Popping: tips on Technique

[jasonskyle]

So, what do you find works best for different kinds of zits, pimples, papules, spider bites, boils or cysts?

I think we can rule out shooting with a paintball gun as an option for cysts

Black head poppers ?? is that like a little tool or something, never heard that before.
Anyway i like to give it a good squeeze to try get it all out with 1 squeeze hoping it doesn't go everywhere.

We have an herbal medicine here that will zip all the liquid your zit has. It is not harmful and feels very cool on your skin. I love using it for I don’t need to suffer for pain.

Thankfully, I've never had a pimple that actually shoots out gunk!  no, normally I just squeeze it really hard between thumb and forefinger.  Sometimes when it just won't pop, I admit to using my nails to try and pop it.

Ahhh unlucky you, man.

I love the ones that shoot out.

Big tip: Don't squeeze at the top of the zit, work from the bottom.

Alright so for the guys out there, who don't have nails, how do you do it? Any time I trim my nails too short, I can't get a good pop. I'll have to go a whole week waiting for them to grow back.
