What's the damned point?

[KillerMuffin]

Okay, so I have a pimple. This isn't a major cause for concern, it's not like I'm trying to pick anyone up. Right? Wrong. My friends at Wallyhell insist that it's a major disaster, after all we're in that middle of the week sojerboys go to walmart thing. I guess they didn't know that the clubs are open all week? Anyway, I let them talk me into buying this goop. It's green. It smells funny. It cost me six bucks and some change. The upside is that it's called "Mudd" and I really like mud. Even if it's green and supposed to smell like the ocean.

So I got home, read the directions and thought, wow, non-comedigenic. DCL would hate that since he's got to go for funny baby. Ha ha. I followed package directions and slapped the stuff on. I scared the hell out of my child and when the StealthMutt snuck up and licked my face it started gagging. This is not a good thing. Maybe it is, the dog might quit licking my face. I know where that tounge has been and a brillo pad is all that makes my skin feel less contaminated.

Anyway, I could feel this goop pulling at the crap in my skin and thought, wow, this is great stuff! It'll pull all that dirt out and I'll feel great, even if it did cost six bucks plus change. I get a 10 percent discount that works out to less than 3 cents after sales tax. Damned thing, I don't even use the local hospital. This was great up until it really started to dry up. They didn't tell me this crap pulled painfully tight to itself, yanking your poor, defenseless skin along with it. I ran howling, well as much as one can howl when one can't move one's lips, through the house. Not because it hurt that much, but because I can. The other mutt, GallopingHeardofElephants, followed me around howling too. The StudMuffin thought I was having a seizure or a heart attack. I couldn't speak so I couldn't reassure him that this green goop from hell was ripping my face off and I was really fine. So I howled and ran around more. Hey, it's amusing.

Finally this stuff dried. It took like 25 freaking minutes, no, actually, that was me getting engrossed in my writing. Well, after about 25 minutes I noticed it was dry and the pain had faded to a dull ache. So it was time to wash it off. I imagined cool relief as the washcloth gently soothed the goop away with deliciously cool water. Of course not. The package direction didn't mention that you had to sandblast the crap off. And gawd forbid if you get it in your hair. This gave me another great excuse to run around around the house howling. You'd think that after 12 years the Stud would be used to this sort of behavior. The man never learns. I don't think my face will forgive me either.

It's been about half an hour since I got all that crap off. My skin feels hello wonderful now. Cleaner than after a good scouring post-StealthMuttLicking. I may do it again in a couple of days. I probably will, I'll forget the bad stuff by tomorrow morning and will deny that I ever ran around baying at the ceiling. Muffins don't behave in such an undignified manner. Humph. Of all the nerve, accusing me of acting like some crazed lunatic over a little bit of face goop.

Oh nevermind. I forgot what my point was anyway.

 

[Never]

Did it get rid of the pimple?

 

[KillerMuffin]

I forgot to check. Do you see one?

 

[Problem Child]

Are you talking about that one about 3" from the trigger guard on the left cheek?

 

[Starfish]

And the Peel of shit is even better.... leaving you with that lovely exposed face muscle look.

Your zit will wither away and die, just so it won't have to be around to bare another episode in two days.

 

[KillerMuffin]

It's on my face. Whose going to notice a pimple on my ass at Wallyhell? Geeeeeewhiz. I only strip down at Home Depot in front of the DeWalt 3/8" powerdrills and the SnapOn delivery truck after I've duct taped the SnapOn guy into the bathroom. He's ugly.

 

[Silverlily]

No mask is as bad as those pore strips. I swear that stuff is really duct tape in disguise. Of course it removes impurities, it removes most of your skin with it!

 

[Problem Child]

Did somebody say duct tape?

Test patches.

Test patches are the way to go.
I'm a big believer in test patches (now).

That said, what's it's name, this green goop?
I love doing home facials.

 

[Starfish]

Ouch. Stupid bitch.

 

[Never]

Just get a cloth and stick it in scalding hot water, apply the cloth to your pimple until it comes to a head, pop - keep on squeezing it until it bleeds, rinse lightly and jab a Q-tip covered in hydroperoxide into the wound. No pimple and after another day no scar or red mark. Of course, you are not allowed to scream during any of this of treatment.

 

[Silverlily]

ouch

Apparently Never learned to give facials from the same place she learned to give massages.

 

[Never]

Everything of worth involves a bit of suffering.

 

[Laurel]

Am I wrong, or didn't all the books say that pimples were supposed to STOP happening after you went through puberty?

