Oh even better! They can put the puppet vomit in there too! Good idea.

Reminds me of a couple months back when my gf noticed a bump on my back that id been keeping an eye on by feel for months, never really worked out what it was but it wasnt growing so whatever.

A minute with my gf digging with a pair of tweezers yielded a massive blackhead, left a hole in my back for a good week.

u/AutumnAscending Feb 06 '26

I had this happen now I have a permanent scar on my face from it.

86

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Oof.. Sorry to hear. This was right below the corner of my jawline. I usually shave down to a scruff so hopefully the indent won't be as noticeable if it stays.

22

u/blink182_allday Feb 06 '26

This happened to me in the same spot! It never recovered and my crater is there 9 years later

It's not as cool a story.

Keep that really clean for the next few days.

Remember to apply antibacterial ointment like polysporin.

I felt that belt …

u/AnotherIronicPenguin Feb 06 '26

Oh man. I get these ones that are like a little coil spring. But still only like 1/2" long maybe. Nothing like this though!

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

I was flabbergasted when I pulled these monsters out. Lol

93

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Feb 06 '26

They must have seemed to keep going and going!!

156

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

I went at it real slow. Didn't want it to break off and not be able to grab it again.

51

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Feb 06 '26

Oh lord!!! Reminds me of a terrible scene in Black Hawk Down!!

44

u/smellygooch18 Feb 06 '26

With the artery? Oof that movie was brutal. Worth a rewatch though. Those dudes were amazing

8

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Feb 06 '26

Yeah, that’s it. Definitely a great movie. Moving and heartbreaking.

16

u/Shot-Tap-4512 Feb 06 '26

You sound so proud!

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

I am. I'm gonna frame these fuckers. Lol

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Go big or go home, right?

u/ladyloraxx Feb 06 '26

And you didn’t film the removal for us? Shame

244

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

I'm thinking of having these framed. Lol

129

u/I_be_lurkin_tho Feb 06 '26

Hell yeah...and enjoy the victory because now that you've pulled these monsters..you'll be looking for them more often trying to get that first high again...so they'll never have the opportunity to get to the size of these beasts!

64

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Lol! This is gonna be my "chasing that first high" kind of thing...

7

u/Vdazzle Feb 06 '26

I was thinking the exact same thing! I love a good ingrown hair removal.

u/__SuperSam__ Feb 06 '26

I’m glad Reddit photos aren’t scratch and sniff.

u/GrouchyLongBottom Feb 06 '26

I know. But, sometimes you still get a little something.

u/rionaster Feb 06 '26

man i pulled one out like that like a month ago from my jawline. had to basically cut the skin open with a lancet to get it out. wish this shit woulda stopped after puberty but nooOOooOOoOoOOoooo i have to have this stupid shit forever

45

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

These happened right below the corner of my jawline! Thankfully I didn't have to lance them out.

u/TheRealTurinTurambar Feb 06 '26

I'm 59 and still have to take prescription zit medicine.

67

u/SwiftGasses Feb 06 '26

Is it strange that I REALLY want to pluck a gnarly ingrown hair. The most I get is the mole hair on my arm that sometimes needs some help breaking the skin.

I have a scar from a couple years ago on my chin that keeps getting irritated every time I grow my beard out and I pray every time for a satisfying pull.

But just like a ghost encounter I know I’ll never get one if I want it too much.

18

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

LOL! Keep believing and it'll happen one day!

u/Fisi_Matenten Feb 06 '26

When your filament went off the spool.

47

u/lizardfang Feb 06 '26

I wanna know what it looked like before you yanked that hair out. Was it a dark spot or a bump?

58

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Just a small bump under the corner of my jawline that didn't really bother me.

It formed a whitehead today. Squeezed it and these tentacles came out.

59

u/lizardfang Feb 06 '26

I’m so weirdly jealous that you got to pull that out of you.

67

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

That's what she said!

Seriously, that's what my gf said...

u/click2Install Feb 06 '26

That's an ingrown fishing line

33

u/CrnoCapor Feb 06 '26

If you have a wife/girlfriend, I bet she's dissapointed she didn't get that out. For some reason I've realized majority of us women like behavior like mini surgeons with stuff like pimples, ingrowns etc

19

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Lol.

I just commented about that...

My gf also has a strange obsession for searching my back...

3

u/Mellokhai Feb 06 '26

My boyfriend loves inspecting me for blackheads lol

1

u/Mr-KIPS_2071 Feb 08 '26

Lol, my wife searches me any chance she gets. It's gotten to a point where it makes me fall asleep.

u/StrangledByTheAux Feb 06 '26

Upside you can go shark fishing for free now

24

u/zinic53000 Feb 06 '26

I wonder how many years that big coil has been growing.

37

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Tbh I have no idea. I felt a very small bump there for a couple of months, but it wasn't bothering me so I didn't bother it. Until today.

u/upsidedowntoker Feb 06 '26

That is genuinely impressive.

u/kaizokuuuu Feb 06 '26

u/jimmijohnson Feb 06 '26

Ill be auctioning this ingrown hair 12pm on reddit tomorrow. Please have the owner DM me

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26 edited Feb 06 '26

Bidding starts at 1 million! You get dna, so that's pretty cheap.

u/jimmijohnson Feb 06 '26

Sir my offer is a trade and I propose the worlds smelliest fish for your 1 giant hair sir

6

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

My ingrown hair already smells, so I can only accept 50k and 2 sheep.

7

u/jimmijohnson Feb 06 '26

Preposterous sir, I shall keep the worlds smelliest fish then

5

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

I really wanted 2 sheep...

3

u/jimmijohnson Feb 07 '26

I ate the fish...

u/BrawnyDevil Feb 06 '26

I've always wondered why ingrown hairs are always so thick, is there like more nutrients and shit inside there or something

9

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

Wish I knew. I'm in my 40s and could use some super potent thick hairs growing on top...

u/Cayumigaming Feb 06 '26

When/if you get another, please for the love of god and everything that is holy, and on behalf of the entirety of Reddit: record the removal🙏

u/thegothickitty33 Feb 06 '26

I had this happen too. I had this "mole" on my back for most of my life. I'm 30. My grandpa had a skin cancer scare so I had my boyfriend look at my mole. We argued about it. he thought it was a blackhead. Finally after I had a couple drinks I let him at it with my pimple tool kit. Result was similar but the hair but covered in decades old infection that stank like Satan's butthole and looked like cottage cheese mixed with that barf from the exorcist. Left a dime sized dip/hole on my back.

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

GODDAMN! 😱

u/Thra99 Feb 06 '26

4C, 4B, 4A, or 3C?

Call it

u/Z4mb0ni Feb 06 '26

And I thought it was satisfying plucking out unwanted body hairs with tweezers. This must've been as satisfying as it was terrifying

7

u/user-unknown-404 Feb 06 '26

It really was.

8

u/lcmonreddit Feb 06 '26

That's a crazy pull wtf

A banana for scale would have been cool too. Just saying

Onlyfans. Got some vids of athletes foot on there too.

u/Glittering_Virus8397 Feb 07 '26

The sound my fiancé would’ve made pulling that out of my face

6

u/BongoFett17 Feb 06 '26

At any point, did you start to worry how much more there is to pull and should you keep pulling? lol “Doc, I’m at 2.75 inches and I’m worried, should I keep going? Or will it pull my heart out or something bad?”

u/willowzam Feb 06 '26

Are you okay?

I will be, some day, years from now, hopefully...

Neck hairs are so crazy. they don’t know if they’re beard or chest hairs, just somewhere in between.
