Is it normal that i pop and eat the pus out of my zits?

My sister used to pop and eat the pus filled zits that multiplied all over her face during adolescence, as a result years later her face looks absolutely ravished. I was lucky enough to not have acne afflictions on my face but zits pop up from time to time on other regions of my body namely my back and shoulders. I also tend to eat the rare pus that I manage to squeeze out of my nose and ingrown hairs.

I look forward to this because I enjoy popping and then (after a few photos for the larger ones) eating the pus out of said zits. Honestly they typically have a salty moist taste that reminds me of the beef in fast food. I'm not sure whether I enjoy the actual relief I feel from the pus shooting out of my skin or digesting it, whatever the case after I eat it the taste is stuck in my throat and leaves me wanting more.

I don't know of anyone else who eats them although plenty of people who enjoy watching the popping videos you see all over the internet.

Is it normal?

    I think it's quite normal. I also look forward popping them like you do. It's really a test of patience, cause the longer I wait the better they'll be to pop, but I often just can't wait.
    And naturally I eat my reward.

    ...Is it THAT good?

    I mean, it's not good for health, but taste. Is it? Oh, I won't try it, though... Sorry.

  • Watching zits getting popped is awesome, but eating the pus crosses some invisible line

      I suspect until a) they work out what the search bar does/learn to read the post suggestions that pop up next to the story/poll as you write or b) the moderators do their fuckin jobs.

      So....never?

    Apparently we have a natural urge to consume our own snot because it helps our immune systems. I think it's called mucophagia or something. Most adults resist these urges until they go XD But there is nothing natural or beneficial about consuming pus. Most people are naturally revolted by it.

    I do this only to my face and shoulders but I don't think I've ever have or ever will think of it in such loving terms. It is not THAT great. Also, popping videos are disgusting. I'm a hypocrite because thinking about someone else doing it to themselves grosses me out.

    Totally normal!

    I eat my pus all the time and have never had a bad reaction. Most of the time it's tasteless.

    The best one I ever had...
    About a year ago, as I was washing myself in the shower I felt a small bump on my crotch, just to the left of the base of my penis. It was tender to the touch so I assumed it was a pimple. I tried to pop it right then, but when I squeezed I noticed that it was very hard and dense, not soft and malleable like a normal pimple. It also increased in pain as I pinched it and tried to get it to burst.

    But no luck.

    So after the shower, I dried myself off and tried to part my pubic hair so that I could get a better look at it. It was the size of a large pea but I couldn't see a white or black head on it. I tried to squeeze again but nothing came out.

    So I waited a day. The next morning I parted my pubic hair again and looked for a head. Still nothing, but it didn't stop me from trying to pop it one more time. No pus, just pain, so I left it alone. The next morning I could still feel it there, and this time to get a better look I first trimmed and then completely shaved the pubic hair on and around the pimple.

    It was pretty fascinating. There was just a bump, but no discoloration and still no white or black head. I squeezed again and it still felt very hard, like it was filled with solid matter and not regular pus.

    This continued for several days. I kept my pubic hair shaved close so I could closely monitor the bump. It never changed -- didn't get bigger or smaller or change color. Finally, almost a week after I first noticed it, standing nude in front of the mirror after I got out of the shower, I squeezed again. This time, the pimple (or boil or cystic acne or whatever it was) was ready to empty.

    A tiny drop of pus "jumped" from the blemish with enough force to fly in an arc and land on the mirror. I was pretty amazed by that but I quickly realized that the pimple still had plenty more inside of it. It was as large as it had ever been.

    I was curious how much might come out, so I cupped my left hand about an inch below the pimple and began to squeeze with my right hand using my thumb and forefinger. I could actually *feel* the pus rushing between my fingers as it emptied from the pimple. A thick dollop of pus began to collect in my left palm. It appeared to be a brighter shade of white than my usual pus, and as it gathered in my palm the small pile of pus grew to the size of a large grape and it layered itself like whipped cream on top of a bowl of pudding.

    It was by far the most pus I've ever discharged from a single pimple.

    I examined the source of the pus once more and noticed a small amount of blood, signaling to me that the flood of pus was done.

    It was pretty amazing, but of course I had to laugh when I looked up at the mirror to see myself standing fully nude, slightly bow-legged, and cradling a significant collection of pus in my left palm.

    I really tried to savor the moment. To think that so much pus had been waiting to escape from a single blemish, as well as how hard it felt while still packed inside, I knew that this was a zit that I would always remember.

    As I lifted my left hand up toward my mouth I could feel the warmth of the pus in my palm. Then I carefully licked the pile of pus and tried to gather it all on my tongue. I did a pretty good job, and then stared at my pus-covered tongue in the mirror.

    The taste was definitely more sour than the pus from my usual pimples, but I easily swallowed it all, then licked my palm clean of the remaining pus.

    Epilogue: I didn't see any residual scarring at the spot where the imbedded pimple had finally burst, and eventually my pubic hair grew back and covered the area. I know that the conventional wisdom tells us not to try to squeeze these, but the pimple never came back so I don't see why trying to pop these is a bad idea.

    I hope this helps!
