Darn it, Airman, I want one now!
Whenever I wear my pierced earrings, I can count on getting “crusty” earlobes 24 hours after removing my earrings. I do clean my earrings and dip them in alcohol both before and after wearing them. It feels kind of weird to squeeze my earlobes. One time when I squeezed at a different angle, I produced a prodigious amount of . .uh . . matter and my left ear piercing was noticeably larger than my right ear. The next morning, everything was back to normal. I report on these things so as to educate fellow Dopers.
I had something similar, medstar, only it was from a different kind of piercing…
guh!
I took out my nipple rings last summer and while the holes seem to have mostly healed up, my left one umm… oozes cloudy goo when squished.
LOL. TheOtherOne, you are cool.
I haven’t been getting any spectacular zits lately knock on wood but I’ve got a pretty good story in the last pimple thread. To this day I wonder if the kid sitting next to me ever noticed.
One time I had a giant red boil-type pimple right in the middle of my forehead, and it looked like a caste mark. Uh… yeah.
Heehee. I must share my own recent zit story.
I was sitting in math class a couple of weeks ago, minding my own business, trying to remember how many liters are in a quart when I reach up to scratch an itchy spot on the left side of my face right above my lip. My nails barely touch the skin when I hear an audible “BOOOM!”. My mouth gapes open and my eyes widen in shock, and I pull my hand away slowly, certain my face has just exploded. To my horror, I find my hand covered with gray crusty pus-goop, the composition of which I will not hesitate to guess. I gawk at it for a few moment, and gingerly touch the weeping sore from whence it came.
“BOOOM!” more pus-goop. My other hand is now covered. I stand up and lurch off to the bathroom self-consciously, hoping no-one sees my face oozing what appears to be radioactive waste. Either no-one in my class noticed, or they were too polite to mention it.
And I swear I had no idea that Godzilla zit was there!!!
.:Nichol:.
You know what I love? Not the oozers or squirters, though they’re fun. Not the mirror-marring pus cannons, though they’re definitely up there. I love the snakers. Those blackheads that just go forever and twist and snake out when you keep squeezing. I’m always excited when I get coil after coil of nasty goo out of a pore.
Ewww.

Zits on one’s own person are truly fascinating; but have you ever stared at someone else’s zit and had the urge to overpower them, tie them down, and SQUEEZE THAT ZIT??? I went out for lunch today, and my waitress had a huge red zit on the end of her nose. I really wanted to grab her nose and squeeze, but she might’ve taken that the wrong way.
glarGH, I feel your left nipple oozing pain. Mine does exactly the same thing. My left nipple ring has been out for two years, and it still oozes that cloudy stuff. Yuck!
OH yes. I had a doctor who had a monster blackhead right between the eyebrows. Since I have to listen to the doc, and it’s only polite to look him in the eye, I HAD to look at his face. It was ready to be tweezed out, too (I try to tweeze out blackheads, less trauma to the skin that way).
I changed doctors eventually, though not because of the Blackhead from the Black Lagoon.
