Sucks to have my skin

[asterroc]

So when you find you've got a pimple, what do you do? You pick it. You'd have to be inhuman to resist the lure of picking at one, especially when you can just see all the wonderful pus waiting to ooze out. Once you get that pus out, it'll be able to heal on its own. I had one smack in the middle of my back, and since I'm flexible I was able to pick at it despite the location. This morning I realized it was still there after a day or two, and bigger than a pimple usually is, so it's probably one of my oh-so-wonderful cysts. As I was changing, T$ said "did you know you have a bruise on your back?" We're oh-so-polite about bodily functions. "Yeah, it's a pimple or a cyst or something." T$: "Um, but it's a big scab." Me: "That's 'cause I picked at it. It's better than a usual cyst though." :( It wasn't painful before, but now because it's got a bit of a scab it is. And yet I can see just under the surface, it's waiting to ooze, and if it just gets out it'll heal right up.
