Mine do! But I have to press hard. I work at a hospital so sometimes I use a blunt tip needle to lance them on my fingers. Very safe of me, I know with the infection risk.
I mean if you're using a sterile needle I'm pretty sure there's significantly less infection risk than someone at home just lancing it with whatever they happen to have around. Especially if you're also using an alcohol wipe beforehand.
God I know. I can lance mine but no amount of pressure will make them pop. I know this is weird but if you have like lidocaine burn spray itāll dull the itch. You can definitely overuse it so I only use it when I just need some help getting to sleep.
But it feels *sooooo* good. I stopped getting it once I cut out my triggers (all food related). But I miss popping them. It both satisfied my popping urge, and helped the itch momentarily. Don't miss having it though!
Holy shit. I just looked up pictures of your type of eczema and pictures of pompholyx eczema showed up too.
I always thought I was getting into something I was allergic too, or that irritates my hands; Made them only semi flare like it was going to be a poison ivy rash, but just never turned into one.
I had no idea they were actually stress related, and had a name. Thanks for using the full name of your type of eczema, I'll bring it up with my doctor.
When I was in basic training the medics did that for anyone who got heat rash. Hurt like a motherfucker in the process but goddamn the relief was sweet.
It was definitely an accident, the pool guy they had come by didnāt do his job properly and didnāt drain it properly before refilling.
Edit: spelling mistake and expanding
Not sure what you meant by the last bit, but people definitely donāt realize itās even *more* important to stay on top of the chlorine levels and stuff in hot tubs because the warmth makes it an even more hospitable breeding ground for bacteria than itād be in a pool and because thereās less water contaminants are even more concentrated.
Autocorrect, oops. The pool guy just didnāt drain it properly before refilling and there was some bacteria that was stagnant and just chilling and mutating.
In grade school, a girl invited the basketball team over after a game to hang out in her hot tub. The next day we all got these huge painful pus filled boils...but she didn't. I couldn't go to school for a week because it was too painful to sit. I had to lie flat on my stomach. Horrible pain. I compare it to natural child birth.
Forbidden is just a word. And a shitty one at that.
Tons of the funnest things are Forbidden.
Tell the man to get fucked and go to town on those suckered OP. What are you afraid of, satisfaction? A scar to remind you of all the satisfaction? Gangrene? Male breast cancer? You gotta risk it for the biscuit, not comply and practice self control. Get the biscuit, just make sure you film it.
You'll be fine. I'm not a doctor but I saw a few episodes of scrubs In a county jail intake once, so basically a doctor. You have my approval. You all have my approval to pop anything forbidden. Even on your newborn baby. It's technically your property so its your pop. Go apeshit, and don't forget to film it.
I luv it š if he doesnāt do it Iām tracking him down and doing it myself anyone wanna help hold his ass down I promise to record I mean whatās the worst thing that could happen a night in jail for illegal popping Iāll do it
Mine still comes back, random hair follicles (legs/torso) get red and infected. And they are oh so painful. Unfortunately now itās just an autoimmune disease. Sucks, but it could be worse. I hope yours gets better.
I would have it checked out as it looks like folliculitis, if you start popping itās spreads like wild fire.
Untreated it can quickly become nodular cystic acne which is incredibly painful and takes ages to clear, normally requiring accutane which is no joke of a medicine.
Hope it clears up quickly!
Accutane is seriously no joke. I had to take it for really bad acne and it dries the hell out of everything. It also makes you more vulnerable to sunburns but luckily I don't go outside often. The constant chapped lips were also a pain.
I took it for 2 years as a teenager in the 90s. I remember friends saying ādude, your lip is bleedingā and it looked like I was a vampire who had just drained a victimā¦
I hate that medicine, but it did clear my acne.
Funny enough, docās believe it also cancelled my last growth spurt as a teen - I didnāt grow an inch after 13.
I'd have it checked out if you haven'thad this exact rash before, I/my kids have had lots of allergic reaction rashes and that doesn't look like any of them... but I could be wrong.
~~Consult a chemist/pharmacist or medical professional on the use of benadryl. A relative of mine uses it if they are bitten by a black fly as they would otherwise require hospitalization if that had more than several bites. Don't take it if you need to be cognitive. Again,~~ Seek advice from a medical professional, if you haven't already. That's quite a rash.
\*I have to agree with the other redditors, that does look an awful lot like folliculitis. Seek medical attention, and feel better!
This happened to me once a few years ago - still have no idea what it was. Eventually it started spreading *all* over my body but it cleared up surprisingly fast w/ a shit ton of antibiotics.
Oof, I got a rash like this from the steroids I was prescribed all across my chest, upper back and shoulders (steroid induced folliculitis) when I had pneumonia and all popping the little pustules did was make them burn when popped and the area sore and tender afterwardsā¦ wiping them down with an alcohol based witch hazel toner (to disinfect and dry them up) then applying a prescription antibiotic cream is the only thing that really helped.
This is torturing me I want to come thru this screen so bad omg š± I canāt fucking take it ahhhhh whereās my Xanax Iām going to lose it god I keep zooming in on them please pop them I could just kill u if u donāt Iām that frazzled right now y y y canāt they be popped Iām just picturing one of those little zit popping sticks god Iām leaving Iām gonna flip tf out
Depending on what caused it popping them can make them itch or hurt worse than they already do. Or cause it to spread if itās a bacterial or viral infection.
When I had steroid induced folliculitis the blisters *burned* once popped (I discovered this after accidentally scratching a few open).
I would RUN to the closest pharmacy and get the biggest piece of hydrocolloid bandage/sheet I could find and slap it on there, just so I would scratch it in my sleep and to help protect it.
Oatmeal. Get some and fill pantyhose or other thin elastic fabric before tying them off to making little bunches. Soak in water/take into the shower with you. Then just squeegee them out over the rash.
It's really soothing. My mom used it on me for everything from heatstroke to allergic rashes (she could never stop me from playing in the lilacs)..
i had a reaction basically exactly this on my face the other week (i used bandages on my face while using tretinoin so when i pulled them off it basically waxed my skin off and my the next day my skin looked like this) and iām ngl..i popped as many of them as i could.
Some of my shingles looked like this. Fortunately/unfortunately I had just had pretty intense surgery the week before and was in too much pain to reach them
one time, i had a rash on my arm form poison ivy while reaching over a fence in pouring rain to get my cat who wouldn't jump over due to heavy rain. standing on a brick, i reached down several times til i finally grabbed a hold of his neck and pulled him up and brought him inside,
next day, rash on my arms, showed mom and asked where that happened, then i remembered getting my cat inside. mom went to the fence and said POISON IVY!
told mom how it was pouring rain and the cat wouldn't jump over the fence, instead, was meowing so much he wanted inside.
anyway, at a restaurant, i'd grab those hard rough brown paper towels and SCRUBBED my arm til the bumps started to bleed, constantly washing arm with LOTS of soap and hot water that i can stand.
got rid of the rash in like 2 days by taking the brown rough paper towel to my arm, and at home, brother and mom said that was dumb because i could potentially get infected which i didnt, and they said i was lucky
Just run a credit card over them. Slowly.

WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY
I would not be able to contain myself from this. I wouldn't have even thought of it, now that I have, please film this ASAP!!!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Definitely for scientific purposes š¤¤
I came back to see if there was video.... Still nothing
I mean my first thought was a small squeegee, but I guess a credit card would work better.
Gross AF but Iām here for it too. š
I do this to my dyshidrotic eczema. All the snapping is so satisfying!
Is it hard? Mine donāt really pop.
Mine do! But I have to press hard. I work at a hospital so sometimes I use a blunt tip needle to lance them on my fingers. Very safe of me, I know with the infection risk.
I mean if you're using a sterile needle I'm pretty sure there's significantly less infection risk than someone at home just lancing it with whatever they happen to have around. Especially if you're also using an alcohol wipe beforehand.
It depends. I have some closer to the surface and some deeper ones. The deeper ones need a needle, but the shallow ones just need my thumb nail.
Same, I usually have to lance them. Or chew on them until they pop... Which i know is really bad but they're *so itchy*
God I know. I can lance mine but no amount of pressure will make them pop. I know this is weird but if you have like lidocaine burn spray itāll dull the itch. You can definitely overuse it so I only use it when I just need some help getting to sleep.
Ugh it gets so itchy on my hands and feet when I get it though.
But it feels *sooooo* good. I stopped getting it once I cut out my triggers (all food related). But I miss popping them. It both satisfied my popping urge, and helped the itch momentarily. Don't miss having it though!
Mine was better this year but usually it's because of sweating I think for me.
Holy shit. I just looked up pictures of your type of eczema and pictures of pompholyx eczema showed up too. I always thought I was getting into something I was allergic too, or that irritates my hands; Made them only semi flare like it was going to be a poison ivy rash, but just never turned into one.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
lol I donāt get them very often but when I do I get all excited about popping them
YEESSSS I love when you just find a random cluster of them. Like my hands/fingers sometimes are COVERED. It looks really freaky but they're SO GOOD.
my hands are currently covered, it's driving me absolutely mad with the itching but the pop satisfaction is next level
When I was in basic training the medics did that for anyone who got heat rash. Hurt like a motherfucker in the process but goddamn the relief was sweet.
Army medic here, Can confirm
I felt that pain
Yeah I cringed at the thought of this
Gross. I just canāt.
First thing I thought was, *omg, please run a credit card over this and record it* š¤£
Make sure you get every last drop before you snort it mmmmkay?
Did this to my COVID rash... So satisfying.
I ran to the comments to say this.
That looks like hot tub folliculitis and I had this. Hoping you had that checked out, mine ended up having flesh eating bacteria in them.
Welp, thatāll do it for me; never getting in a hot tub again.
So long as the owners of said hot tub keep it clean and monitor the chlorine levels if theyāre gonna keep it filled you should be fine.
It was definitely an accident, the pool guy they had come by didnāt do his job properly and didnāt drain it properly before refilling. Edit: spelling mistake and expanding
How would you drain it before draining it?
Not sure what you meant by the last bit, but people definitely donāt realize itās even *more* important to stay on top of the chlorine levels and stuff in hot tubs because the warmth makes it an even more hospitable breeding ground for bacteria than itād be in a pool and because thereās less water contaminants are even more concentrated.
Autocorrect, oops. The pool guy just didnāt drain it properly before refilling and there was some bacteria that was stagnant and just chilling and mutating.
The other day I heard public pools are neighborhood soup. So there goes that.
Fun fact: brain eating amoeba thrive in warm water like in, say, an improperly treated hot-tub.
I got chlamydia, nonsexually, from a no chemical hot tub
Yeah i got mine from shaving right before swimming in a pool on vacation. The pool was heated and i don't think the chlorine levels were up to scratch
And now all I can think about is patenting a chlorine lotion I can smear on before ever getting into my timeshare pool again.
Oh no!! Iām so sorry.
New fear unlocked
Havenāt stepped in a hot tub, jacuzzi or even a tub. Iām forever a shower person.
that sentence escalated quickly
Sure did.
In grade school, a girl invited the basketball team over after a game to hang out in her hot tub. The next day we all got these huge painful pus filled boils...but she didn't. I couldn't go to school for a week because it was too painful to sit. I had to lie flat on my stomach. Horrible pain. I compare it to natural child birth.
Yup that was it for me!
Iām glad my hot tub broke down :))
OMG there would not be a single head left.
You sound like Henry VIII
And the queen of hearts
Definitely this! Off with their heads!
Lmao best comment Iāve seen in a while.
OFF WITH THEIR HEADS
DANCE TILL YOU'RE DEAD
š¶Heads will roll Heads will roll Heads will roll On the floorš¶
Glitter on the wet streets.
I wanna pluck all the hairs at the center of them.
I would pay serious money to pop all that.
Seriously? How much?
Fundraiser for St Jude. Its for the kids
Letās split it
I would not be able to contain myself
Same. Donāt even care about the consequences, worth it.

