Oh, man this hurts. :frown: Ever get one of those?

:smile: This thread means nothing without pictures...
 
Ooh yes I had one of those once, it was huge. I squeezed the bugger with tweezers in the end, it hurt like billy-o but it was one of the most satisfying experiences in my life.
 
This thread sure is something...

I think I am just going to have to wait it out. Maybe I can put some neo-sporin on it or something.

That makes my eyes water just thinking about it! :bugeye: That's one location where the only quick end to the agony is to pop it...if you can get at it!

It has gotten a lot smaller and less sore since yesterday so I guess I'll just let it run it's course. Really annoying, though.
 
  • #12
Inside?! I have never had one INSIDE my nose, sounds painful.
 
  • #13
That's not a zit. It's your second nose coming in. The first will drop off in a week or two and the new one will take over. Didn't your mama never 'splain this to you?
 
  • #14
yah, it is really painful, matt. If I were a gypsy witch and could curse those who crossed me, this would be one of the top afflictions in my arsenal.

oh, no, Zoob! You think it's my "wisdom nose"?! Should I put the old nose under my pillow when it falls off?

I get them.

I am a closet compulsive zit popper. If it's near enough to the front, you can turn your nostril inside out enough to get at it.




I have shared too much.

Oh, there are very paiful. Sorry MIH :frown: I think tribdog's solution would consist of knitting needles and bic lighters.

I get these quite often which is weird and quite lucky because I never get spots anywhere visible just on my thighs inside my nose. Think yourself lucky it could be on the end of your nose and glowing bright red.
 
  • #21
The only time I get a zit inside the nose is when I'm coming down with a cold. It's almost a certain sign that a head cold is on the way.

Maybe keep your nasal spray and prep H on different shelves?

Leave him alone, Dave. As Kurdt mentioned, he has a rare disorder and his thighs are inside his nose. Sounds much more uncomfortable than my silly nose zit. I'll stop complaining now and count my blessings.

I've had my nose in many thighs, but never any thighs in my nose.

This thread should be locked right here and tucked into classics before any vandals try to top the untoppable.

Talk about having your head up your...

:rolleyes: Nah, Zooby was right, I should have left Chroot's post as the ultimate witty remark for this thread. :smile:

I knew there was a reason I never used to post after having a few beers.

I've never had a zit inside my nose, but I wish I did cause I don't know what a zit smells like.

You still wouldn't know, because you'd have a zit inside your nose keeping you from smelling anything properly. :biggrin:
