I generally don’t get zits on my face where it’s easy to squeeze. The zits that give me the most bang for the buck are usually on my back which is unreachable, or my shoulders where I really have to reach. One time, the zit on my shoulder exploded on to my bathroom mirror. I actually heard a splat sound and the core exploded into pieces. The zit bled for a while, but the next day, it had disappeared. By the way, isn’t it awful when the zit pops when it is inconvenient to squeeze? I’ve had it happen at work and I know that when I come home, I’ll have to peel the sleeve off of my shoulder where it has become stuck. ---

I hate getting small zits on my cleavage area. It usually happens the days were I actually use something with cleavage…_sigh_ ---

> [@](#): > > Should I be disappointed or happy I couldn’t read that at all? You should be very happy. It is a vdeo file of someone popping a very large zit. I think I am going to be very sick. ---

I’m glad this thread was bumped, now I don’t have to search for it. Would somebody _please_ come pop the giant zit that has taken up residence on my right thigh? ---

Hi, my name is Gazelle from Hell and I love to squeeze my husband’s zits. He has one that I’ve named Old Faithful. I get to do a zit search about once per month, only on his back. (I’d squeeze others if he’d let me.) If I don’t find any nice zits or blackheads to squeeze, I go right for Old Faithful. I think it’s a pore that scarred and is so deep that it regularly collects a lot of gunk. I’m talking a full half-inch of gunk. There is nothing more satisfying than squeezing a blackhead and getting a ton of gunk. The funniest thing: After I’d been married about five years (and squeezing El Hubbo’s zits for about as long), my parents came to visit… At one point, my father was lying on the floor taking a nap. My mother sits on his back, pulls up his shirt and starts squeezing zits. Turns out he has an Old Faithful too! (Suddenly I’m grossed out. Why does story that sound incestuous to me?) ---

BTW, there are a lot of people who like pimple stories. This thread has a poreful of views! ---

Enright… thank you. Beleive it or not I found that video months ago either on a website or Kazaa however a formatted hard drive later I lost it. I have searched “Pimples and zits” on kazaa numerous times but never found it. ---

**Jeff** , be careful. If it looks like a giant zit, it could be a boil. If you squeeze those mothers too soon, you may end up with an impacted boil that has to be lanced by a doctor. Do the hot compress thing - wet a hand towel and throw it in the microwave, then put it on the boil until it’s not hot anymore. Do this over and over. Of course, you want to make sure that you can handle the heat of the towel. Don’t burn yourself! Anyway, the hot compresses will either bring the gunk to the surface so you can squeeze it with impugnity, or it will dissolve on its own. I had a nasty boil on my inner thigh that just went away after a two-hour session of hot compresses. ---

That might not have been a zit (or a boil) after all. It had been like having a golf ball in my leg but now has pretty much disappeared. I’m thinking something bit me. ---

I feel vaguely queasy after seeing that video, but man, I’m also jealous. I’d love to have something like that on me!
