Giant Spot - help needed

67 replies

PrivateBenjamin · 01/02/2012 18:17

I get spots quite often (adult acne), however i currently have the mother of all spots on my chin. I don't want to pop it because a. i don't like popping spots in case of scarring and b. it isn't one big head. I have studied it closely and it seems to be about 5 heads all joined into one mega spot (sorry - it's disgusting).

It has been brewing for about a week and now it is huge, green and has its own heartbeat.

Is there anything commonly found in a kitchen or bathroom that i can put on it to make it disappear? I would like to leave the house at some point and i feel like Baldrick from Blackadder with this on my face.

Help!

Liz Earle do a fab essential oil thing that nukes spots!

How come no one has posted a video yet? I live for those links. and DH is not here now so I can watch without him pulling a disgusted face.

Sudocrem. Ace for spots.

I'm less interested in pus porn now I've discovered ear wax videos.

I can run but i can't hide.

I have just hot flannelled it. Now the whole area is red, probably shouldn't have used water straight out of the kettle. I will TCP it tonight, see what the situation is tomorrow and then report back.

Oh, Private - please take a picture I want to see the green bits.

Nagoo · 01/02/2012 20:56

DAY ONE PHOTO.

don't forget the picture you amateur! Grin

My favourite Youtube video is an earwax one.

I have now bought a huge specialised ear syringing syringe and next time mine are blocked I'm blasting it out myself - and filming it. I get solid lumps of wax the size of marbles.

Sqeeze the green gunk out then put perfume in the hole - it will sting like hell but dry it out. As a bonus, you and the crater will smell nice Grin.

Panzee that sounds hardcore. Is that the one where the woman gets a headlamp and a tiny hook. Envy

BoffinMum · 01/02/2012 20:59

Put toothpaste on it overnight, and leave the bugger alone (sorry, pus porn fans)

Nagoo · 01/02/2012 21:03

Oh god, I'm hooked into 'ear syringe' reviews on Amazon....

Henwelly · 01/02/2012 21:05

oooooh ear wax videos

brighthair · 01/02/2012 21:10

Try "tonsil stone videos" GrinWink

VivaLeBeaver · 01/02/2012 21:18

I take your tonsil stone videos and raise you bot fly removal videos.

VivaLeBeaver · 01/02/2012 21:19

Nagoo, I got my ear syringe from amazon. I'm going to get a scope as well so I can see deep inside.

RollerCola · 01/02/2012 21:25

VLB omg the bot flys Grin

nannyj · 01/02/2012 21:28

Mash a soluble aspirin into a paste then put it on the spot overnight. Should bring down the swelling.

Beamur · 01/02/2012 21:30

Toothpaste.
If you must squeeze, wait until it isn't hurting as much, then wrap the ends of your fingers in tissue so they don't dig into to your skin. Then put on TCP.
My ex (who would have loved this thread and pus porn) always said you have to squeeze a spot until clear liquid comes out, only then you know you've got it all (boak).

SpottyStratton · 01/02/2012 21:31

Luffly, 2 boils in one night. Happy sporning indeed. Grin

VivaLeBeaver · 01/02/2012 21:45

Can't link as on iPad but check out worm inside your face video on YouTube. Never been sure if it's real or not.

DownyEmerald · 01/02/2012 21:52

Sali whatserface on Guardian says Optrex.

OMG, thank you, you beautiful people!
Off to peruse earwax - DD2 aged 6 has loads of this which I love jojoba-oiling, tonsil stones, which I've had on and off since the year dot and only found out what they were 6 mths ago, and raise you bilharzia treatment on the bot fly removal.
LOVING THIS!
