internal debate
GQ: Not looking for medical advice, but wondering what these common things happening are or may be. Many here have experienced worse and discussed them. Not very good at being descriptive in many OP’s. GQ is out.
IMHO: Can’t really ask opinion as my descriptions (see above) may give the impression I’m shooting fire out my ass Cartman style.
Pit: Frustrating, but I’ve had a related issue happen for a little over a year and there is no ill effect. (Also, see the mention of not looking for a diagnosis).
MPSIMS: Maybe mention the situation and see if anyone else has experienced simialar and what they’ve done. With alittle cursing thrown in for good measure.

What the fuck is going on here? Zit related. And now a goddamn stye! Here’s the background.
About every 4 months or so, I develop a zit that seems to be my own little punishment in what seems pre-payment on a speed-pass to Heaven for my sins. The past three went like this. The first formed just below the corner of my lip this summer. It grew to about the diameter of 2 cm and was hard as a rock, but low-profile in it’s own way. I began to think it was a bad thing, then it formed a head and popped and went away. Over the next few weeks it shrank and is now unnoticeable unless you feel the skin. It was a zit. A cruel one.
Then, after that, about 2 months ago I sprouted one on the line of my cheek bone. Again, about 2 cm, hard as a pebble and low-profile. (It could be easily mistaken for a mole lacking the color). I started getting nervous
NOTE TO MODS!!!
and went to my doctor. He said it was acne and not to worry about it. Fine. I won’t worry about it. But I still want to know what the fuck it is and why it’s so friggin hard and occasionally painful when touched. So about 2 weeks ago it finally formed a head. Desperation to get rid of it led me to piercing it with a sterile needle.
I know the biological evil of acne, so I was very careful to keep the area and my hands clean.
So now it’s still there, but much smaller. And just as friggin hard. Like a peice of gravel embedded in my cheek. Or an alien. I’m leaning toward the second one.
4 days ago I noticed another of the pod people taking up residence in my eyebrow right at the bend into the bridge of my nose, And the fucker is growing. Hard as a goddamn rock, hurts if I even raise my eyebrows, and won’t form a head though I’ve used hot compresses a few times a day. This little fucker is breeding the overlord. I know it. But because it’s so low-profile, nobody can see it unless I googly-eye to pull the skin super taut.
And it’s now proven. Satan’s spawn is incubating in my fucking eyelid in what the “medical” types call a “cyste”. You see, it went from my cheek/lip area, up to the cheekbone, pulled an end-around to the eyebrow and button-hooked me in the eyelid. The medical-types can tell me it’s a simple acne problem. But when my eylid explodes in a raging torrent of evil upon you mortals, you will understand the fallacy of modern medicine. (No, not really, just getting the little bit of rage out of my system).
Let me forewarn you all: my eylid is the sad, horrid demise of mankind. It’s growing bigger, and growing angrier by the minute. I fear this will be the true end of mankind. I can feel it growing even at this moment. It’s beginning to affect my vision. Please, please, listen to me.

Should I fail there, I’ll launch my last-gasp effort from the rugged no-man’s-land delusioned folk refer to as the dermatologist’s office.
