That's because its infected you dunce.

Get whatever is left of your pathetic male tolerance for pain, a pair of pointy tweezers, antiseptic cream and a small towel you can get damp and heat it up in the microwave until its 'uncomfortably hot' but not enough to scald.
You will also need to sterilise the tweezers.
Get the hot towel directly on the area for about 5-10 minutes so the skin is soft.
Tweezer out the hair
Probably cry like a little bitch
Clean it up with a tissue and the antiseptic cream, cover it up so it doesn't get re-infected.

Also film it and post it to /r/popit

Lol, I actually started well ahead of time because it was due yesterday and I was in NYC for the weekend. I actually DID get the bulk of it done - just need to beef it up with more sources and finish the reference page. A couple hours work that I thought I wold be able to do Monday night when I expected to be home around 9 or 10, and not 130 in the morning. Plus I had to work yesterday at 7am.

I was just straight up with my teacher about it. Asked if I could hand it in by midnight last night and she was like "Omg no take another day..get some rest."

Super cool.

Great advice. I would recommend the same thing. You can skip the hot towel stuff and take a hot shower or bath instead. Your skin will be soft enough after that.
You won't cry like a little bitch, Lilith is so dramatic. But definitely make sure to use an antiseptic cream and cover it with a band-aid.

EDIT: If it's still red/purple, I would recommend you wait until it forms into a pustule (yuck) before you tweeze it out, it would hurt a lot less.

My teacher reminds me of the angry Turkish kebab cart owners I met in Turkey.

My goal in life is to take the most beautiful photos possible...

Then destroy them with horrible JPEG compression till they are almost unrecognizable. That'll learn'm.

i ate moose meat for the first time tonight. shits delicious!


maybe this year i will get a moose tag with my hunting license... probably not i dont have time for hunting anymore.

Did you have Moose Drool with it?


I only know that beer because one of the servers at work was named that. Was confused for a long time until I found out it was a beer.

no i only drink moose drool in the winter, well its a bounce between moose drool and cowboy coffee. i drink summer honey in the summer (all from the same brewery)

I get 2 cases a month for free from them so.... yeah no shortage of big sky brewery beer here

So I hear you guys can eat Bison over there, and it's amazing? Obviously not available here, but I really wanna try it.
