Well I've got this zit on my nose. And it hurts like crazy and I don't even touch it. Why does it hurt more on my nose then another part of my face?

Probably because the nose is packed with nerve endings. People tended to complain more about the pain of nose piercings than, say, ears.

It's common misconception that Zit Fairys are a myth.

Truth be told, the zits on your nose are packed to the hilt with Zit Fairys.

The pain ?...bad isn't it ?...Blame that on people who walk into walls !

Yep !....word got round the Zit Fairy community that you do not want to be a Zit Fairy on someones nose without protection from walls.
The pain you feel is the construction of a Zit Dome !..it's hard !..it's tough...and in constructing such a structure the Zit Fairys (as mentioned by JnA above) use the nerve ends of your nose as anchors and foundations for the Zit Dome !...It serves to shield against collisions and also as a guard against scratching !

This is true.

Well that makes perfect sense.  Thanks for clearing that up!
