I have a spot on the side of my chin today so big, I swear it is about to grow it's own face. :( I don't get them very often, but this one is a real whoppa!)

My question is, why do people tell you not to squeeze spots when there's obviously something waiting to come out? Surely it's better to help nature along it's natural course?

Anyway, I squeezed this one earlier, and it's now putting up a bit of a protest. It's really red and hot, and I'm sure it's considering writing to it's MP.

If I don't post tomorrow, you'll know it surprised me, and overpowered me in the night! :help:

LMAO

thats the best thing I've read in ages! don't worry my friend, I get plenty of spots and they drive me nuts... although I've noticed they usually appear the day after I've shaved (I only shave twice a week usually)... so maybe I need to get some nice lovely mens lotion or something?

but to hell with not popping, when you get a huge spot it HAS to be popped... damn sometimes the feeling is just amazing after you've popped something as big as a football!

don't worry Kristian, I think you'll be safe from the spot taking you in the night ;) whats most annoying is when they start to puss afterwards... thats just gross!

Yeah, thanks Xaf, I'd managed to put that thought out of my head! :(

I wouldn't be too sure. Royal mail out-of-hours service have just called me and said that if it's any bigger in the morning it'll need it's own postcode! :o

If you didn't drink so much.....:D

I think it's less to do with the drink, and more to do with the fact that I've not had my hand out of a bag of crisps all week. :blush:

Time to take stock me thinks; single, gaining weight and getting spots. :| What next? Nose hair? A sudden interest in philately? Pebble Mill at One to be recommissioned? Can things get any worse? :(

liking Celine Dion and Barbara Steisand?

that would be a bit weird for Kristian... although I have to say... Barbara Steisand does look a fair bit manly :?

Kristian, I get nose hair and I'm only 20! I think I'm getting conned here! and I have to pluck my evil meeting in the middle eyebrows... damn I'm turning 60 before I turn 20!!

whats worse than nose hair?... hair coming out your ears :gag:

Don't give the spot any more ideas please; it's just started whistling the theme to Titanic, I'm sure it'll be looking in Heat magazine for a re-run of Yentl by this time tomorrow! :o :help:

Worse than nose hair? Grey nose hair! I'm sure it's just a matter of time.....

Tell me about it, I've grown a thing on the corner of my jawbone. It's not even popable; just one of those red lumps that makes your head hurt when you touch it. I can't help but touch it.

ow.....ow.......ow........ow......owwwww........

Take my advice; don't make it angry! :D Perhaps we should let them meet? They could swap tips on ruining their owners looks, and the best way to draw attention to themselves! :suspect:

Forgive my insensitivity ( I am not prone to spots)
If you just covered the offending spotty with a small square band aid, would not that feel more acceptable (to you) than a huge rhubarb and custard affair on the visage :hihi:

The band aid would need to be the size of a football pitch cover, and the spot would probably report me to Amnesty International. Anyhoo, I'm off to bed. I'm sure it's sapping my strength! :|

Ahh, that big - sorry;)
When I did used to get 'em, I used to put boiling water on a flannel, let it cool until just bearable to the touch, and dab/lay it on the beastie spot.
The custardy head generally exploded violently after a few mins :gag:
and all was well after a couple of days :D

I think the spots may take offence at us being called their owners. I think the spots prefer to know us as 'their bitches'

I didn't think you meant it was that big. Think you may need to do a 'Shelley' from Corrie and stay indoors locked in the bedroom for a week :D

One spot and you're complaining. :hihi:

I'd trade with you Kristian :P

I occassionally get "A big boy" as I call them (plagirised from the Rachel papers by Martin Amis - very good incidentally) and I just leave it to its own devices for a bit, so it thinks it has the upper hand and then give it a viscious savaging. Once I've bullied it into relative submisson I'll douse the sod in TCP ........ They don't like it up 'em Capt. Mainwaring!

Wel, it didn't eat me in the night, but I reckon it's more good luck than anything else.

Just off for a final squeeze before I daub it in concealer and go to work pretending it doesn't exist!

yes, it is, and grey chest hair, and "not being able to hear yourself think" in nightclubs, and thinking midnight is "staying out late" and saying "I remember when " at the start of a sentance.

The best thing for REALY big spots is magnesium sulphate paste, and a little plaster, the paste draws the crap out of the spot and it vanishes.

I've noticed I've started to groan every time I stand up at work; what's that about? I'll be wearing a hairnet to bed next! :o

It does worry me how many conversations with mates start with 'do you remember...'

Oh I don't know... I can see Kristian cultivating a nice "sweep-over" as he gets older. He's just the type. ;)

That's how he looks most of the time anyway. The cigarette holder and hip flask full of sloe gin give him the air of a sophisticate.

Sorry Nick, I'm not deliberately answering everything of yours today - I swear I'm not a stalker....

I'm bigging up magnesium sulphate - also known as Morisons Paste! That stuff really works on boils! This isn't just a Clearasil cure, it's proper medical stuff that works! Go and buy some, now.
