I have a very nice paper bag that you could borrow.

beansmum · 15/11/2008 12:57

Nope, I'm not as minging as you. I do have a spot up my left nostril though, I'm sure it would be very satisfying to squeeze but it's too sore and I can't really reach.

I have hideous dry skin everywhere.

I have been using flexitol heel balm on my hands at night with cotton gloves but forgot last night and now have hands like sandpaper, really like the hands of an 80 year old who's been employed as a dishwasher since childhood.

Yes. I have a new crop of zits that have colonised my chin completely, am bloated, my hair coud do with a wash and I've just been to the beautician for eyebrow/eyelash tint and wax so my eyes look like I have gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. Do I win???

I think that I may offer some competition. I have some acne on my chin that turns into eczema if I try to dry it out and when I treat the eczema, becomes acne again. I am pregnant though so I am blaming raging hormones...

shootfromthehip · 15/11/2008 13:18

Actually, my hair is a bit minging too... ah my DH is truly a lucky guy

ilovejonty · 15/11/2008 13:23

I have 7 spots (at least) some have little 'spotlet' outcrops around them but have just counted the main ones. Yuk. The worst one is a bit red bump right in the middle of my forehead. And I decided to grow out my fringe so have nothing to hide behind! Seem to be suffering a lot with hormones at the moment.

ilovejonty · 15/11/2008 13:24

PS Nostril spots are good as you get double access for sqeezing when the time comes (sorry!)

I have such bad spots just now that even my foundation slathered on is having trouble covering them. So am about to go another covering before I go out. [sexy]

ilovejonty · 15/11/2008 13:30

Can sympathise, I need at least two coats of concealer, plus powder before venturing out in public. Had to answer the door to the postman this morning with face 'au naturel' though, poor guy!

lovelysongbirdfliesaway · 15/11/2008 13:42

my nails are ruinined ive started bitting them again afetr stopping for 8 years

i blame parenthood!

DonutMum · 15/11/2008 14:19

Am slightly jealous, love a good squeeze

re the spreading coldsore, are you sure it's a cold sore? Could add to your mingingess by having impetigo. Now, THAT'S luvverly...

get yourself a vat of tea tree oil.

ilovejonty · 15/11/2008 14:23

What is impetigo?

DonutMum · 15/11/2008 14:26

The skin infection kids get that gives them crusty sores - can look a bit like cold sores at first. It's a strep or staph infection of the skin, really common (as in happens a lot, not chavvy ). I've had it. It hurts, too.

Yes just checked it's Steve Chinn. He writes about dyscalculia and dyslexia. I recommend his book 'The trouble with maths.'
