So, basically I have quite a few hotspots that I pick at which include my face, breast, thighs, shoulders, and armpits. The breast area in particular is the one that I pick at most as its easiest to pick at. Now when I pick, I tend to dig into the wound and basically excavate it in a sense. I find this extremely satisfying, but understand that I need help. Especially after a picking session I had last night.

So I picked through to the layer where stringy, hairlike stuff was able to be pulled out. I use a blacked removal tool that has a circle end and has a pointy end. Well, I managed to get so deep I hit the fat layer. I'm still in shock and disbelief I picked that deeply, but I'm not surprised. With my urge to dig and get everything out, it makes sense that eventually I would hit something like the fat layer.

I went to the urgent care because I didnt know if I needed to see a professional about it or just deal wih it myself as I haven't had an open would with the fat layer exposed. They prescribed me an antibiotic as they said it doesn't look infected, but it could definitely easily get infected and the antibiotics are to prevent that from happening. Then they put some type of yellow sticky cloth over the wound and dressed it with a gauze pad. I just had to share because I wonder if I'm the only who has picked that deeply on their breast or of others have.
