What's your best sporn story?

How excited do you get when you see KLAXON? Sometimes you get a few in a week.. sometimes there is a drought! So in order to keep us sporners truly satisfied can we do our ultimate ultimate sporn stories? I've just shared my blackhead story on another thread (TAAT guilt) but this is my best..if it looks familiar its because I have posted it under a different name.
Many years ago I became aware of a very sharp pain on my left side. Between the hip and the buttock. Upon examination there wasn't much to be seen other than something that looked like a teeny pimple. I pierced the top with a sterile needle and nothing happened. Owing to the position of the 'pimple' I had to grab my flesh to bring it to a better viewing position.. well.. as I did that the pressure I applied caused a jet of pus to spew three feet across the room. In an arc! I've never seen the like. After evacuating the pimple I took a hot bath and tried again. Lo and behold it happened again to a lesser extent.
That was it. The best half hour of my life. I've never had anything like it since.
Over to you. .

This thread is wonderfully satisfying Grin

My DH gets lots and lots of ingrown hairs on the backs of his thighs but he hasn't let me at them in years Sad

I've even offered what I would consider to be very tempting rewards but nope nothing I can offer seems to be worth it - so disappointing think I might have to LTB!!

Suppose I should add my own...
One day after DP had shaved I pointed out to him that he'd left a big hair in his top lip. He asked where so I pointed to it, ONLY IT WASNT A HAIR!! The blackhead was do black that I thought it was stubble. It was the biggest and nastiest balckhead I've ever seen, pure black at the top and slowly ombré-ing to yellow along the really long squirt that came out. It was so satisfying. He's never gotten another one like that Hmm

I think I would have to leave DH if he didn't let me pluck his stray hairs and pick his spots. He's terribly understanding of my obsession.

When I was a teenager I stubbed my toe going up the stairs and it hurt way more than it should've. Had a bath a bit later and prodded the toe and so much pus came out of a tiny hole near the nail, must've been a bit ingrown and I hadn't noticed.

I have a something on my back, a cyst I think just below shoulderblade but I can't see/reach it and DH isn't a committee squeezer.

DS has blackheads and will sometimes let me at them, but only sometimes. I'm just trying to teach proper technique!

XP had a lump that had been there since a boil had burst ten years ago. He let me have a go and this solid stuff came out, you could see the shape of the cavity inside, like a mold of it in pus, and then lumpy white stuff and then blood. The SMELL!

It did refill but was never that spectacular.

DS also had an ear blackhead once. I had his ear practically inside out trying to squeeze it, and when it finally went it was majestic.

You people are gross.

I do have a gross story though.

I had a spot on my bum once - I was sort of vaguely aware of it, thought it might be a new mole or something. I just ignored it for a couple of months but it stated to feel a bit painful and tight.

One day I took a shower and investigated it with my fingers a bit. I squeezed and it exploded. A proper loud pop and all the normal disgustingness came forth. I was horrified. I washed my hand under the shower, then went back for another squeeze to make sure it was empty.

It popped again. Just as loudly as the first time. Took me about another four or five squeezes before I was happy that it had all gone.

I've never before or since had anything like it.

My lovely dp let me squeeze a big spot on his back. It was a smallish white head but it was on top of a huge wide lump. The puss just kept on coming. I was squeezing for ages!
I had a small painful lump on my leg and let dp at it with some tweezers and a needle. He had a bit of a dig and said he could see a tiny hair. He finally managed to grab it with the tweezers and pulled! And pulled and pulled! It was this massive long hair that just kept coming. It was brilliant!

I had a huge spot under a pubic hair. It werent gonna go unless hair went first. Omg, the pain of pulling that hair out, I nearly cried. Spot just exploded after, that made me feel so much better.

I get pus filled lumps on my armpits and they are oh so satisfying to squeeze - the pus seems to go on forever! DP also gets some corkers on the very top if his back/bottom of his neck and I pin him down and he lets me squeeze them, they are always very satisfying!

My mum has a refilling spot on her back, that she can't quiet reach, i love squeezing it for her, unless my sister gets to it first! We are all sporners, we often have black head checks on our backs/shoulders, particularly if we are wanting to wear a vest/ swimmer in the summer. My dad thinks we are like those monkeys that PIC each other over. But we love it!

