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. .

Ahhh these are amazing, made my night.

My two greatest sporn hits are:

I had a massive round shiny spot on my chin when a teen, it was huge! Having a good prod in front of a mirror and it popped and SPLAT all over the mirror.

The second was on holiday. I'd had a bikini wax done a few days before leaving. After a couple of days my fanjo started to really ache to the point where it hurt to lie down, so I went to inspect in the bathroom and it had swollen all around the outside and I could see yellow under the skin.
Prodded it gently and pffffft loads of yellow pus flew all over the floor and across the wall.

Oh! Remembered a massive abcess on the gum above my top front tooth. The anti-bios were working slowly and it would grow and be more and more painful, the only relief I could get was from a squeeze and a scalpel blade. Happy days!

The only thing I miss about my ex was his massive ongoing deep rooted blackhead in his ear. It was fantastic Grin

Mine are;

  1. My TB jab got bigger and bigger and after about 18 months and visits to the GP. One evening I pulled my arm around to look at the fecker in the mirror and it split open and acres of green pus oozed out. The hole was the size of a 50 p and about 1 cm deep.


  1. Grandma's ear spot. Oh Lordy! it still dream about this. Granny was a sporner, bless here and she asked me to look at a spot in her ear. It was a blackhead and it was huge. The first bit that came out was a huge hard black bit which I had to practically dig out with tweezer, the second layer was a hard white pusy one and the third was soft cream cheese pus. Oh it was marvellous and I made Granny so happy. Win win Smile


  1. Dsis has a lovely little sebaceous cyst that fills up every six months or so. Sometimes it pops explosively and sometimes it goes hard and I have to tweezer it out.


What a lovely thread.

OH MY GOD! The ten verruca pore strip! You lucky woman. Did you gaze at it for hours?

My ex had a permanently blackheady nose and sometimes used to let me squeeze it with the round end of a kirby grip. Hundreds of thick yellow worms came out - it was. AMAZING.

I haven't had any decent sporn lately but the other day I was syringing my ears and a big black lump of wax came out. I still can't believe it really happened to me.

I was at a festival and after 3 days of washing only with baby wipes I realised u had a lump on my fanjo - blocked duct/hair follicle that can only be achieved through not washing properly.

I sat in my tent with my pants down (hoping no one would poke their head in) and gave it a good squeeze. It exploded green/yellow pus. Amazing...

Mama I still think fondly about that verucca strip...it was amazing, like I'd just cleansed my soul or something. Just beautiful. I even ran my finger along and the roots were all hard and bumpy.

I have posted this before so apologies if this is repeat sporn for any of you.

This is what I coughed up after a severe bout of tonsillitis last year. It is tonsil slough / gunk / phlegm and tonsil stones. I cannot tell you how much better I felt after coughing the fucker up. I was mesmerised by it. Stared at it for a good six or seven minutes.

Hair grip for scale. Enjoy, fellow sporn freaks.

What's your best sporn story?

I once had a hard lump on my labia majora. It was really hard and took ages to squeeze but it did eventually pop and shoot out a hard lump of pus. I now have another little hard lump on the other side. It's been there for years. Sometimes it's a bit bigger, sometimes it's a bit smaller and I cannot get it to do anything and it really bloody hurts if I squeeze it too hard. It's a mystery.

I also have a tiny little lump on my nipple, that looks just like all the other little lumps around a nipple, that every so often curls out a lovely little white worm. It's done it since I was a teenager. I don't think it can be pus. It's more like a faulty milk duct or something.

Oh just remembered my teenage sisters whitlow that spread to whole tip of her thumb. It was so bad she couldnt bend her thumb. I told her to lance it. So I got her a sterile needle and a bowl of salt water. The gunk that came out of it. Little cow wouldnt let me do it Angry

Worst bit is, there was still more gunk, she told me she stuck a pin into various points on her thumb even in the pad of her finger and squeeze and all the holes oozed with pus. Gutted I werent there.

She also had a Meibomian cyst, apparently the gunk was so thick it was like oil, they had to cut out the cyst.

I had what I think was an infected tear duct. Basically I had a pea-sized lump in the corner of my eye, next to my nose which brewed nicely for around a month.

Gradually it developed a head, and one day I squeezed it in front of the mirror. Well, it was just fantastic. It burst perfectly - an initial "pft" noise accompanied by the positive tactile feedback of pressure being released. A greasy clump of pus shot onto the mirror, and stuck to it - with a small trail of yellow clear fatty liquid slowly dribbling down the glass from where it clung.

Then I squeezed the remaining pus and oily grease from my eye and it turned to bright red blood which oozed profusely, which left me looking like i was weeping blood like some kind of fucked-up religious artefact.

It was the best day ever.

I get the occasional boil on the underside of my bum. I have to lance it and it just gushes with watery blood to the point I've stained underwear when doing it.

I get boils in my inner thigh, unfortunately I never manage to wait until they are fully ripe. But when I do, man, it hurts so much, but then the thick pus oozes out it is the best feeling ever. They don't make a sound, but I FEEL them popping.
I have a spot/cyst on my cheek. It started last winter, I spent a happy week squeezing it and yards and yards of stringy, coiling, white stuff came out. Then it cleared and it is slowly refilling. Give it a few more weeks.
Another time I had a spot on my head, my sister was cutting my hair and she said you have a spot, I MUST attend to it. So she squeezed it. She kept making those noises like she was sacrificing herself but I knew she was LOVING IT and I was a bit pissed because really, it was my spot.
I woke up with a spot this morning, the first in months. It really hurts so hopefully it will be a good harvest.

I reread the verucca story a few times!

Being a sporner can be bad, I actively look for suspicious lumps and bumps to squeeze and have left scars over myself Sad

Normally before my period I get loads of spots on my chin, but this month has been a real let down.

I remember 2 I had on my armpits. One was right in the crease, huge, hurt so much to squeeze but I went for it and it made a pfft noise.

Other one was a small bump, really hurt, I squeezed it and it just exploded.

The best spots are ear spots because you can really hear them go.
