Oh. My. God.
This is NOT how I wanted to earn my footnote in history!
What is it, by the way, that keeps a whitehead white and in place? Sometimes you get those things in the crease of your nose and you don’t know how on earth that stuff is staying in there - is it some kind of membrane or something?
“Oh. My. God.” is just about exactly what people say when I show them that thread, and your posts.
I’m afraid you’re stuck with being famous for having that monstrosity.
I’m just waiting for someone in real life who hears that story to ask me to display the scar as evidence. Which is largely impossible - I have trouble finding it, and I know exactly where it is.
I do, I don’t pop them, I scrub first them apply gobs of acne cream. They usually dry up in one day. I heard toothpaste is good for drying them up but I haven’t tried that yet.
I guess I’m the only one that uses a glowing ember, huh?
I use a prescription acne cream, and a lot of stridex pads.
You know what honks me off? I’m 38 years old and I have gray hair in my van dyke and yet I still get the occasional zit.
There should be some sort of fundamental law of the universe that says a person shouldn’t have gray hair and acne at the same time.
Hell, I should send you my photo. I’m about 25-33% grey, and I still get zits on a regular basis. My DAD still gets zits.
On the other hand, I just turned 52, and my face is almost completely wrinkle free. I have the very beginnings of crowsfeet, the beginnings of laugh lines around my mouth, and two tiny lines between my eyebrows, but that’s about it.
Yes, almost all of mine are just ingrown hairs from shaving my face.
