I get cool ones occasionally (once a year maybe) inside my mouth as well. Right in the back in the soft area where the top gums meet the bottom gums of the jaw. A fluid-filled bump slowly grows over a few days, getting to somewhere between pea-sized and marble-sized. I get a short-lived hobby as I constantly twiddle and press it with my tongue trying to burst it. It eventually pops, squirting salty pinkish plasma. Ahh, bliss 
I probably shoulcn’t, but this one is my favorite.
Oh God, it’s all over the computer, man!
As someone else upthread said, I love the Dope because here I find there are others like me, who find such things amusing, and not totally grotesque.
Lately I have been getting more and more of those stupid grape sized ones in the inner thigh fat. The most annoying ones are the “chambered” ones. Where poking a needle in and draining only makes a noticeable dent in the mass, and I have to keep poking holes around to get it where it doesn’t hurt any more.
I used to be afraid to poke them with a needle, but one time while drunk enough to be pain resistant I decided to squeeze the hell out of a deep one and just force it out. After gritting my teeth and squeezing until it finally felt it squosh out. But when I looked, it was totally dry;non-bloody, and non-pusy. I had squished it out the inside :eek:. After about three days of panic attacks wondering if I had forced stroke and heart attack causing clots into my blood stream, I decided I would needle from then on.
That used to be the treatment of choice for a particular kind of cyst on the wrist, a ganglion cyst. Used to be you’d take the biggest book in the house, place the hand and wrist flat on a table and whack it with the book, making the cyst rupture on the inside, and the body would reabsorb the contents and that would be the end of the thing. Since the biggest heaviest book most people had in the house was usually The Holy Bible, ganglion cysts are also known as Bible Bumps. 
Heh. I love the way that everything is laid out all nice and clean…and a drink with ice in it is also in the picture. Plenty of anesthesia for both the patient and the popper.
At least the popper didn’t take 20 minutes. A lot of the time, I want to reach through the screen and pop that zit or blackhead myself, because the popper seems to be scared to touch it. This guy, though, was not afraid to grab that sucker and pull it out. Maybe it’s the gloves.

How is that even possible, based purely on physics? Where did that all come from?
They’re like an iceberg. 90% is below the surface.
That was gnarly! :eek: I’m pretty sure that was a sebaceous cyst, too. The freakish thing about it was how much stuff was in there! He must have had a huge knot under his skin.
Inside of an eyelid (technically a stye) was the worst. Second worst is inside the ear canal.

Bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
About ten years ago, my then-boyfriend and I were talking about blackheads for some odd reason and he told me about the time he had one in his ear. Not in the canal, but in the outer part. His grandmother had to get it out with the tweezers. He said it was about an inch or so long and his ear hurt like hell afterwards because there was only one place his grandma could press down to get it to come out.
Later on that day he noticed something in my ear. Guess what it was?
Yes, it does hurt like hell when there’s only one place to press with a pair of metal tweezers to get the blackhead out. But then-boyfriend was kind enough to let me see what he had pried out of my head. It was only about a quarter of an inch long, but that was plenty believe you me.
This is probably the reason he’s the only one of my ex-boyfriends I still speak to. He understands the fascination.
I ripped open my right armpit on a fence as a child, and had to have 12 stiches to close up the wound. That left 24 holes that eventually develope blackheads. Since I don’t look there very often, I’ve squeezed out some real zingers from them.
I had a monster in the crease between my upper leg and anal area. Noticed it by feel in the shower. After I got dried off I put one leg up on the bathroom counter and laid a hand mirror in position to see it. I wasn’t sure if I was going to try to pop it as it was pretty painful. Put a finger and thumb on either side to size it up a little and with very little pressure it erupted all over.
I have had them in my belly button a couple times.
My brother had one of those when we were teens. Our father, a pharmacist, recommended he try that technique. He recoiled in horror, saying it was an extremely primitive treatment and he didn’t believe Dad could recommend it, etc, etc.
A couple of days later we noticed the bump was gone, and asked homing he’d whacked it with a book, as Dad suggested. He looked a bit shame-faced and admitted he’d been hammering some nails and accidentally hit his wrist with the hammer, right on the cyst, which went “splurt” and was gone. He said the book probably wouldn’t have hurt as much as the hammer did
inside my nostril, hurts!
The oddest one was on my front ear lobe (my ears aren’t pierced). It was weird that I could touch the “back” of the zit behind my ear lobe and kept doing it and doing it. I was too scared to pop it so I tolerated it with zit cream.
What I’m wondering about is how often do people get gum boils inside their mouths. I get boils often in the space behind my back molars and pop them with my finger or tongue. I feel an metal-taste afterwards which I presume is blood.
Some people have what could best be described as “mucus cysts”. They’re usually harmless.
A couple years ago, I had a root canal that failed and I had to have an apicoectomy. I had nightmares about the procedure, because it sounds absolutely dreadful, and while I hope I never have to have it done again, it took about 10 minutes and was less traumatic than a filling. My dentist believed at one point that this procedure had failed too, and the tooth would have to be pulled, but he was wrong and it healed up nicely.
Here’s a link without pictures. You really don’t want to know what it looks like.

I take that as a challenge.
The most ungodly place I ever had a pimple was my EYEBALL.
How in the hell is that even possible? I’m going to go cower in terror now.
Well, exactly. So far I haven’t one of the ones filled with a hair, but reading this thread will probably bring one on.
I did have a ganglion cyst once and was told to wear a wrist brace with a penny in it to press on the cyst over time. Eventually it went away, but not in any dramatic way.
