My motherlode pore is back. Unfortunately it is on my right labium minorum near the base with the opening toward the right labium majorum. When I first nothices a marble sized lump there years ago, I had my hubby look at it. He said it looked like a grain of orzo embedded in me. He could not see an opening so he pierced it with a tiny beeding needle and squeezed. A tiny bit came out of the needle hole but he gasped as the other side started to give up its contents.he told me that he found the pore and then started squeezing firmly. It hurt quite a bit and he wasn’t saying anything so I told him to stop if it was not popping,. He then showed me the stuff. It was several inches of rope like sqeezings that started out about a millimeter wide and them gradually got up to about 3mm across.the stuff was white and very firm. He got that much again from it before he called it quit. He did a good job because it did not show up for years. Recently It has been growing. it was a bit bigger than a pea and extruded about an inch worth of that same stuff about a week ago. a few days later it got red and tender splorched pus but now it seems no longer infected. Still there though.
Oww. I’m a guy and that sounds like it’d suck. I think you also get the TMI award for location, too. Coldfire, what say you?
I still have this bump on the back of my neck, but it’s deep so I think it’s an alien tracking device rather than a pimple.

Right now I have some sort of pimple/bug bite in my left ear. It oozes pus/blood every time I wash it in the shower.
I have just sat and read this whole thread at work and laughed, giggled & retched all the way.
You lot are all absolute stars - god I love the SDMB:D
For several years, when I was in high school, once a month, like clockwork, I would get a huge, red, pressure zit on the end of my nose. The kind of zit that can’t be popped. Instead, it simply swells and turns red and hurts.
It was so bad that, often times my parents would take pity on me and let me stay home from school. When I did go to school, I endured names like “north star”, “rudolph” and the like.
On one of the days that I did go to school, I was trying to keep a low profile. At lunchtime, I bought a cafeteria meal and headed to the lunchroom to sit with some friends. I was chomping on a chocolate-chip cookie when another friend sat down, looked up at me and said, “What is THAT?!?”. The rest of the conversation went like this:
Me: I know, I know. It snuck up on me over night.
Him: <bewildered look>
Me: Look, dude…I can wash and wash, but it won’t go away!
Him: <more bewildered looks>
Me: Leave it alone! It’ll be gone in a couple days!
At that point, he stood up and left as another friend sat down, looked up and said, “Dude…you’ve got some chocolate on your nose.”
lee, I’ve got one of those motherlode pores in the same general area. This one’s a little further up and, uh, tucked away, though. I’ll let you use your imaginations. I excavated it about a month ago to spectacular results and it’s been dormant of late. Your husband, by the way, sounds like a wonderful man.
To all of you who’ve participated in this thread so far, thanks. And eeeeewwwwww.
I’ve got two small contributions to this growing body of pimple knowledge. The first is my own, of just a couple of weeks ago.
My boyfriend and I had just scheduled a trip to Vegas, and two days before the trip, what to my wondering eyes should appear but a big honkin’ zit, right at the end of my nose. Just a big, red, painful splotch, with no head, making me look like W.C. Fields just off a bender.
So, I hit it with the hot washcloth for hours, hoping to draw it out, and finally, the night before we left, I saw a tiny little head appear, peeking shyly out of one pore.
Now, I know better. I know that I should have let it develop, maybe overnight, into a respectable head. But this thing had been driving me nuts; it was now a vendetta. So I squeezed, and got a satisfying amount of yellow goo out, and then I was satisfied.
Until it reappeard in mid-flight to Vegas.
It continued to hound me for two days. Wandering through the flashiest, gaudiest place on the planet with my nose hurting and bright freaking red. Nothing like painful embarrassment to make a vacation, I always say.
And then, one magical night, it called out to me that it was ready. So I took it to the mirror, and I squeezed and I squeezed and I squeezed some more, and finally, pop, out comes a small, rock-hard ball of goo.
One of the nicest memories from the trip, actually.
And just this weekend, I was playing with my dog, and I took a good look at the little lump just at the tip of her floppy little ear. I saw that it had developed a little ring around the very tip of the lump, so I squeezed it like a blackhead. Which, in fact, it turned out to be. A big freaking blackhead, at least three millimeters in diameter.
My puppy looked puzzled, but relieved.
And I have to say, I’m proud to have now brought this thread into even grosser territory than before, having introduced a whole new element: dog zits.
Oh, Mr. Visible, I pity our fingerless animal friends.
OK, so who here has popped turkey zits? I’m talking about the blackhead-looking things on a plucked, defrosted turkey. I think they might be feather follicles (?) or something, because sometimes you can pull the end of a feather out of the gaping hole. Best part of Thanksgiving.
I love you guys.
I have this pimply sort of thing on the left side of my face, sitting right over my cheekbone. Several months ago, it was a bite that I had scratched enough to cause it to infect - it swelled enough to make keeping the eye open a challenge and really mess up the shape of my face. It was noticeable. Really. The infection sneaked up on me - I was sitting in class, first period, and nothing was wrong. By third period, it was this enormous spider-bite-like injury that people were getting concerned about.
So, when school lets out, I go home. Mother applies stuff to it (tar-like substance - have no clue what that did, but it smelled like asphalt) and a large bandage. I wait a few days for the bite to heal and remove the bandage. Now, periodically, the remains of the infection swell up and I get the temptation to squeeze the living daylights out of it. When I do, a small amount of some clear fluid comes out, like plasma, maybe and only the smallest amount of pus. Much fun, because it’s fairly noisy. Unfortunately, it’s disappearing. 
I have something on my butt as well. I have a bony butt, so my buttbone makes contact with wherever I sit if I’m not slouching. It hurts, but if it were a pimple, it’d have popped already due to my weight. Or have compacted into a neutron star of pus and blood. Either way’s fine with me.
Your zit made noise? Ewwww!
I had a pretty amazing ear zit a few weeks ago. I tried squeezing it but was unsuccessful because it was hard to position my fingers properly inside my ear. Finally, as I was absentmindedly fingering it, I decided to push my fingernail along it steamroller-fashion.
First round: popped with some lumpy pus on my nail. Second try (still felt bumpy): same result with more fluid. Third: a big gush of liquid pus. When I felt in my ear for a fourth round, the thing had swelled up to a monstrous size, so I pushed one more time—a big, shattering POP of pinkish clear fluid. God, what a relief! My only disappointment was that I didn’t get to see it–the location was too awkward to see it in the mirror.
Lodrain, that may be a piloniday cyst. Check out www.pilonidal.org and see a doctor. If it is a plionidal cyst, they can become quite nasty when you least expect it. And if you have it lanced, please share the gory details.
You guys, this thread is just so sick and disgusting…
And I’m loving every minute of it! 
I have the same obsession with zits and the like, and it’s nice to know I’m not the only one out there! My SO has a huge nose (looks just like Tom Cruises) and the top of it towards the end is just littered with little blackheads… Do you know how tempted I am to attack his poor nose in the middle of the night??
Unfortunately, I don’t get many good mirror-hitters, but every now and then I get lucky… :eek:
I don’t think my SO will let me near his zits… he’s got butt zits and all… Hell, I have a hard time convincing him to get even a little kinky during sex! He would put me in the mental ward if I told him just what I want to do with those little suckers…
He’s already freaking out because I’m trying to convince him to let me at least try and give him a male-version of the brazilian wax… Heck, I’m even offering to do a little patch on his leg to prove to him it’s not that bad! 
Alas, I will have to be content with popping my own zits… Neither of my 2 dogs or 2 cats have zits… Which might be a good thing, especially for them!
Also, my web browser won’t let me look at the brain zit pics! I just get an empty box with a little red X in the corner
Could I possibly get someone to put them into an email for me? (Either pics in the body, for AOL users, or attachments…) I’m so curious, and this is just killing me!!!

