spyrophile

(noun) One who derives joy or pleasure from squeezing pimples, blackheads, and other sebaceous skin eruptions. From the Greek roots σπυρίς (spyris), meaning 'basket,' something hollow, or 'pimple;' and '-philia,' a love of or a fondness for.

Whilst considered repugnant by some people, spyrophilia is a pleasurable and usually harmless activity for many.

Contrast with 'dermatillomaniac,' an individual with a mental illness related to obsessive-compulsive disorder and which is characterised by repeated picking at one's own skin, resulting in areas of swollen or broken skin and causing significant disruption in one's life.

The success of Ron and Eloise's enduring friendship was due in no small part to the fact that each was a spyrophile who inordinately savoured the simple pleasure of squeezing the other's pimples and blackheads.
