Gotta say, as bad as it is, there is something very pleasurable and gratifying about popping a big juicy zit.

There is nothing more infuriating than trying to pop a zit and failing to get the puss out, just making it larger and more irritated and sore.

I'd have to agree with you! I tried to get a blackhead out today but i didnt get it all out and i think i just made it worse! It swollen a lil bit and i really hope i dont get a zit from playing with it!

This talk IS really gross, but i do get some pleasure out of clearing out an ugly, clogged pore.

omg. its sooo gross but i totally agree. there's something rly empowering about it. kinda like u killed the little sucker that'd been bothering u.

yuck right?? haha

[ctbo]

i gotta agree with you all.we pick but cause we dont want it to become a pimple with then we dont get it all put and we get a pimple thats even worse.

[Miss Bennet]

Omg I woke up today with two huge, sore zits. It's terrible. My face was totally clear except for those two suckers. I popped one, gross I know, but the other one wouldn't. It just made the one that wouldn't pop more sore and now I'm depressed.

Ice it very well and it will come to a head that you can pick. It is a weird but satisfying feeling that you've gotten the gunk out of the pores, I think all acne sufferers love to do it. I had a horrible one which appeared on Thursday morning. My routine is i dont immediately pick at it. I blast it with SA and BP and then ice it. Do this for a few days. Today it was ready to be popped thankfully. I bought a bunch of diabetic lancets and they work better than any sewing needle. Using cotton pads soaked in alcohol i squeezed and all this crap and blood came out. I'm now sitting with a bandaid and neosporin on my face. By tmmw it should be better. Yeah. Just do it the right way and you will have more success.

Ugh, this is completely foul, but I have had this huge cyst for days now that I hadn't even tried to pop because there was just no way it was going to do any good. Last night, though, after several hot compresses I saw a bit of hope and decided to go for it-- it was disgusting the quantity and volume of nastiness that came out, but I was just so glad to get that crap OUT of my body that I didn't even care. God, it was gross, and so oddly satisfying. I hit it hardcore with TTO and didn't poke at it after I got all the obvious grossness out, and just help a tissue to it. And today it feels SO much less like I have a tumor on my face. It wasn't difficult to cover this morning and hasn't gotten any bigger. I'm so glad I was able to get it to come to a head!! That sucker hurt, BAD. Like throbbing pain. And now it's going away!!

Yes, very true. I feel relieved after popping a huge zit. I've screwed it up before, and made it worse, so that was kind of deflating. But when you actually get the job done? No better feeling in the world.

[greeneyes44]

LOL, yes it is gross but OH SO SATISFYING My favorite are the big ones that make a noise when squeezed. Like a mini little explosion sounding off. sick but a good feeling to know you kicked it's ass!

[grrrrr]

I love clearing out my pores. I'm like obsessed with it, it's kind of bad.
Most of the horrible zits I get are only from me picking.
But when I clear out a bad one, I'm on top of the world.

SO ridiculous

[help meee]

My favorite is when u pick it just right and the force blasts the pus into the mirror. Actually hear horror stories, but for me it helps so much not only psychologically but physically. Goes down and I never got a scar.
So get out there and start the picking, squeezing, poking and prodding

HAHAHAHA this made me crack up, cuz its so true!!

[Sweet Pea]

LOL, I am obsessed over popping ANYTHING with fluid in it. I don't even care--if I spy pus or other nastyness inside of it, it's going, no questions asked. I feel so much better and cleaner afterwards.

[Kiara Seaswept]

Oh, wow.

I thought I was the only one to feel this way. >->

But yeah, it's a really bad habit of mine, and I know it only makes my acne worse. >.< But I can't help it sometimes! I just wanna get rid of that stupid cherry red bump that bothers me so much and I have no patience! D:

[kimmi2384]

i love popping my spots!
i look in the mirror and tell myself no dont do it, its bad but then the urge takes over and once i start i cant stop! i have to get all the gross stuff out!
i feel so much better afterwards!! not when i then get a scar but hey it feels good at the time!

[Polska Laska]

It feels sooooo good to get the yucky gunk out. The best is a cyst that decides to come to a head, and then when you prick it and press the sides it (GROSS) kind of pops and oozes out. It's like you know that the worst is over, and you can begin the healing prosess. Mission accomplished!!

[gtfomyfaceacne]

I remember I use to find peeling the nasty, grody, thick skin off of these huge suckers I'd get on my chin felt really good. Like, holy crap, woooooow. And suddenly, I wouldn't feel as ugly which was a plus.

Oddly enough, I think I've only scarred once from that. But I've peeled off the skin of nasty pimples a lot more than once.

[Sugar_Spell_It_Out]

Better out than in I always say but I'm desperate to break the picking habit. My parents constantly have to tell me to get my hands away from my face.

Is skin picking like a proper full blown addiction? I'd find it hard to believe if its not...

[843]

It's like scratching an itch. It's a natural instinct, though your brain says otherwise.

I have a hard, crimson bump on my chest that resists all sort of picking. Not even needles can squeeze the pus out. It's driving me mad.