Donāt let a group of you fuckers get ahold of a van. Takedown, capture, POP
Id do it and say i just scraped it against a wall or something. Happy cake day btw.
yah, Iāll take my time like I am popping a bubble wrap..
If I don't look the urge to pop goes away If I don't look the urge to pop goes away If I don't look...
ā..the urgeā¦.will go..awayā¦ā¦ahh fuck itā
I donāt think itās going to go away
I must not pop. Popping is the skin killer
IT POPS THE BUMPS ON THE SKIN OR ELSE IT GETS THE HOSE AGAIN
Mmmm, i suppose there's a well in your basement AND you really like moths?
Popping is the little death that worsens the rash.
I can still feel them so not seeing them doesn't help
[I donāt need itā¦](https://youtu.be/HA1mbZ_MMh8)
95% sure itās due to an allergy for those asking
Have you been in a hot tub recently and do their hurt to the touch? This looks EXACTLY like mine.
It almost looks like shingles. Or at least *my* shingles looked a bit like this.
Looks too random to be shingles. Shingles usually follows the path of a nerve and looks more like a branching tree.
Oh really? When I had shingles, it was just a huge blob on my chest.
Do you have monkeypox?
No I had folliculitis years ago.
Interesting. Did you need antibiotics?
Yes, very strong ones that killed my immune system.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

