To try and pop this lump?

137 replies

I’ve got a horrible lump on the back of my ear, obviously I can’t see it but DH said it looks like a massive zit. It’s about as big as an M&M - it’s getting painful now.

GP surgery is closed until 6th Jan. it doesn’t warrant an emergency appointment - I’ve got some sterile needles, should I just pop the fucker?

And film it and post it.

I wouldn’t be able to resist. Think of the relief ! I would pop it, then smother it with tea tree. Good luck

Yes.

astralpiano · 27/12/2022 21:16

Slimjimtobe · 27/12/2022 21:16

Yes but wash in salt water after

Stick a sterilised pin into it and squeeze gently while your DH records it for our viewing pleasure.

GracePooleslaugh · 27/12/2022 21:31

That is a thing of beauty

MrsMontyD · 27/12/2022 21:34