When ds was 6 he got an infected mozzie bite on his leg which few and grew until it was the size of an egg, which looked very odd on his skinny little shin. He refused to let me squeeze it as it was painful, but while cleaning it one day both heads (it had 2) broke down and a river of beige pus flowed out... and kept flowing. Had to take him to GP straight away to have it properly cleaned and packed. It left a hole in his leg, which is still there.

I've just lost nearly half an hour to this thread, but how amazing all your stories are!

My best is not mine, but DMIL's.

Apparently she was in the bath one day and noticed what can only suitably be described as a second nipple growing on her left breast. She gave it a supposedly gentle squeeze and said the arc of pus that came flying out was so forceful that it hit the tiles at the opposite side of the bathroom. Nothing has ever come back though after this original popping.

I think the love of sporn may be genetic as my Mum gets the same thrill and even has a particular pursed-lip facial expression when popping spots.

My favourite was a teenage blackhead on my nose which had an inch long firm tail attached to it (how did it fit in there??!) . Never had one as good since.

I guess I'm spoiled as I work in the medical profession so I get my fair share of pus filled joys. When I was a junior doctor I got to operate on a pilonidal sinus, which involved cutting it open and breaking up the abscess with my finger . I literally got the length of my entire index finger under the skin to break up the pockets of pus. And I was getting paid for it! :)

Oh I feel all seedy like I should be dribbling and rubbing my thighs. I LOVE spots! DP won't let me near him very often but I am allowed to clean out the ear cheese from his old piercings. He also had a massive cyst on his bum years ago not long after we started going out so he wouldn't let me look at it - then it exploded in hospital in front of the consultant and his gaggle of students. Again, I missed it. He owes me.

This should be in classics so we can add to it as time passes Grin

Mine happened on holiday; a nice big hard lump on my labia majora. On closer inspection it was a bit purple, so stabbed it with a sterilised needle from the hotel sewing kits you get, and it erupted like nothing I've ever seen. Due to its' location, it got me in the eyebrow when the bloody pus burst forth. It was truly a perfect spot; in a dodgy place, audible pop, sweet relief, and tons and tons of blood/pus. Never refilled though Sad

My first proper twat faced knob bf worked daahn pit. And oh my joy when I saw his blackhead covered back. (Best thing about him)
We went on hols a couple of years ago with bil and sil. She had a stunning whitlow-took up most of her nail. Antibiotics not kicking in, but she wanted to swim, so I selflessly volunteered to look after it. Long soak in hot water then lanced it-through the (now soft and soggy) nail. Nothing. So I gave pad of finger a gentle press, not a crack, more a thhwooft, as a bit yellow lump hit the mirror, followed by puthering yellow liquid. Oh happy day.

I had about ten veruccas on my foot for two years when I was 14. We tried verucca stuff but nothing worked so we gave up and left them . They kind of scabbed over and I just had what looked like round hard patches of skin with black shadows of dots in the middle.

One day I thought sod it, got some bazuka, squirted it on across the whole foot and left it to dry.

When I peeled it off EVERY ONE of those verucca covers came away, complete with a root and the black verucca at the end. When it was all off I held up the massive verucca skin island and admired the ten pointy verucca roots sticking up and looked at the ten lovely clean holes in my foot.

I've never had one since sadly :(

Me and my DM both love sporn. Unfortunately for us, me and my DB were acne-free free growing up so opportunities for squeezing were few and far between Envy

However I now have a fantastic spot/cyst on my fanjo. I left it for a few years until it suddenly got infected and doubled in size- the nurse at the walk-in clinic thought Christmas had come early when she got to drain the bastard. It came back and while I nearly let the doctor at it to get rid of it permanently didn't want anyone with a scalpel, needle and thread near my fanjo just yet... It's more fun to have a hot bath and squeeze all the insides out myself every 6 months Grin

I get boils quite often. Some of the best ones were after ds1 was born. I had one big one on my eyebrow, I didn't want to poke it because I didn't want to get pus near the baby but one day it had developed a scab about these of a petit pois. I raised my eyebrow and the scab cracked a bit and a green plug was attached to it. I pulled the plug out and a river of pus flowed forth. I have a gap in my eyebrow hair now.

The same month I had a few just under my armpit. I'm a bit tubby so they were not too painful and pressured so I ignored them somehow and eventually they stopped hurting. A couple of weeks later I saw a few scabs there and I picked them. I have never seen so much pus. Probably 3 tablespoons at each squeeze session and I went back several times.

Fond memories.
