Lately, I've had a painful lump in my left earlobe. I get these quite often, it seems, and usually they disappear after a couple days. This one didn't go away, though, and instead sat there for about a week, becoming an uncomfortable annoyance. So last night I decided to try draining it.

Taking one of my mother's diabetes blood-tester needle dealies, I jabbed my earlobe multiple times, in front and in back. The pus didn't flow out, unfortunately, choosing to just sit in there. I managed to coax it all out after multiple squeezes, though.

Today my earlobe is flat but sore as hell.
