No I dont want to use sewing needles, I want the needles like those in injection needles..

and no I am not a junkie, I just need the needle to poke my friggin enormous acne so that the white thing can come out
 
If you have acne that's so bad you're considering lancing it (dunno how well that would work, low pressure + thick fluid...) perhaps you should see a doctor?

why cant you just sterilize a sewing needle?
im sure a medical supply store will have what you need.

i would advice not doing that, though. i didnt have acne bad, but i squeezed and popped alot of them when i had them and now i have some open pores on my face and nose.
its much worse than acne.

 
Just go ask the pharmacy for a pack of 1 cc syringes. Most will sell them to you, but some states require a prescription.

sweing needle does not have a whole in the inside, so I guess its not as good

Enlighten me as to the advantages of a needle with a hole in it for popping zits.

Edit: question seemed ackward.

What advantage do you feel that a hole in the needle would give you?

it provides a place for the blood to flow...

maybe it doesnt do anything at all

I think you probably shouldn't probe deeply enough for it to bleed excessively if you're lancing a zit.
 
Is this a blister or a zit? If it is a zit use a hot compress and it will help draw the puss and crap to the surface so it will be easier to pop. If it is a blister then any needle will do. After you pop it put some neosporine (sp) on it to help it heal and not get infected. If you don't have that listerine will do.

shudder. unless you're going for the special baron treats, a needle will suffice.

but i can't imagine a dermatologist ever recommending lancing a zit.
 
You are talking about a tuberculin syringe, you could probably find some with google. I recommend you don't go poking yourself with them though, you are asking for an even bigger infection.
 
i've had zits where the pressure builds up so much it hurts (like on my neck) and the only way to get releive it is to use a needle
