Blackheads are amazing!  They're so squiggly, squirmy-wormy, and, more times than not, so l-----o-----n-----g.  I once (back when I was going to graduate school in 1977) had the pleasure of getting close to a yard of blackhead material out of a single back cyst belonging to an old man.

He and his wife managed a motel where I was staying, and I was right around the age of their only child--a stillborn daughter--so they kinda fussed over me.

One morning, he came over to bring me breakfast in bed.

That was when I noticed his blackheads.

He was wearing a thin, white t-shirt, and I saw that his back had large bumps of different sizes on it that were making his t-shirt stick out in much the way that I can make the front of a t-shirt stand out.

So I asked him if those were blackheads, and he told me that they were.  I asked him if he would like for me to squeeze them, and he told me to go ahead because he couldn't reach them and his wife would like to see them gone without having to be grossed out by them (by squeezing them herself)--otherwords, meeting a certifiable zit-head was going to improve their marriage.  LOL

Well, I went right to work on him--and let me tell you that the biggest one on his back was probably two inches across and rose up about 3/4 of an inch with a nice, big pore in the center!

What joy!!!

I couldn't believe all of the gook that came out of there!  It broke off in pieces, but, if put together as one, it would have been over two feet long!

The longest complete piece probably measured about six inches or more!

And, of course, there were all of the OTHER blackheads to mess around with as well!  I had a really fun morning!

When he told his wife about the "tip" he received for the breakfast, she got a big kick out of that and thanked me later for getting rid of "those horrible things."

Blackheads are the best, so much better then a plain old pimple.  Blackheads require some thought and a bit more work, with very satisfying results.  My favorite picture on this site is the guy's back that is covered with massive blackheads.  I'd pay to pop those out.

Welcome to our merry group!  Do you love blackheads, have a lot of them, or both?
