There's a spot on my chin, one of those ones that's under the skin but feels like a bruise and it's really goading me to have a good poke about at it.
However, I am 55 and I don't squeeze spots and all that advice I would've given myself as a teenage I'm actually taking!!

nominating myself for Pride of Britain

Yet another sign that I will only ever get older, but never truly grow up.

Those subcutaneous ones though. The only type I get. Sore.

Same here as well. I now know that maturity will only ever be a distant unattainable dream for me.

I won't ever stop, almost 55 and it's one of life's little pleasures. I'm an expert at making 'something out of nothing'.

I'm more than old enough to know better but I CAN'T help myself. Even though I always instantly regret it because I make something small and unnoticeable look truly terrible. You fully deserve that pride of Britain award.

I know you’re right OP but like all the pp I can’t leave them either.

Try a blister plaster on it to bring it out, and as a back up to your iron clad resolve.

It's the purging isn't it.
it's there now. Bulging.

i. Will. Not. Touch