I mean, wtf? My boobs stop growing, but I still wake up three days before my period with Mt. St. Helens on my chin? There is no justice.

 

[Never]

Not at all.
Pimples are just white blood cells attacking a lump of bacteria caught under your skin by a hardening of the oil covering your pores.
As long as you have oil on your skin, bacreria and white blood cels you'll have pimples.


What I want to know is why every month the same three tiny pimples appear in the same spots on my chin.

 

[scylis]

you think having one on your face is bad?!? try getting one where i've have the WORST ones i've ever had! oh... wait.. you're not a guy.. hmm...

think black dome with dark greenish tan puss and pain! HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, SCREAMING PAIN!! whenever you move! and then there's an open sore for a few days, though that actually feels sorta good, but only b/c the pain is less! good god, i thought i had an STD! (the only thing that ruled that out was the fact that my right hand can't give me an STD) something was just fucked up, lemmie tell you!









you probably didn't need to or want to hear all that...
ummm.... sorry!!

The Acne that females get on our chins is related to the hormone shift right around our time of the month. Calcium supplements reduce it, and there are certain things you can do to get rid of a pimple over night (aside from the raither PAINFUL, but effective, method Never posted) generally, the over night patches (including the liquid patches) that Neutrogina, Biore, and Ponds make work like a charm. Tea Tree oil also works, but use a moisterizer afterwards, the stuff dries out your skin fast. If you simply want to hide a pimple, use a touch of green makeup (available at Longs from Perscriptives Brand) and then some conceler, follow up with the Blue Translucent powder by Johnston & Johnston's Clean and Clear line and keep the powder with you for touch ups. The Greens and Blues reduce the redness, and the powder hides the shine with no "made up" look, the evening out of the make up will reduce the effect. One of the ways to get that clean feeling KillerMuffin descibed without taking off the layers of skin or using products that you need a paint scraper to get off is to take a towel, get it to be fairly damp and put it on your face, you open your pores and draw out the dirt, then use a mild exfoliant (The Body Shop's Japanese Washing Grains work wonderfully) and then apply a gentle moisterizer. If you want a great one, the Body Shop's Body Butter works, and if you want one that stops acne Clean and Clear makes one. That help?

 

[Never]

scylis, it sounds as if that pimple was infected; even if you were only intimate with your right had you should have seen a doctor about that.

 

[*Lazer*]

Honest to God if you just put a dab of toothpaste on the zit it will usually dry up by morning. It works and you can smell minty fresh. Do not squeeze the zit it will cause scarring on most people.

 

[LadyDarkFire]

Mainly if you just wait until a zit comes to a head and use a warm wet towel to soften the matirial and open the pore, you can generally take the head off a zit by washing it with a mild exfoliant and express it, but this can cause some scarring. Usually, just shrinking it with other medicines is best, and with toothpaste you run the risk of clogging pores, and the heavy consistency of it can generally make it hard to wash off. The patches that are sold for over night treatment also prevent one thing that toothpaste runs the risk of, a marked pillow case. The clear gel ones that Biore makes dry to a liquid bandage and peel off in the morning, and the ones that look like a bandage are the best in my opinion since they are just put it on, go to bed, and it does not leave anything in the morning, plus, leaves other pores that have been covered with less build up of oil in them. Again Calcium suppliments really work on hormone induced Acne, where meds to prevent and heal won't work as well as they will on other types of acne, and if you don't want to pay for something really expensive, a couple of Tums daily do work as well (no side effects really occur since it is mainly calcium). If you really want to try out the toothpaste, I have been told that Crest with Baking Soda works best.

Ugh...Pimples.....

I swear my face breaks out around that monthly time and no sooner does it start to clear up its that time AGAIN! I usually get them in all the right places too, chin, nose and forhead near my hair line. They wouldn't be that bad but considering I can't stand them I usually push and pull my skin until I pop the damn things. Which leaves a nice giant red/bleeding spot on my face for days. Can't help it, I feel if I can get to them as soon as possible they will go away faster..... :rollseyes:

Calcium suppliments do what the popping would do if it were an ideal world, clears them up faster. And the night patches give you the same fast removal, most of the zits (aside from the ones on your chin, which are the hormones instead of the extra oil your body produces around the time of the month) will clear up in one night. And all else fails, if you really want to know you are getting them out, just take a bowl of steaming water and do what do you if you have a cold, sit over it with the steam trapped in by a towel. Generally the zits will clear up quick, if not weep from the heat and humidity.
