A nose story

[effervescible]

Okay, so earlier this week I had a little bump on the inside of my nostril that was painful, and it eventually sort of migrated into a red tender bump on the outside, right atop the nostril. Almost on the very tip, but not centered. I just figured it was one of those occasional zits you get where it's big enough to feel on both sides. So, it grows enough to have a wee head on it and I figured pop this bitch because then it will stop being tender. Which I did. And I squeezed a bit more a second time to get all the gunk out, and I see a tiny black spot.

A deeply-buried blackhead, I wonder? No. I squeeze, and a NOSE HAIR EMERGES. Apparently, I had an in-grown nostril hair that worked its way to the OUTSIDE.

To be honest, it is kind of freaking me out. Inside things are supposed to stay inside! I keep thinking, if I get another zit, what else might come out?

Weird.

DID SHE CRY OUT HER CHEEK?

I don't know for sure. She noticed it because she was leaking what seemed like tears, went to the Doctor and he told her what happened. She blames the fact that she's a lab tech who works around a lot of chemicals.

I know! I guess she's lucky she didn't come in contact with a irradiated spider or something...although the super powers would have been cooler...

That would be pretty ace as long as she didn't start shitting silk.

BWAH! There are so many places I've been LMAO in this thread, but settled on jumping in here.
I'm glad the hair issue has been resolved, and can say that, as an unrepentant scab-picker, zit-popper etc., I would have done the same thing.

aevalin, I hope your pal is all healed. Gack!
