to put Bonjela on my fanjo? *warning - bit sporny*

in order to numb this (small pea sized) lump enough to lance and squeeze the bugger!

Tried yesterday and it was so eye wateringly painful but i only got a bit of clear watery stuff out. There's obviously more to it.

I think it's a great idea! Bonjela's ok in the mouth so it'll be ok down there yes?

Well that's as much action as I'm going to get tonight, so with that I wish you a very good night Grin

Am I the only one who has an ad for Vagisil scrolling across the screen?

And Gin how you can eat popcorn at a time like this is beyond me

want to know if upper thigh is a euphemism

MooseHunter · 02/05/2017 21:11

OP, I am disappointed for us but delighted for you. Sounds like a risky but ultimately successful mission

I occasionally get tiny hard whiteheads on my flaps that won't move even with intense squeezing (ouch) but eventually they shell out all on their own and it's AMAZING.

WashBasketsAreUs · 02/05/2017 21:12

Nope I had the ad as well, thought it was fortuitous timing!

Ohyesiam · 02/05/2017 21:13

Op? I'm a bit worried.....
Are you reading me?

picklemepopcorn · 02/05/2017 21:13

I can sleep now, thank goodness!

Julia001 · 02/05/2017 21:19

You lot know far too much about numbing the fanjo ! :-)

IfYouGoDownToTheWoodsToday · 02/05/2017 21:23

Glad you've survived OP, we were worried about you Grin

2017SoFarSoGood · 02/05/2017 21:26

thank goodness an update. Keep us posted, needless to say.

So once many moons ago I had a lumpy spottish thing behind my ear. Newly married so obviously could not ask DH to take a look. No amount of bending my earlobe allowed me to see what it was. Weeks it was there. I kept poking and prodding every few days, to no avail.

One day I was in the office - a big 'pool' like office at the time - using the copier and just gently touched the area. MY GOD IT EXPLODED. Literally. Poured pus down my neck and would not stop. it was horrendous. I had to kind of sidle sideways back to my office and hide behind the door while mopping it up. There must have been a huge hole left, but sadly I could not see it. What a waste to have been unable to see a before and after of that one Sad

I've got a marmite ad running across my screen....either love it or hate it Grin

JanetBrown2015 · 02/05/2017 21:32

I thought this was going to be a sex thread!

LuluJakey1 · 02/05/2017 21:33

Most disappointing. I was on the edge of my seat. Typical love sporn thread- they never lve up to their promise. And no photos.
Reddit R/Popping is the best.

ILikeBeansWithKetchup · 02/05/2017 21:33

I definitely think Marmite would sting.

You lot are so bloody funny GrinGrin Thanks for this thread. Sorry to keep you all hanging.

I was hoping for a better outcome tbh. The one i had last year was smaller, (less than a normal pea)(more petit pois) but gave out a great deal of pale green gunk and was soooooo satsfying.

Tonights was less exciting. The spot is looking - weirdly jelly like. As if the bonjela has melted the skin a bit! The lump is half under the skin and about half the size it was. So - frozen pea sized. But flattened Grin

And we're thinking of moving to Wales.

Good work, OP.

WinBigly · 02/05/2017 21:45

Ah, nice work OP shame it wasn't as pus-tastic as you hoped for (but tomorrow is another day).

One of my ex-boyfriends had a wonderful sporning tale courtesy of his Mum. When he was about 8 he had a massive carbuncle on his knee; it was pushed and prodded to no avail.

One morning he felt it throbbing and went into his parents bedroom to ask if his Mum thought it was ready to pop. As he lifted his knee up for inspection the carbuncle exploded right in her face.

Utterly grim but also utterly splendid in its own sporny way.

faithinthesound · 02/05/2017 21:52

Your last updates, one after the other, make it sound like the fanjo business has driven you to Wales lol!!

Ooh, Where in Wales?

Walkthroughthefire · 02/05/2017 22:20

Do not Google carbuncle!
Note to self - follow advice not to Google things on a sporner thread. Dear God.Envy (not envy)

lht22 · 02/05/2017 22:28

I just got totally lost in a massive youtube sporn hole, the amount of cysts popping I've just watched is sickening and it was about 9pm the last time I looked at the clock!
This thread has been hilarious though, who'd have thought people people put Vicks nose sticks on their bits!

Madwoman5 · 02/05/2017 22:30

Try magnesium sulphate paste. It will draw out the grot usually within 24 hours. Local chemist should have a pot.

LemonsAndLollies · 02/05/2017 22:42

Am I the only one who wants to know exactly what the effect is of clitVicks?
