She complained several days ago about "a sore mouth". She came round today after being at A&E to have it lanced and drained. She said that the Doctor told her it was the biggest he had seen and commented on the extremely pungent odour of the pus.

I swear this thing, even after draining, was FUCKING HUGE.

AIBU to end our friendship?

It would have been such a lovely day out together. Sad.

Plus she would not allow me to take photographic evidence. So Sad.

Catgirl I think I would've divorced him for that Shock

TheCunnyFunt · 22/04/2015 22:36

No Shockers, I don't think I can. That sounds like an excellent career. You could do freelance (geddit?) work Grin

The pimple on my minge. The squeezing session... Oh, the joy. Highlight of easter holiday.

Icimoi · 22/04/2015 22:45

RedChecked, what you do is bop DH over the head with the bible and works of Shakespeare. Then, while he's suitably comatose, you set to and squeeze that eyebrow cyst till it can be squeezed no more. Repeat as necessary.

Your friend is an entitled twatbadger. Angry
(Just wanted to use the ole MN favourite 'entitled')

DH had cyst on his back. All inflamed and we were on a day out. It became excruciatingly painful and in a carpark by the seaside he asked me to take a look.
Thank God I was wearing a cagoul! I lifted his shirt and the brush of cotton over the surface caused a violent, copious and pungent explosion. There was 30 seconds of stunned silence, then wretching. I felt so sorry for whoever was emptying the car park bins that day. Wads of pus stained tissue and a stinking soiled pac-a-Mac.

Ooh - I wish I'd been there!

Cluesue · 22/04/2015 23:17

I have a sinus thingy In my ear that kept causing abscesses on the side of my face,dr drained it once by mashing my face with his hands,once with needles(hurt a smidge!!!) and once I was so desperate not to have it lanced that I mashed it myself,oh the relief I felt when it burst,ran downstairs to show mum and sis and they were shrieking about how disgusting it was,when I looked it was pea green in colour,very gross,but I really didn't give a fig as the relief was so immense

RedCheckedTablecloth · 22/04/2015 23:53

Icimoi

Great advice. He is snoozing on the sofa right now.

Should I remove his glasses first?

Fatmomma99 · 23/04/2015 00:04

My DD is now a teenager. I'm not allowed to squeeze her spots.

Can I ring Childline?

I find this OUTRAGEOUS

p.s. Her father has extreme puss-i-ness and cysts and boils... all of which I very satisfactorily squeeze (with great results. I sometimes have to duck to avoid the puss!)

I am hoping DD inherits!

DisgraceToTheYChromosome · 23/04/2015 00:04

I feel your pain. DD has a massive cyst in a place I Simply Must Not Look.

However, I recommended mag sulph and the resulting overnight explosion was, according to DW, a thing of horror beauty.

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 23/04/2015 00:05

Oh ladies! If you require a lift go onto u tube and google Karen's exploding spot

It's porn I tell you porn.

My dh had a huge huge abscess on his leg. He let me loose. It was fantastic and at the end there were 3 long bad hairs that had to be plucked out. All gooey. Was ace.

Op your friend is a cow!

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 23/04/2015 00:08

When my dss were teenagers they would flash yellow corkers at me and run away!

I once crept into ds 2s bedroom while he slept and popped one. He sprang awake and called me seriously wierd. Bloody cheek.

VivaLeBeaver · 23/04/2015 00:11

I had to remove an abdominal drain from someone at work today. It's like the best ingrowing hair removal ever with added gunk!

TheCunnyFunt · 23/04/2015 00:11

Karens is good but

Lemondrizzletwunt · 23/04/2015 00:16

Alchemist you need to think laterally.

You've said she's on AB for the infection, which probably means she can't drink, so ply her with wine, wait until she is suitably incapacitated anaesthetised and then photograph the abcessy glory for us Grin

Rookie.

RedCheckedTablecloth · 23/04/2015 00:21

Cunny

That was a cross between childbirth and milking a cow!

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 23/04/2015 00:21

cunny I actually poured a glass of wine to watch that. Amazing entertainment at a family gathering. Grin

Pyjamaschocolateandwine · 23/04/2015 00:37

Thank you for all the links. Truly satisfying.

BoyFromTheBigBadCity · 23/04/2015 00:50

The blackhead man on buzzfeed has loads of other videos as well. Amazing. You can buy the tools on ebay.

FenellaFellorick · 23/04/2015 07:36

I love you all.

Grin

My son had a tonsil stone. He saved it for me to look at.

I raised him right.

I mean, ok, he thinks I'm a freak but he still saved it.

He's a good un.

He'll be ready to marry off in about 10 years if anyone wants to put their name down Grin

MonstrousRatbag · 23/04/2015 15:02

I can recommend reddit's r/popping. Hours of happy fun.

SecondMrsAshwell · 23/04/2015 17:49

Oh my, that was the gift that kept on giving. Couldn't watch it all - no time. Was he just empty skin at the end, all popped out?

Witchofthenorth · 23/04/2015 18:05

That video of the guys mahoosive pluke on his back could be one of the most beautiful things I have ever watched. Grin
