He had a somewhat large lump on the back of his neck for more than a decade. It wasn’t really noticeable and it didn’t hurt.
That is, until it did start hurting, turning red and angry, and growing multiple whiteheads. It started to hurt even to tilt his head back because of all the pressure.
The reason this became a story and video instead of a trip to the doctor is that, at the time, his wife and he were working in rural Laos and didn’t have ready access to medical care, not least because of the language barrier.
So,they purchased from a convenience store some gauze, isopropyl alcohol, and a purpose-built zit remover with a lancet on one end and a ring on the other.
His wife started “popping” what they were joking must have been the biggest zit in the world. Pus started coming out from several pores with each squeeze. But it hurted, so he started to squeeze it harder.
