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 dh lets me attack his back spots regularly. I have to pass him the contents (usually hard solid pus) so he can inspect it before disposal. That's the deal.

He gets the best ones in the crease between his nose and cheek. They are multi chambered so I usually get about three delicious squeezes per pimple.

Ooh, the best one I had was when I was a teenager.In hindsight it was probably a boil. It started off as just a black dot on my leg and my leg went bigger and bigger until it was the shape and size of a rugby ball. I was prescribed antibiotics and had to keep it wrapped under bandages. when I had a hot bath one evening it burst.Streams of greeny black pus oozed out - it wouldn't stop coming.The relief was immense.

I was left with a small crater that went to the bone and to this day still have it clearly visible on my leg.

FrankelandFilly post: that liquid is the colour of evil. I wanted to see the tit and the crater left behind tho!

I just googled "carbuncle" and came across this disgusting photo. Not sure if it's real or not.

I have a spot on my head!
Very much looking forward to dealing with it.

My best ever spot was one in an intimate area. The size of a ruddy EGG I tell you. I throttled it in the shower one day and it went pfffffft into my hand. My cup ped hand runneth over.

the next best one is one in my armpit that I get every few years. It doesn't seem big but I get it from behind and pull and it explodes, leaving a lovely little hole.

I once had a spot coming up on my eyebrow, I was on holiday and a mossie decided that was the perfect place to bite.

I can tell you mosquito bite / zit combination that then gets a little infection will hit the mirror from about a metre away.

I also have a 'Bible bump', my mean GP will not drain it because he says it will just come back and will only refer for surgery if it is causing pain or trouble.

So I threatened to do it myself and he handed over sterile wipes, needles and syringes.

I was surprised he didn't offer to drain it as he really likes sticking needles in and even does an impression of an evil muppet with "mwoer " sound effects when he gets to stick a needle in. As he does steroid injections and I have arthritis he gets to do this quite a lot and he also does acupuncture

LeftMyRidingCropInTheMortuary · 19/07/2015 16:09

sashh, that's called a "ganglion". I had one on my toe once that the dr drained. Just came back tho. Tradition was to hit it with the family Bible y'see to break the sac and let it drain.

I need one of those tools that Dr Pimple Popper uses. I also need her job.

PastaPot · 19/07/2015 16:28

Oh my god I love this thread. I'm very spotty but have never had any as good as some of these!
I do remember having a blocked milk duct when breastfeeding and after massaging and squeezing for a while it came out like fluorescent green silly string. I actually measured it and it was 43cm long.

I currently have an ingrown hair on my shin, it's been there for years and there's a lump but no orifice or point of entry. The surface is shiny where the bugger keeps trying to heal itself before I've dug it out. Any ideas how to get it to the surface?

FenellaFellorick · 19/07/2015 16:29

a sterilised needle or a scalpel?

sashh · 19/07/2015 17:11

That's why my Dr won't drain it, because it will come back, quite satisfying doing it yourself though.

I didn't think to film mine.

Ohwhatfuckeryisthis · 19/07/2015 17:17

Reputable-you win the thread. and our hearts
Anyone had a fungal nail infection go wrong? I did, was great. So fni destroyed my nail-went soft and thick and gross, then my toe started getting sore, but plugged on through the day hobbling about. Got in and had to get changed to go out. My toe was all swollen and nail kind of pushed out. It had got to the crumbly stage, so I gave it a bit of a pick. Bam, shiteloads of yellowy goo shot out-God knows where it was hiding in my middle toe. I actually saw the nail go back down.
I've got another nail one in a bit.

I've just read this thread whilst eating cake and drinking a brew, I must be a catch disgusting specimen!
No massively exciting ones for me, although the inside upper thigh cyst I had was spectacular, was the gift that kept on giving. Not filled up for a while now so here's to hoping I'm due another bloody pus fountain!!

dontcallmelen · 19/07/2015 21:05

I have a repeater in my armpit, it keeps on giving when you squeeze whitish stringy stuff,.then shedloads of green gunk, which stinks to high heaven, then get left with hole & every few months, it starts to get bigger, so i save it until, feeling a bit down have a lovely squeeze fest Grin

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 19/07/2015 21:22

I've just been chatting to DH about abscesses (as you do). He's a dentist so has seen some whoppers

But - he was telling me that unless the abscess is pointing (I think means has a head) and is in a very specific sort of way (not sure about this - couldn't quite understand), you can't actually burst it! As apparently - if you do - you could "really fuck up someone's face" presumably more medical type explanation for the notes

So he's seen some absolute belters that he's just had to give people antibiotics for (he's now shouting this from the shower and saying something else about treatment options that I can't follow)

I must say, I am quite impressed with his self control. I don't think I'd be able to resist

Gobbolinothewitchscat · 19/07/2015 21:29

Sorry - just been asked to clarify urgently that antibiotics are not routinely prescribed for all dental abcesses - only in very specific circumstances Blush

However, it is correct that dentists can't go round randomly jabbing patients in the mouth or surreptitiously taking photos to show their wife

WanderWomble · 19/07/2015 23:16

Diabetic lancets are fab for lancing spots. They're sterile and you can't go too deep like you could with a sewing needle.

NeedsAsockamnesty · 19/07/2015 23:28

I've just accidently filed my own bastard toe nail entirely off because I was distracted by the classics thread, didn't notice until I put the treatment stuff on it and WOW it fucking hurts.

Oh forgot to mention earlier one of my teenagers actually charges me to squeeze his spots (£2.50 per spot)

Rainicorn · 19/07/2015 23:48

I once had a spot in the crease where my ear lobe meets my head. Hurt like nobody's business. I pulled my love up and it shot straight into the mirror. Marvellous!

DH also gas a sebaceous cyst on his neck. I get to squeeze that bad boy every few months.

Saw this on Buzzfeed. It is 17 cysts being popped. You need a strong stomach, I couldn't make it past #1

Fucking hell, you lot are disgusting! Awesome thread, thanks so much, marking place to enjoy later.

I bloody love MN.

cocobean2805 · 20/07/2015 04:22

My DH came to find me earlier with what we thought was a blackhead on his arm, imagine my disappointment when it was just a blood blister Sad I'm fairly confident it might develop further as I have a sneaking suspicion its an ingrown hair. Will keep you posted.

toastyarmadillo · 20/07/2015 06:01

I loose hours watching sporn on youtube, awesome stuff.
I have loads of blackheads on the side of my face, sort of top of cheek bone areas, which depressingly I can't quite see well enough to get at, dh isn't a sporner but he will let me zap his lovely ingrown hairs and dd 16 gets really impressive black heads but won't let me at them very often ????
