Look what I just pulled out of my chin

[QuestionableMouse]

I've had a nasty sore spot brewing for a couple of weeks now. It didn't respond to any spot treatments so I've been using heat on it. Anyway tonight I saw a little dark line in it and went fishing with a sterile needle. This is the result... It's almost an inch long when stretched!

Spot feels so much better already!

It's even more satisfying when blood and pus come out.

Wow that looks like a pube.

Awesome. I've got a 'blackhead' on my -ahem- bikini area. I know it's an ingrowing hair festering under there. One day I'll be at it with the tweezers. I'll post it here when I do

It's beautiful, OP.

Have you considered submitting to the National Portrait Gallery?

Ugh that's quite the hair 😂. I'm at the age where I get regular witchy hairs on my chin. 😳 I can't stand them and carry around emergency tweezers.

I have friends who don't care about them and sometimes I can spot a long curly hair sticking out their chins. I really really want to lean over and whip them out but I don't think it's sociably acceptable.

Someone sound the klaxon

Ahhh, I feel satisfied just looking at that.

Brilliant! A few months ago I had a spot on the side of my nose and squeezed it and a hair came out! It was awesome.

Velour

ahh thats one to remember.

I love a good spot that you just keep remembering fondly

This thread is so satisfyingly gross. I completely get it.

Thanks for sharing

The spot had gone down so much. I'm not surprised with that monster in it!

God I love Mumsnet!

I feel all tingly and satisfied now just reading this thread. Thanks OP 😁

Well, I hope you didn't damage your pliers pulling that out?

Congratulations OP!

Beautiful!

I miss getting things like this myself. My body seems to have become infinitely boring since I turned 30

Gross. The lot of you.

That's magnificent. Well done OP - I have enough skin issues that I'm sort of glad it wasn't mine but also jealous that nothing I've had recently was so productive.

I used to have a little rough thing on my shoulder, couldn't ever see it but would feel it and wonder what it was. One day I got a mirror set up and some tweezers and pulled out a spikey hair, it was straight and very stiff. I often check but it never grew another one. (Am now feeling my shoulder thoroughly).

I think there might be something else in there. Will have a good look later when I get home.

Incredible

It could be the gift that keeps on giving! Just don't scar yourself!!!

Got a bit more pus and I think there might be a bit more hair in there.
