why do people even do it? The scars left behind when you risk one that is not ready is a very bad thing.

you do realize that they can form in people with good hygiene. and sometimes are unnoticable untill they start causing pain or discomfort. which is why they can get pretty large

Yup I got a Pilonidal Cyst. Never noticed it until it was already large. Google it and you'd know why you wouldn't be able to tell that you have one until it's too late.

Had an ex GF that was a bit obsessed with it. I'd get a few on my back and if she saw them it was hellish. Crazy girl simply could not function knowing they were there. She loved to pick and groom like some kind of...... cat, yeah cat....

I don't get it. They must have hundreds of nasty videos on You Tube showing people popping blackheads and zits on their forehead, nose, inner ears, back, etc.. Why is this a popular subject?
actually that is the only way to properly make real excellent authentic white gravy......
