The Scarlet Pimple

People become aware of the thing mostly by happenstance, casually, a brush of the hand perhaps, suddenly aware of a slight soreness. It's usually right where you don't want it—on the face—maybe right on the tip of your nose like a beacon or a bright red maraschino cherry. Next comes the blind investigation with the plodding fingers, confirming its location and testing its size, followed by visual confirmation, which in a man's case usually means going to the bathroom mirror and having a look. “What the hell are you doing here,” we say, “I'm too old for you.”

My discovery was slightly different. I didn't notice it with a touch of the hand but rather when I stood up from my easy chair. There was the familiar soreness that told me immediately that I had a pimple and that it was a doozy. The soreness was more than one would suspect and I knew I was in for a long haul, because the pimple was not on my face, but right smack dab on my ass. In the middle of my right butt cheek, to be exact.


Mirror, Mirror, on the Wall

The pimples on your face are attention seekers, longing to draw the stares of friends and strangers alike. They stand up for everyone to see and loudly declare, “Look at me. I'm a pimple.” But a pimple on your butt, oh, pimples on your butt are in hiding. They are secretive, subversive. Assassins in the dark. Guerrillas seeking to overthrow the government of you. I reached down to feel the thing lightly, just barely brushing it with my fingertips. It didn't seem so large, but darn, it sure was sore.

I proceeded to the bathroom mirror and, pulling my pants down to expose my bottom, twisted around only to discover that I couldn't see the blasted thing. I would need a hand mirror. I could take the hand mirror and hold it up to the pimple, angle the reflection into the big mirror, and then see the pimple and a section of my keister there, enlarged and magnified. The very same move that Archimedes discovered when he had a pimple on his butt. But I wasn't about to do that. Turns out, I am so homophobic that I won't even look at my own naked ass in a mirror, at least not in close-up Technicolor .

The Titanic Pustule

I felt it again, this time delicately pressing my fingers into the flesh surrounding the offending pustule. Oh my God. Before, all I had felt was the proverbial “tip of the iceberg.” That was nothing. No, this was a subterranean nightmare. Lurking underneath the surface, the giant mass was the size of a golf ball and just about as hard. I came to the shattering realization that this was only the beginning, that it was actually two pimples merged into one, grown together like Siamese twins. One body with two souls in a conspiratorial embrace of evil and malevolence. This sucker was going to be around for awhile, and it was going to get larger still.

The next several days were painful ones. There was no escaping it. Sit down and it was there. Stand up and it was there. I tried to keep my weight shifted to my left side when I moved, especially when sitting down or standing up, but I could never avoid it totally. Just the skin moving irritated it. I began walking like a cross between Charlie Chaplin and a duck. Sleeping proved especially difficult. I could get a little shut eye if I slept on my left side, but if rolled over onto my back the pain was excruciating, which would wake me up and I'd have to transfer my painful posterior back to the easy chair, carefully lowering myself left cheek first, awake for the duration.

A Circus Life For Me

Getting out of bed took special skill. I exit my bed on the right side, but the zit complicated the issue. Picture me, if you will, getting up into a one-cheek sitting position facing the opposite way, then spinning while remaining on my left bun, and kind of doing a cheek-hop to standing move without putting any weight on the right cheek or waking my butt guest. It was Cirque De Soleil quality contortion and acrobatics. I never got it just right, but I never stopped trying.

For days, it persisted, following me around, a private eye on a tail. Finally, mercifully, the thing blew. It blew like a dormant volcano blows, surprisingly, inexplicably furious and violent. All that pressure released, and along with it, the gunk. and the pain...mostly.

I slept that night like a baby. Like a baby without a pimple on his butt. I had sweet dreams of maraschino cherries, strawberries and shiny red apples, the pimple from hell nothing but a faraway phantasm on a bun.

Not sure how I feel about being first to comment on this, Christoph! But it explains where you've been the last few days -- hiding out in embarrassment and pain:-).

I will tell you my cringe level intensified with every excruciating phrase. Who among us hasn't had this exact experience? It seems to me that adult pimples make up in agongy what they lack in frequency. I don't recall teen zits ever being so torturous.

