeze my ears! Never thought of that ! :) ! I am totally fascinated by pores! I wish I had a re occurring spot as someone described! A lot of folk think it gross so I'm glad I started this thread!

I agree especially when they give a satisfying pop

even more enjoyable if they are someone else's

I used to work as a beauty therapist I have many wonderful memories of pimple popping

indigo18 · 09/03/2014 23:03

OMG I may not sleep tonight. WHY did I watch that!!!
