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!

RE: bilharzia, it was my 25yr old bf at the time that had it after a trip to Malawi. He felt it was the closest a man could come to giving birth. Poor deluded soul!

Pop gently, carefully and lovingly. Then update in vast, vast detail with your best words.

Please.

Oh cripes, I need an ear wax hook. A cotton bud just isn't going to do anything after seeing that!

Style and Beauty is never going to be the same, is it?

That video is on the one hand, nauseating, and on the other the best thing I have ever seen.

I feel dirty.

Ok you gang of sickos

This morning the spot had a slight pus crust to it which i gently picked off. Underneath there was just red, inflamed skin (though still swollen). So i believe that the spot has retreated back into my face, to spring out again when i next plan to go out. I will keep applying the TCP and hope that it retreats further.

I'm sorry to disappoint you all with my lack of pus.

Ah, we've already seen that one :D pus doesn't remain a secret for long with us

Nagoo · 03/02/2012 21:59

If we are really lucky, the redness will retreat, and leave you with 'the worm' ready to come out.....