I could share much more on the subject, but would prefer others lower the bar first! Good read, as always. MM

Imagine sweating to die to scratch in the middle of a conference, and just when it becomes unbrearable your finger goes to caress and screetch between the cheeks. I'm sure that's a curse! B/w I don't really know why the mosquitos bite only the most unusual of all places ... the cleavage is the worst of all I tell ya! *saunters off to the next conference*

OMG by the time I got to "The Circus Life for Me" I couldn't contain myself! Now I KNOW that it wasn't the size of a golf ball and that you are only exaggerating. That first photo is tremendously painful. I really am going to have a hard time looking at that one when it gets on the first page of hot hubs, just so you know. Fantastic. I am sooooo sorry. And I am soooo laughting at you, with you?, no, at you I think. Unless you're laughing too. In that case, probably both. At any rate, I'm pretty sure I could read this over and over and still achieve the same initial reaction. I am DEFINITELY passing this one along! Thanks for the entertainment and info.

Shalini: Well, thanks for that, but I'm sure there are some who would disagree (and too bad for them!) ha,ha!

naz: That does indeed sound like an uncomfortable situation. My experience would not be so much mosquito bites but poison ivy. I know what you mean about the scratching "around" it. Poison ivy does that too...it's a trick. It gets you to scratch nearby and slowly you move to the offending bite or rash and you're just scratching away before you realize what has happened. If you need help scratching, I'm available.

Frieda: Thanks for coming by. Tweezers, yes, but how am I to apply said tweezers to an area of my posterier I cannot even see? Hmmmm? We can't all have a wife like Tamcor who will pop them for you and then make you cupcakes. And you may laugh AT me. I am used to it. The children taunted me, "Pimple butt, pimple butt!" I can handle it. Thanks for saying hello, Freida.

Hi Christoph,

Well, I can honestly say I have never had the painful experience of a pimple on my butt.  However, at my age (bm, beyond menopause), I still get an occasional one usually on my upper lip right next to my nose.  Ridiculous, if you ask me!  I can thank someone above that at least mine is never the size of a golf ball.  I think on the face, that would be rather disconcerting LOL.

I'm glad it came out ok. This explains why you haven't sat down to write in a while. Maybe you could expand on this topic and explain, step by step, the gyrations and maneuvers you had to endure to get anything done. Could even include a home-made video :)

Your choice of topics never cease to amuse me, so thanks for that :)

Ok you guys.  Let me see if I have this pictured correctly.  Me, taking Christoph's place (an actress?  I hardly think so), and, wearing the infamous hat?  No, no, does not compute.  Here's how I picture it.  Christoph, in his altogether and the hat, Sally directing, and me behind the camera.  However, for a small fee, I could be tempted to wear the hat, but that would mean one of you would have to get behind the camera.  We can't forget the props, well, we'd really only need a chair so the contortions and gyrations could be captured for all posterity.  And Christoph, since you are so experienced in the moves necessary to sit, you could be my coach LOL

Oh, and by the way, I just spent the last 30 minutes searching for an appropriate video, but all I found was popping zits. So you see, Christoph? You must make this video :)

Whaddya think?

Hi Cr screamingly funny take on a painful event. BTW were you ever a porn star? The reason I ask is because in every porn movie i ever saw, the doee or the doer had a clearly visible zit (or boil )on their respective butt cheek!

You, Trish, are a Producer!

So, a producer, hmm?  Just think!  I'll produce the video and we'll all be famous!  You'll be out there on YouTube for all the world to see LOL.  Nah, I wouldn't do that to you, you're much too sweet and shy :)

And gee, all this flattery will make this gal get a big head!

You never cease to amaze me with your ideas for hubs Christoph, and as always they are sheer genius and full of humour, (this being no exception). I found myself both giggling and cringing all the way through reading it, but it was impossible to stop. It reminded me a little of a true story my Husband told me about a friend of his who was enjoying a night of intimacy with a lady he had just met. At one point during their 'liason', the chap said he was sucking on a certain part of the ladies anatomy (I'll give you a clue, it was the top half), when a juicy fluid filled his mouth. Thinking it was some kind of fluid women can produce when excited he rather enjoyed the experience. That is, until the next morning when he awoke to see her returning naked from the bathroom with a huge burst boil on one breast!!!!!! I was chucking up for days after he told me this story.

