I have PCOS & adult acne. The spots I have now thought, aren't as much fun as the ones I used to get. They are more sore & cystic. They don't explode like when I was a teenager!

My best ever spot was when I was about 14. It was on the top of my lip. It was sore & throbbing for days. Felt like I was walking about with a marble on my face. I exercised great restraint as there was no head appearing so I left it alone to ripen but one day I gave it a little experimental squeeze. And a bit of white appeared! That meant it was time! I took a deep breath and squeezed firmly. It exploded! A huge, solid chunk of pus hit the mirror. And then again, doof, another bit of pus hit the mirror. Then, third squeeze, a final bit of white came out. Then a tiny bit of blood. The lump had totally gone. I had to lie down for an hour! Then, it was like it had never been there, face felt normal. The relief was immense.

What was your best spot?!!

My husband told me I should post mine.. A few years ago I had painful spot on a really tender part of my girl bits, each day I gave a little squeeze. But nothing.
Until one magical day when visiting the loo I squeezed and pop! I saw a little bit of pus on my fingers but not enough to match the pop.

The rest I discovered on the door frame and ceiling. I've relived that day many times, happy times! Grin

Another occasion... my father (in his 60s at the time) had a swelling in his face, it grew and grew. We started to worry if might be another tumour as he already has a benign one. So off to the doctor he went, doctor took much glee in telling him it was a a zit. Apparently when it eventually popped, it was epic.

Ohwhatthefuckeryisthis - a similar thing happened with my 2 year old DD, it began as a hard lump on her jawbone, took her to GP he didn't know what it was said it could be dental, took her to dentist, he said nothing to do with teeth. A few days later it started to go red so took her to OOH GP, he prescribed antibiotics and ibuprofen, when the ibuprofen was wearing off she would get a temp, 3 days later you could see the pus it was the size of a tennis ball, pus was about 5cms across, went straight to A&E who sent her straight to the children hospital, she was operated on at 7 pm that night, part of me would loved to have seen what came out (is that wrong?) they left a drain in for 3 days hanging out her neck and she was on IV antibiotics for 3 days and oral for a fortnight, my poor baby. Have never seen anything like it.

I've posted this one recently but a few weeks ago I wore trousers to work, which is a rare occurrence. Thoughout the day I felt a niggle on my bum and it wasn't until I got out of the car that I felt a full on pinching sensation where cheek meets leg. Asked dp to investigate and he said there was a red lump. As he was using the light from my iPhone anyway to see clearer, he filmed it as he knows I am sick in the head like that. He pinched and squeezed one handed and I wouldn't have even said it was pus, it looked like banana medicine trickled out. You can see a hole in my bum but the best part is hearing him retch in the video GrinGrin I would love to post but you can see all types of fanjo!

Don't let this thread die!!

Notasinglefuckwasgiven · 22/07/2015 07:59

DP has a promising ingrowing hair in his beard. The last one was like a green torpedo powered by yellow pus. So hoping this one ends up the same....

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 22/07/2015 08:19

My other nail one. A few years ago we went on hols with sil and bil. Sil was on ab for a sore finger. Got to hotel and she unwrapped the most glorious whitlow ive ever seen. Bil refused to look at it, soi selflessly stepped in to help. Soaked in hot water then gently squeezed pad of finger. The infection was all under her nail and had made the nail soft, so I stuck a needle into the thinnest bit. Oh my. A lump hit the mirror with an audible pop, followed by gallons of thick yellow gunk. Her finger went down like a balloon too. I lived in hope that it would return, but it didn't.

Notasinglefuckwasgiven · 22/07/2015 10:36

Yes! Met DP in town. Beard hair was MASSIVE. Quick bit of pressure and CRUNCH! A black hair caked in green hard pus followed by a spurt of yellow goo! I love that man...

girlandboy · 22/07/2015 11:05

Not quite the same (as in it isn't a spot!), but my DS delighted in showing me YouTube clips of Mangoworms.

I would really like to have a go at this.

I haven't dared click on a clip for Mangoworms in humans!

MrsReiver · 22/07/2015 11:59

I have literally just had to burst a large whitlow on my left finger, it was spectacular. On my GP's advice - love her! - I held my afflicted finger in hot hot hot salty water until it was numb and then squeezed the living daylights out of it. The pus and blood rose from my finger in tendrils, like gross seaweed. It was quite pretty actually and the relief is immense.

I am deverstated to report that the nhs will not pay for Mr lumpy to be removed so I have to remain a hunchback

Good afternoon, Sporners!

If any of you have been following my, ahem, other thread (about bacterial vaginosis called "help smelly vagina tmi") you will know I have been inserting blueberry probiotic tablets up my fanjo every night. Now, they are sticky buggers when they melt so the inevitable has happened that's right, folks , FANJO SPOT BREWING!

The best thing about a fanjo spot is that it's your delicious secret! If it's one on your face, everyone knows about it. But a fanjo spot, oooh, you can feel it when you move and even if it makes a red, swollen, scabby mess when it explodes, you don't have to walk around with an ugly face! You can pick as much as you like without having to worry about the "visible to all" consequences. And no having to whip the concealer out.

I'm single, obv, no-one sees my spotty, sweaty, smelly fanjo.

Will update in due course.

Is it wierd that I enjoy picking my cats nose with my finger nail? She gets these plugs of hard snot that when you catch the start emerge as long fingers of brown pleasure.

minouwasminou · 22/07/2015 15:26

Why did I return?

Honestly, maybe it's because I've never had many spots that I don't get this. Just amazed at the sheer size and the quantities involved... It's just never happened to me - is it a difference in skin surface bacteria or similar?

DS has been at his ear again and there's another zit/boil brewing - I might have to outsource the evacuation, now I know there are so many of you with this predilection.

BoyFromTheBigBadCity · 22/07/2015 15:47

It's only on reading threads like this I realise how lucky I am to regularly hit the mirror.

I get them in my ear lobe sometimes - they're great because you can get right behind them.

BoyFromTheBigBadCity · 22/07/2015 15:48

And I spend too long on reddit.

I have found my happy place Great thread.

Here's my best ever sporn story / picture. I've posted it on MN before. It was well received so although not technically the product of a spot, I hope you enjoy it.

The thing in the picture was the product of a very nasty bout of tonsillitis about a year ago. The tonsillitis cleared up but I still didn't feel 'right'. I was in the bathroom waiting for the bath to fill up when I felt like I needed to cough; and out came this beauty. It is a combination of tonsil stones, pus and blood. Hair pin shows scale.

After I coughed it out, I felt like a new woman. Haven't had any tonsil problems since.

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 22/07/2015 17:06

I saw your tonsil bogey on that other thread, thanks Cheesy!
Ironic that you used a hairpin to compare size as I've just learned the new trick of using that to squeeze blackheads!!!

Hairpins are so versatile.
