To squeeze a spot or not to squeeze a spot, that is the question!

If it’s white, lance the booger!!!

If it’s one of those underground pimples (you know, the kind that hurts really deep) the worst thing to do is squeeze it. Put a warm washcloth or heating pad on it. The heat draws it up to the surface. It may take a few days if it’s a really big one. If it’s one of those ones where you can clearly see the white goo, squeeze gently with two Q-tips (not fingernails) but don’t try to get every last drop. If it bleeds it will take longer to heal.

Lady M did say, “Out, damned spot.” (Maybe she was talking to her dog.)

But I would use compresses re; elijah. Squeezing may leave a scar.

I do it all the time when they start hurting. Its not best practice though, as it is more likely to leave a scar. The best way I have found to deal with the big ones is to gently rub soap into them. This will dehydrate it, and it should shrink in not much time at all.

I like to use a poultice of lilac and doe urine.

Put some Smiley’s Prid salve or some Epsal Cream on it. Both will draw it out faster.

ditto to @elijah and @Judi‘s responses.
tree oil also seems to work wonders. i don’t know how exactly, it just does.

thanks guys xx lurve to all
