What you had was just a sebaceous cyst, no spiders involved. Basically an out of control whitehead. It happens when skin cells sluff off inwards. They start out white, and will eventually oxidize and turn black (blackhead). They often get infected and turn into a zit/boil.This sounds counterintuitive, but the best way to get rid of them is to stop using antibacterial soap, or anything on your skin that will compromise the good bacteria that live there. Those good bacteria on your skin are the part of your immune system that keeps zits and stuff from happening. And once destroyed it takes weeks to regenerate. So most people are out there walking around with literally a third of their immune system permanently missing. And of course it doesn't just protect you from MRSA. It protects you from anything you might touch, including viruses.</blockquote>
