and thats why if you have a zit, pimple, or other subcuteaneous infection (like a boil) it is better to lance it than to pop it. its easy, and it doesnt hurt. i used to have acne pretty bad, and i would pop them, but it just seemed to create more. i read that (see above) somewhere, and i started using a sterilized needle to poke a hole, and then squeeze, and my acne started to clear up. it works, seriously.
glad i could help, man.
as an aside, in kosovo we sometimes didnt have any antibacterial agents, or hydrogen peroxide. in that situation, the doc i was with would use (get this) bleach. he said it would hurt, obviously, but there isnt a human germ alive that doesnt get killed in bleach.
