Your Personal Guide to Rewarding Pimple-Popping Sessions by Berschelle Hughes

Rate your pimple:

• It’s got to be big.  No dull blackheads.  (Although during a popping crave, they will suffice in the absence of a good pimple)
• Best results come from the bumps with white-ish, tightly stretched skin- they produce a satisfying pop sound similar to squishing bubble wrap.
• High content gunk is more likely in a pimple found on the nose, chin or forehead.
• It has to be sore.  A loud “Awwwuugh” adds to the satisfaction of getting rid of it.

Equipment needed:

• For high tech poppers, there’s a tool called a blackhead remover- good for the smaller ones on the side of the nose.
• Q-tips to wipe the first secretions away so you can see what’s left.  This allows you to continue the popping process.
• Strong fingernails- very necessary for stubborn pimples that are not quite ready, but you can’t wait for maximum gunk fill-up.
• Kleenex for the final clean up.
• Soap and warm water- prevents tell-tale signs of a pimple popping spree.

Suggestions for further research:

• Back pimples are for advanced poppers only, as pimples in this area can also produce gunky cysts that may require an actual incision.
• Scalp pimples, otherwise known as “sweat pimples.”  Very sad to have if you are bald.
• And- the pimple found on the dorsal side of the body in the gluteus region. These require a specially trained popper, since those pimples occur on spongy, unstable tissue, making it difficult to maintain an adequate popping surface.
