How do you self-extract?

I have read a bunch of posts, but I don't understand the basic process of cutting into it. I understand that the goal is to get the core and that there will be blood. But... how do you cut into it? This seems like such a stupid question, but thank you for any help!

3.5 weeks to self-treat before derm visit. What would you do?

The title says it. There are maybe 10-15 currently in a few places on my body. It started with one maybe 6 months ago. Some have popped on their own and healed up, but some have been around most of that time.

I'm kind of afraid to cut them / extract the core, but I'm ready to do it bc I'm so sick of it. And not thrilled with the idea of a derm having to treat them in that area either.

So with 3.5 weeks until the derm appt (a doc new to me), what would you do now?

Effect of subbing ReString Zero for HyperG Soft? (Hybrid with Diadem Evolution)

I'm coming off a 2.5 month injury rehab and need to restring. I've been using a hybrid of Hyper G Soft in the mains with Diadem Evolution (17g for both). I had picked up some ReString Zero (17g) just before the injury -- just wanting to play around with a different setup. So has anyone subbed Zero for Hyper G Soft? I'm wondering if this is a good move now and what the difference will be. Wouldn't mind some more spin, but arm friendly is a priority too.

For background: I used to use a multi hybrid setup but was breaking strings within days. I know multi would be arm friendly, but I need more durability than that. So I string this with a low tension, like 45-47.

Recovering from a lingering hand/wrist injury (from a fall, not from technique, lol).
