Oh you didn't :I
Nobody downplays zits. I:
I did, because unless they're so huge that they're painful, there's nothing to downplay.
It's not like they're so ugly that people don't smile at you as you serve them coffee, or so ugly that they'd rather steer away from you in the hall instead of grunt hello.
It's only when they start to hurt that they're a problem. And when no amount of squeezing gets you anywhere at that stage, so it gets irritated too. Ugh, I had that last week (not on my face, though).
Yeah, I'm sorry to hear that. I can only encourage you to heat it up to draw stuff out, and maybe use a sharp object to open a miniscule hole to draw the stuff out through. I hear a hot sewing needle works, but sounds painful.
From memory I recall sterilization of a thin needle by fire then lancing the zit parallel to the skin.
...
Though I prefer just waiting it out.
I've a fear of needles x_x
Needles in your skin.
My childhood wasn't...nice.
Yeah... I don't like needles either, myself. Which is definitely why I don't recall the specifics of that procedure.
Hated them even more when younger. Caused a dentist to lose circulation in his hand when I grabbed his wrist to stop a needle from going into my mouth. I'm barred from 6 dentist's offices for various reasons, that event is directly responsible for three of them.
I guess I'm sad that my oral hygiene sucks.