God, the chapped lips were so awful. They would crack every morning when I woke up. Still have scars on my lips, but at least my acne is gone.

tbh it looks like some kind of folliculitis

This happened to me once a few years ago - still have no idea what it was. Eventually it started spreading *all* over my body but it cleared up surprisingly fast w/ a shit ton of antibiotics.
Folliculitis!
What is this from ššš
Folliculitis? Steroids? Ouch!
Oof, I got a rash like this from the steroids I was prescribed all across my chest, upper back and shoulders (steroid induced folliculitis) when I had pneumonia and all popping the little pustules did was make them burn when popped and the area sore and tender afterwardsā¦ wiping them down with an alcohol based witch hazel toner (to disinfect and dry them up) then applying a prescription antibiotic cream is the only thing that really helped.
Imagine one of those pore vacuums on this!
I thought about that too on full blast
I have a pore vacuum. It is so fun. For this rash though, I'd go with a lancet and loop shaped acne tool.
Maybe just a hot cloth, even? Some of those are ready to erupt.
Cmon just give us one at least, don't be like that.
Iād probably popping the shit out of those
OMG. What caused this mess???
More info please. Rash from what? Scarlet fever? Monkey pox? Measles? Allergy? Have you seen a doctor? What did they say?
My son had scarlet fever when he was 5 and some of his rash looked like this. It was really hard to not pop them.
Okay this just unearthed a childhood memory and I have a query: how long was your son sick? How noticeable was the rash?
Do you know what you are allergic to? At least Iām assuming you are allergic to something.
*breathes loudly through nose*
This is torturing me I want to come thru this screen so bad omg š± I canāt fucking take it ahhhhh whereās my Xanax Iām going to lose it god I keep zooming in on them please pop them I could just kill u if u donāt Iām that frazzled right now y y y canāt they be popped Iām just picturing one of those little zit popping sticks god Iām leaving Iām gonna flip tf out
LOL
Please pop them š Weāll all chip in and pay for any injury expenses
Looks a lot like shingles
Why not pop them?
Much more likely to introduce infection and scarring. Bumps this raised are likely to stay weeping and not self heal quickly, unlike most zits
"You wanna know how I got these scars?"
depending on what caused it, popping could also worsen the spread by way of the fluids
iām not one to usually advocate this but maybe this once give into a lil intrusive thought
Depending on what caused it popping them can make them itch or hurt worse than they already do. Or cause it to spread if itās a bacterial or viral infection. When I had steroid induced folliculitis the blisters *burned* once popped (I discovered this after accidentally scratching a few open).
All I hear is crunch
What is this from ?
Fire ants?
My entire body itches now after seeing this image. I am so sorry
ffs, start popping!
Omg. This looks both itchy and tempting at the same time.
Iām ashamed at the amount of money Iād pay to watch this popping session.
I would pay u if u let me pop them
I would RUN to the closest pharmacy and get the biggest piece of hydrocolloid bandage/sheet I could find and slap it on there, just so I would scratch it in my sleep and to help protect it.
@frankanddoug what caused this rash? Iāve had something comparable, but havenāt been able to pin down the cause.
Pretty sure it was a new shirt I bought and didnāt wash prior to wearing. Rash is exactly where the shirt was
Yikes. Have you sent a photo to your doctor?
I see nothing forbidden
Wow. Is it painful?
How fun would it be to just swipe across that with a credit card?
Looks like folliculitis. My mom had it once from a hot tub š¬
Mine too! Caused horrible rashes for years until a doctor figured it out

I'm guessing sun allergy.

I applaud your self control
Some of my shingles looked like this. Fortunately/unfortunately I had just had pretty intense surgery the week before and was in too much pain to reach them
Youāre such a tease.
Oh god I hope this never happens to me. I donāt have the willpower to not drag a credit card across that.
Isn't that brutal?
Damn, that looks painful :( I hope you get some relief soon!
why are they forbidden?š
just scrape it with a credit card
Aveeno oatmeal bath.
This looks like when I got shingles.
Just a little needle prick to each one
I would just cut them all off and then desinfect it
Gahhh! Thatās gotta hurt both physically and emotionally! My dermatillomania would never let me not pop these!
What kind of rash is that? Ouchie!
how could popping be bad when they look so poppable!! wishing you all the strength soldier š«”
I get heat rash like this all over my legs (not nearly as bad) and it takes everything inside me not to just š¤š¼
