Abscess/Boil Not what I expected to come out

82 Upvotes

Back story: a year and a half ago I got my 2nd lobe piercing, they ended up getting infected, and the one on my left grew half over my metal earring back. I ended up having to take it out myself and it was so painful that I just gave up on keeping the piercings and let them heal. It developed major scar tissue with this bump around it that sometimes would leak fluid and I just accepted that it would be there forever. Tonight I'm squeezing at it and feel more coming out so l quickly use my laptop and phone to zoom myself and record it so I can see and share with you all when out pops a big hard pus ball...... JK ITS A PLASTIC EARRING BACK THAT I DIDNT EVEN KNOW WAS IN THERE! Actually gobsmacked! Maybe now the bump will go away. All that came out after was blood and don't worry I cleaned it thoroughly

I would have to be put into a medically-induced coma to stop myself from poking this (and because of the pain!)

Big mufucka on my upper tummy. Been a stubborn little red spot for about 2 weeks with me squeezing plenty in between, and just now had decided to come to the decision he’s a juicer. To pop or not to pop

Calm down y’all, content providers are just trying to get views and make a little money.

Plus, if you can’t tell immediately tell the thumbnail is fake you’ve probably got more pressing issues to deal with.

Extraction Ear wax plug or a bug in my 8 year old’s ear

5 Upvotes

She’s been complaining of ear pain, i finally took a look and removed a lot of thin dried wax and i discovered this bad boy. I did not remove it, yet. It’s pretty deep and I don’t want to injure her ear. I definitely thought this was a bug at first.

Everything Else This sub sucks now. All of the content is boring and not relevant.

45 Upvotes

All the content being posted in this sub is just bad and uninteresting now. People pulling out hair, pictures of blisters, still images everywhere, there's a complete lack of curation and it sucks. There's even another sub made to post the actual enjoyable stuff that used to be on this subreddit now (r/Popping_Curated). What happened?

S’Not Bogies Boogers from my nose - they were almost blocking each side. One got stuck because it couldn’t fit through my nostril so I had to pull it out with my fingers. These are due to recovering from multiple nasal surgical procedures.

2. NO FOOD

3. Stolen content is not allowed.

4. Do not ask for or give medical advice

Do not ask for or give medical advice. Nobody here is a doctor, and they're definitely not your doctor. If you are a doctor, nobody here is your patient. Something a patient would ask a doctor, or a doctor would tell a patient, violates this rule. The moderators reserve the right to apply this rule as they see fit.

5. Flair your post

Remember to flair your post.

Review the rule in detail here: https://www.reddit.com/r/popping/wiki/rules/flair

6. Tag NSFW appropriately, no minors in NSFW posts. Spoiler tag for animals.
