From a rather impersonal viewpoint, I have to say that your willingness to be so open about yourself is one of the things that makes for an interesting comic. On the other side, I hope this isn't something worrisome.
I think there are certain things I wouldn't share. But I think making fun of myself is funnier and more considerate than making fun of other people! And nah, it was seriously just acne. It went away after a couple days.
I've had this happen before. IT SUCKS, but it finally went away. My biggest thing now is styes, honestly. I feel like I've been getting one every month, so now I'm trying to be ultra diligent about taking off my eye makeup.
I also have horrible clogged pores on my nose, and I don't know how to get rid of them!
A friend of mine had to go to hospital recently to have sties drained, because they would not go away. She has been ordered to wash her eyelids with baby shampoo--no idea why it works, but apparently it does!
Oh no! I only got a sty once when I was a little kid, but then, I never wear eye makeup. My nose is pretty okay but my chin is a nightmare. It's like the acne and the lady-whiskers are dueling for dominance.
I think other things work, they're just too irritating to have close to your eyes frequently, and baby shampoo is made for sensitive eyes so you don't have to worry about hurting them with soap.
Have you read about OCM? There is a school of thought that people whose bodies overproduce oil will slow down oil production if you stop using drying agents and start using oils like olive oil and castor oil on your face instead. I did it for a while but I find I like moisturizing lotion better. A few of my friends swear by it.
Hm... I haven't heard of that. The only thing is I'm scared of stopping using the proactive stuff. It seems like the only thing that keeps me from getting honest to God boils on my face. I still get them, but not nearly as often as i was before I started using the proactive.
