BBV4L: Is there a doctor in teh house?

BBV4L, I need your help with a personal hygiene issue.

While preparing to take a shower tonight (brag), I discovered a rather severe case of back-ne (beat). Said pimple was monstrous in size and yellowish in color. I said hmm, let's pop this sumbitch.

In popping process (brag), blood and guts squirted everywhere (beat). Particularly interesting to me was the fact that the oozing was prolonged in nature. This zit just keep flowing (beat).

Near the end when I thought it was done, I turned on the shower and prepared to hop in. I figured I'd give 'er one more squeeze -- just to be safe -- and I was horrified when a white-ish mass exited from the zit's crater.

The mass I speak of when measured was 1 c.m. (variance) and resembled a teeny tiny jellyfish. The consistency wasn't entirely smooth, though, as one side sort of looked like brains.

I ask you, BBV4L, do I have anything to be worried about? I have never seen such a humongous zit in my life.

tl;dr: I have a crazy case of back-ne that may or may not be cancerous in nature.

And, to save the thread:

I'm not a doctor but:

Sounds like a common cyst and nothing to be worried about. Huge zits are usually actually cysts. I think it's fun to squeeze out the gunk/pus/blood.

lol, if you're not trolling, you popped a cyst.

I've had 2, one on my back and one on my ass. Both became infected and had to be removed by the doctor. They become VERY painful when infected. The one on my ass got so bad I couldn't sit down.

I would recommend going to a dermatologist for this instead of an emergency room. I went to the ER for my infected ass one b/c I had to go out of town the next day and I couldn't sit down. The idiot [censored] moron asshat ER doc told me to soak in the tub (which you should NOT do when you have an open wound, lol). That morning, I was running a fever and it hurt to move at all. I think I got a staph infection. Had to go back to the ER where they pumped me so full of [censored] that I slept for 3 days.

anyway, this is very common, but don't do it yourself and go see a dermatologist ASAP.

and pics?

I thought about pics, but I figured it would be hard to see. And no, not trolling, very serious. I never saw anything that exploded quite like this thing did. The back of my t-shirt was as wet with blood as if I'd cut myself, and when I popped it further, the projectile covered the bathroom mirror with lots of blood.

As for soaking in the tub: The thing burned so bad in the shower that I had to get out for a band-aid. I'm a pussy. (Beat.)

Thanks for sharing you're experience. I hope my shoulder doesn't fall off.
