One random, highly visible, Vesuvius-like ZIT

Just that really.

I have woken up this morning with a list of things to do around town and found Mt Etna on my cheek.

Not up in my hairline, not on the usual greasy areas, out there on the highly visible left cheek.

Done a few things around the house, but really need to go out.

I'm mortified, but I'm going to have to get out there. 😳

Nothing further to add really.

Have you had chickenpox before? Because that does look a little like one of the watery blisters (sorry!) I hope it is an ordinary spot though!

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 26/11/2018 14:51

Yes.

And shingles.

It's just the most inconvenient zit ever.

Is it poppable? I know the proper advice is to leave alone, but IME if you can feel it ready to pop, it gets it over and done with

How are you resisting?? I'd probably have made a right mess of that by now and be thoroughly kicking myself.

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 26/11/2018 20:54

I'll probably have a go last thing before bed, otherwise I'll be walkinground with an efen bigger red mark on my face....

You need a lot of make up then red lips as a distraction. Or a pair of knickers on your head, that'll take attention away from it.

Neutrogena light therapy pen. They were on offer for about £14 on amazon yesterday. REALLY WORKS at removing redness and kills the bacteria. Spots clear so much quicker.

BinkyBuntyFintyCunty · 27/11/2018 12:33

Or, yeah, knickers on your head Smile

WTFIsAGleepglorp · 27/11/2018 12:34

Thanks.

Pouring with rain here atm.

Will be wearing a hood for most of a trip out.