The pics are no longer there for me either. Here is something to look at though. http://www.atlasdermatologico.com.br/
Many years ago I developed pimple on my nose, just over my nostral. It was so red and sore that I couldn’t even touch it without extreme pain! Finally enough was enough, I could actually feel the bump on the inside of my nostral too! It developed into a small head on the surface, so I took that as my cue that it was ripe for zit harvesting. I sqeezed until my eyes were watering, and I was about to pass out from the pain. After the initial blood and pain and puss and pain and zit pudding, I thought I was done. Oh no, I’m not getting off that easy! I managed to grab onto a hardened piece of something like a blackhead that’s dark on one side, and white on the other end. I wish I could describe the feeling of pulling a zit nodule out s-l-o-w-l-e-y where you can feel it moving out of your skin. Sort of like the feeling get when you pass a really big piece of shit past your prostrate. Sorry, I went overboard there! Anyway after pulling this hardened zit thread out, I saw another coming up. I pinched on it with my fingernails and pulled it out in the same fashion… except with ten times the pain. This wasn’t a hardened zit core, it was (i presume) a nose hair that had ingrown so bad that it erupted back through the exterior of my nostral! OMG!!! When I finally got that thing out of there it was like someone sliced open an over inflated tire. It bled for a few minutes, then it was all ok.
My wife gets honorable mention. I frequently get ingrown hairs on my ass from my compressions pants that I wear while exercising or officiating.
Speaking of those Biori (sp?) strips. She kind of became addicted to those things for a while. She has always had blackheads on her nose (tiny ones, but she didn’t think so, as she as nearly perfect skin. I don’t think she’s ever had a face pimple) Anyway, she was using those Biori strips like every day for a while. Finally it dried her skin up, and then she really freaked out when it became red, dried up and flaky.

About 3 days ago I went to scratch my leg and I found a HUGE bump like the size of a pea down about 6 inches above my ankle. WTF I thought… but I was in the middle of something so I decided to wait for the perfect moment to pop it.
Finally I squoze it but was really unsatisfied. Just a little bit of clear plasma stuff and some mostly-liquid pus… then nothing. It is still there, but mostly flattened out and red, nothing to pop anymore (don’t you hate that?)
So I’m hoping that it gets re-infected so I can pop something. How twisted is that?
Jesus. Uggghhhh, I seriously feel sick! I can’t believe I read this entire thread!
Don’t get me wrong…I can enjoy a small zit or two, etc. But it is seriously so far beyond me to imagine popping someone else’s zit or puss filled wound, etc. God, my stomach is rolling! How the hell do you people do it??
Tibs.
it’s fun! and addictive!
