You would think that at 42 with decent hygene, zits would be a thing of the past... no. Woke up this morning with a huge one on my left cheek same level as my mouth. It was a nice white head, so getting the gunk out was easy, but it is still deep and tender from whatever led up to it.

Thanks for sharing that...
Even being 30 it still sucks. I have oily skin to begin with so I am more prone to getting them. Blackheads are sometimes worse than whiteheads.
I hate them too.
Be happy that you still have such a 'youthful' complexion!

Someones never had the joy of a big ass zit near his dick. That's a fun level of pain.

Don't go camping in the summer where there is no running water. Bad juju.

M-fin CHICKEN POCKS man!!
I got them really mild when I was 5, managed to get them a second time (didn't know it was possible but it was!) when I was 17 and managed to get chicken pocks on my hootus.
Thankfully, no scarring.

In reply to Grizz:
Have you ever got one on your eyelid? You won't be worrying about the one near your dick for long.
backne is the worst but i contribute that to the gnarly workout benches at the various gyms I frequent.
"The Zit Remedy"!!! THis is not the Official Zit Remedy video but I posted it because It inspired many rap artists.

"The Zit Remedy". Made it "RAIN" at least 10 years before any any rap star!!!

It's dangerous to go alone. Take this.
At 54 I still get them occasionally. Damn I hate that... and yes zits near Mr Happy are probably the worst. It's been at least 20 years since the last one and I still holler
Young lady of my acquaintance had one in a similar spot... oh man that musta hurt.

I've never had a zit down that way, but I've certainly had ingrown hairs when I tried to clear the rain forest to make fertile farmland.
never had a zit downunder (did I just damn myself?) but up the nose are no fun either
They never go away. At 60 I still have to take low grade antibiotics to keep them down to a manageable level.

I'm prone to ingrown hairs. The most "fun" one was an ingrown eyelash. I could not reconcile the desire to dig the eyelash out from its little pus-filled bag, and the shuddering fear of getting any kind of implement anywhere near an eyeball, so I mostly just stared at it in the mirror and willed the skin over it to weaken so it would free itself.
I ended up using a curled-back pick hook on it (point is aimed back at the handle, no jabbing possible) and pulled down on my cheek to get it really far from my eye. But that was after a week...

Ouch. I had one in my nose a few years ago..not something I'd wish to experience again.
I have somewhat oily skin, so if I skip showering for a day, I'm prone to get zits. Fortunately, never one "down there" but get them on my legs.
I'm 40, and I still occasionally get zits, usually just inside my nostril, and sometimes resulting in infected nose hair folicals. Lots of fun
