Okay, I know, there’s a basket full of zit threads already, but…this was so gross…
Last night in my sleep, I guess I was scratching my rump. A little zap of pain awoke me. Half-asleep, I felt around on my butt cheek, and lo and behold was a little lump just a bit smaller than a pea. I groggily squeezed it. It kinda hurt a bit. Nothing special happened. So I kneaded it for a couple more minutes.
Just as I was falling back asleep, a huge zap of pain shot from my butt up to my brain. The lump was gone, and I felt an icky wetness on my hand. I kid you not, there was a faint smell of mildewy socks. The cat left the room.
I dragged myself out of bed and cleaned myself up. This morning it had healed nicely to a little hard scab. It was sooooo gross, but in a way I kinda miss that little zit.
I’ve been getting these little infected hair follicles on my arm. They’re little whiteheads with a single hair sticking out of them. Unfortunately they don’t provide a satisfying burst, they just ooze a little when squoze, and leave a bloodless, red pimple.
I had great hopes for the one just above my navel, but it seems to have self-deflated and is just another blemish.
I can report that the Magazine Man had a horrendous post about his teenage pimples here.
Oooooh. I had a zit yesterday in the absolute weirdest place - my right hip. I have no idea how that happened. I poked at it a couple times and succeeded only turning the surrounding skin purple. It didn’t have a head and I wasn’t even positive it was a zit (not sure what else it could have been though) until I finally squeezed hard enough and pow!
Considering the pungency of cat farts, that must have been excruciatingly foul.
Pluck out the hair first, and likely you’ll be able to get quite a bit of pus coming out with the hair. My husband gets these on his legs and chest, and I get to deal with them.
I sometimes get them on my waistline, where tight clothes or a belt create that band. Big, ugly purple mofos. Extremely satisfying yield, with that lovely squishing feeling as the internal structure of the zit is pulverized.
Ooh, that sounds fun! I am the designated back zit squeezer around here. My guy doesn’t understand the glee I experience from a good zit-squeeze, but he’s learned to submit to it.
