Happy to report that the heating pad on my face is doing wonders for the swelling. I can see my nose now. I might even buy one more for my ass after seeing cubanlord's video, even though my wife says its zit-free.

One remedy I'd swear by back home on the occasional time I felt a spot might show was Witch Hazel. Simply apply a little to the skin. I've not seen it over here, but I've not looked for it either - when I spoke to another teacher though she didn't think it too far fetched that it would also be available over here.

Yeah, witch hazel works. I should shop for it once I am fit for public viewing.

Actually, I stopped the heating pad and went for a bike ride due to the drastic decrease in swelling. Came back home and the face-goiter has become surly again. Sigh.

Will try the hot-compresses next. This could be a weekend-killer.

BTW, if someone can count the exact number of times I inappropriately used a hyphen, then your treatment plan will be next and I will personally report later as to its effectiveness!!

Don't touch it. Seriously, don't touch to put cream on it, to put some hot pad on it, to satisfy your curiosity, for ANY reason. it will only make it angrier.

--unless it gets a whitehead. Then pop the f*cker and then DON'T TOUCH IT AGAIN.

I've got it to the point where its now just an angry red lump about the size of a pencil eraser. It does have vertical, but not so much now. The rest of my head is basically back to usual.

BB, would you put a small bandage on it and claim to have cut yourself shaving as Beaver suggested, use zit cream flesh-toned cover up (my wife found some Neutrogena stuff), or just air dry? (This is if you were me and wanted to go out tonight for a while).

God, I am in the ninth grade again? Embarassed Evil or Very Mad

That video excites me.

I love bursting spots. I would easily pay money for someone to let me burst their spots for them, but they would have to be BIG spots...you know...the type that make a noise when you burst them and contain a substantial amount of puss.

My sister used to pay me to let her burst the spots on my back.

So....If you want, that ZIT could earn you an easy O chun won Wink

I hear you, joy of joys when I had an arse boil the size of a golf ball in Indonesia 18 months ago.

ha!

this is the best topic I've read in a damn long time!!!!

I remember one under-eye deformation that occured at the tail end of summer vacation. My mother obliterated it with a needle and when school started I became friends with a gymnastics babe who had injured her same cheek on the bars... fun times, those.

I've got a bunch of scars and have "a real good time" with acne everyday, the best thing you can do is ROCK IT!! After all these years I've realized that other folks are too darned concerned with their own petty problems to really notice and degrade mine (not to say a face goiter is petty, but put it in perspective) so many dratted people are too concerned with their own paltry pimple to put emotional stock in yr. epidermal cunge.

Kids on the other hand, are brutal. nothing you can do about their evil innocence, so run with it. Freak 'em out!! "it's an alien, on my face!!!! buwahaha!!!"

skin is skin.

thank you cubanlord, i've been trying to find that second vid - the one of the dude in the glasses - since 1999. it's from one of the pantera home videos, and i remember it making a party of about 30 people cringe and shit themselves.

zits are great. i'd love to watch one erupt through a microscope.

you are demented, but, all the same, I can understand where you're coming from. popping zits is fun. but somebody else's? i just hope you wear protective goggles.

Well Caniff, it looks like our journey together is almost at an end. I am so happy to see that your pimple is in recession. See, to be honest with you, I was worried. I really thought you had something like this:

I am glad to see you don't. WARNING#*$&#* DON'T EAT BEFORE THIS VIDEO...YOU WILL LOSE IT!

Just click on the (see the vid) link.
