I’m Ugly
I have one of those horrible pimples right on my face, the kind that is more cyst than zit. It hurts, it’s red, it’s a big lump and I don’t know how to make it go away. I can cover it up but it doesn’t hide the fact that THERE IS A GROWTH ON MY FACE. I’m afraid it’s never going to leave. I don’t want to leave the house. Help.
Enjoy this article?

Are you wearing a bag on your head? That’s what I’m going to do.

i have a couple on the neck/chin area. it really helps my confidence when my 5 year old stares at them and tells me i have pimples.
i’m probably gonna break out the toothpaste tonite in a last ditch effort to rid the damn things, since the clean and clear acne cream hasn’t quite done the job….ugh!

To the contrary. I saw you just yesterday and you looked lovely as ever.

Fire up that MacBook camera, I need to see this thing.
March 12th, 2008 - 12:13
Yeah, and it’s making me hyperventilate!
The only thing that seems to work for me with these is to poke at them with a pin, and then soak a Q-tip in hydrogen peroxide and have it eat away at the thing. It gives me a weirdish scab, but they’re not popable, and at least I feel like I’m destroying it.
Ok, this is gross and I’m gonna go puke. Sorry!
And Grey Rainbow – my son has pointed to my face and said, “Boo boo?”

Lisa, you’re very sweet.
Michael – HELL TO THE NAW.
Rona – that scares me!!!

What’s its name? :D

This one is way worse than Rick. His name is Cysty Bumpus Uglerton.

Does it have its own hair and teeth?

I was doing an image search for “teratomas” (tumors with hair, teeth, fingernails, etc.) and I came across this, which is just too perfect:

Michael, I won’t dare touch that link in fear of VIOLENT PUKING and/or PASSING OUT COLD.
March 12th, 2008 - 21:18
That’s hysterical, Michael, although I do not understand why. Sandra, you can click. It’s not real.
Also, why will nobody tell me how to fix this thing? Will it last for days, weeks? Will I have to go on vacation looking like this? I HATE IT.
God, I’m so fucking vain.

Okay, I understand. The best stuff in the world is is Mario Badescu Drying Lotion and Buffering Lotion. When I see the beginnings of a cystic pimple, I put on the buffering lotion and then the drying lotion. It does not make it majically disappear, BUT, it helps to heal the bugger, calm it down, and makes its days numbered.
Unfortunatley, I do not know of any chain outlets that carry these products, you can order
them on Amazon and maybe have them delivered ASAP, or go to the website http://www.mariobadescu.com or go to NYC to thier spa/store. I would travel to the ends of the earth for this stuff.
I have also soaked the bugger in hot water with a wash cloth, it helps to make it smaller. You can use some neosporin afterward.
I am not sure if you should pop it or not, I am still on the fence with this that.
Hang in there, it is no fun.

It’s getting smaller…hopefully to be gone in a few days, because yuck. Good tip on the product – thanks!