So glad you got to the bottom of things Christoph - i don't know how you do it but "You caught me. I use to perform under the name Richard Plunger" is totally priceless -still laughing and of course crying for your pain!!!

I think if you have a two headed pimple it is neither a pimple nor a boil but a carbuncle...did you take anti biotic - nasty painful things that they are...fyi (and maybe you don't really wish to read this) from wikipaedia "A carbuncle is an abscess larger than a boil, usually with one or more openings draining pus onto the skin." cheers

and for misty - YUCK YUCK YUCK - poor chap....vile!! I only hope she felt better though....

AJcor: You got it! Requires a little thought. Actually, there were no heads. It was just a boil, plain and simple. It seemed like a pimple at first. I didn't want to make the story too complicated. So glad you came by and shared your knowledge with all of us!

Tamcor: I'd give you some of my Pepto but I'm gonna need the whole bottle! I think I'll make a good old fashioned bicarbonate of soda too!

Very creative hub and I liked the use of the word doozy. i find that when shave with a dull blad i get pimples. best to just spend the money to use a new gilette blade every few weeks. both of my parents are well into their 60s and they still get zits. so, they'll be around for a long time to come! cheers, dawei888

Loved the story, didn't read all the comments but for some stupid reason I read Misty's comment and I'm joining the eewwww club too. That's just nasty!!!

I can sympathize with you CR, I've had one too and obviously it was very painful because the memory of it is still imprinted on my mind like it happened yesterday. Glad you got healed up and your backside is all minty fresh or whatever now. I am slightly confused about dawei888's comment. I am wondering why he assumes that you got a boil on your butt from shaving. I am going to just imagine that you guys must have known each other from your porn days that was witnessed by Sixtyorso, that way I will only have one nightmare tonight and not two. (thanks Cindy)

Christoph Reilly  says:

Gwendymom: ha,ha! I didn't get that from Dawei's comment. I thought he was just saying he gets pimple's too, and his he gets from using a dull razor blades (which causes ingrown hairs and thusly, pimples). Do you think he wants to shave my butt? My butt is not in need of shaving and never was. I have the bottom of a baby! Lol!

CR, I don't know if you should ask him, he might and then what would you do? Too risky if you ask me, I would just nair it or something. Yeah, he might have been saying that, as for the smooth as a babys bottom, I don't know but I'll ask sixty. I'm sure he'll tell me.

I will confess the only place I get pimples is on me arse.  They are more painful than on one's face, perhaps since we don't sit on our faces.  They can take a concerted effort to pop, but if one is determined, the job can be accomplished.  Unfortunately, the cure is oft times worse than the original affliction.  Thank you for bringing into the light of day what many suffer with in silence.

This is such a well written story! I would normally not even consider reading a story about a butt pimple, but you made it so humorous and almost not gross at all. Still, a little gross, considering it is an ass zit we are talking about. But overall I was so impressed with your style of writing! Thanks for the laugh!

OMG, I am not sure what is more funny, yhe original hub, or the bloody comments section. Thia hub, & the comments have brightened up my day no end. I totyally agree that adult zits are so much worse than the teenage zit. Face zits are not good at all, & butt zits are even worse. Worse than all of those is the zit on the frontal private zones. I am not putting peroxide any where near that one !

Oh my world, this was goddamn hilarious! I get em there sometimes too, and yep the eruption hurts like hell... and then all the pain is gone once the sucker is drained. I heard a rumor that conditioner or shampoo causes it. Like when you shower and don't get off all the suds. Its what I heard though... I never thought something that was supposed to clean you... could actually harm you. : )

Cristoph, after reading about your ginormous ass pimple, I feel you and I are kindred spirits. Nothing excites me more than crossing that line...you know the one. Whether it's pimples, pooping, pubic hair, or pap smears, we can all relate, even if these topics are taboo.

So, I wanted you to know that you've inspired me to write what I really think about. No more nice Cheeky Chick...from now on, it's Cheeky Chick UNLEASHED! Thanks for opening up the flood gates!

And, by the way...cupcakes or no cupcakes, I LOVE to pop a good pimple! It's a triumphant experience. Give me a good white head to pop, and I'm a happy girl!

Love ya!
