I have two large pimples on my labia. I know that I’m acne prone, and it’s not the first time I’ve had one there, but this is ridiculous. What the fucking hell, Body, the first one wasn’t painful enough? I have to have double the wince when wiping for the next week?!? :mad: I can’t believe that I’m posting this, but I needed to rant. ---

I had a real juicy one once, in the, er, inner folds. Accidentally popped it as I was getting dressed, and we were houseguests preparing to head out the door with our hosts. Fortunately I was able to mop up with a Kleenex, and we were quickly on our way again. But :eek: :eek: :eek: ---

OUCH! I had one there once. OMG it hurt. Especially when I sort of half-accidentally popped it while trying to figure out was this a _zit? There?_ Eeeeyow! And yes, it was a pimple. Not the cyst thing at all. I had a minor flare-up of that as well once. Very different. ---

Warning, this is TMI. Do not read this if you want to prevent seizures, night blindness, and other things that can be caused by TMI. I had what I thought was a pimple on my labium majora about 6 months ago but it wouldn’t pop so I made an appointment with my gyno. She said it was a cyst and that it might go away on it’s own but that if it didn’t I would need to have it surgically removed. Then the other day I am checking myself with a hand mirror to make sure everything is normal and I kind of poked at the cyst. It erupted in a pus-filled blast as though I had a tiny volcano attached to my vagina! Turns out it was a zit after all, it just happened to be a very hearty zit that didn’t take to popping at first. Talk about ew! ---

> [@Beadalin](#): > > You’re, uh… sure they’re pimples? Well, they look and feel like them, and I’m pretty sure that I don’t have any STDs. **criminey.jicket** ’s cyst suggestion was a reasonable one, but they’re not evenly placed - one’s much further forward than the other. ---

What the hell? Is there like an outbreak in the Tri-State area? I had this same problem (only singular rather than in pairs - my sympathies on that one!) several weeks ago. Fairly sure it’s not anything contagious - upon inspection (gogo flashlights and hand mirrors - which really confused both my cats and my husband) it looked like a big nasty pimple - and it popped like one. It was definitely high up there on my “Things I Don’t Want To Happen To My Vagina Again” list. ---

> [@JSexton](#): > > I get a zit on my penis once a year or so. > > Yes, it’s about as painful as you’d imagine. Seconded. The worst place I’ve ever had a pimple was just on the inside of my eyelid. Yeah, you heard correctly. It wasn’t painful, but it was extremely irritating because I felt it every time I blinked. ---

> [@pbbth](#): > > At the time my thought process went, “EW!” and then immediately to, “Thank Og that didn’t happen during sex!” Yeah, it seems only two types of things happen to me: 1. Not during sex…_relief_!!, and 2. Can’t wait to post to the Dope! I’m either really lucky or really boring, not sure which. ---
