Pimples

It must be that time for PMS or very near that time. Each month I get one big annoying pimple that is no annoying. Sometimes I get more than 1 but where it shows up, it will be a lone pimple. I hate it. You would think that when you hit your 40's that whole acne thing would be over but it is not. In fact sometimes, I think it may be worst than when I was a teen. Normally that one lone pimple will show up on my face near the jawline, or one loan pimple on my nose and it will not act like a normal pimple. No.. it has to be giant in size and it will not come to a head for a very lone time. It just gets bigger and bigger and it hurts.

I am an avid user of masks and exfoliatants, so when that one loan pimple shows up, I work extra on those areas. I mask it twice a day hoping to drawn it out. Nothing works. I then becomes most painful. I still continue to mask it 2 times aday to help it come to a head. Finally when I think it will never go away and it may be there for at leat a week just hanging out, growing, it looks like it may finally get a head on it. Still it is not enought. So I continue the masking and exfoliating. Finally it will come to a head and I surgically(( with a sterilized needle and peroxide)) puncture it to get rid of it. That is normally such a relief because the skin around is swollen and the release of pressure will end all the pain. Then I can work on healing it. It must be that time because several lone pimples have just cropped up. When I am stressed then several will come and not just the one. I just got rid of a loan pimple that was near the corner of my eye in the very soft skin aroudn the eye. It was there for a week and it was the most painful ever.

Whoever heard of a pimple just under the eye..not on the face, but in the eye socket area. I could not use a needle there. I mean, you are not supposed to use things like masks or exfolialants in the eye area. I used a buff pupp and the most gentle mask Estee Lauder had. Now I have another on my left shoulder blade...just one. And one on the nape of the neck...just one. And of course I cannot really reach those to well. I can mask and use the loofah. The lone pimples of course on dark skin leaves a mark...a dark little scar. Those marks seem to last forever. We all want to have clear skin...at least I do. I have found that if you use a bleaching cream you can lighten those dak marks and they will fade away after a few months of use. This year, since about April I have been using a fade cream consistently. There was a time in my mid to late 30's when I did not have any sort of monthly breakout and I thought that time in my life was over as far as skin blemishes. But noooooooo. 40 + came and here I am with skin like a teen again. What gives???
