Help! I Found A Pimple On My Face


I have never been one to have a problem with acne or have ever had to use an oily skin cream on my face before. I guess I have always been blessed with that. I do, however, deal with dry skin occasionally, but that was more or less when I lived up in Massachusetts where the winters would get cold and the winds would get blustery.

It came to my surprise one day as I was looking into the mirror following my regular skin care regimen, that I looked on my face and on my cheek just below my eye was a big fat pimple laughing at me. This shocked me actually as it took me off guard to actually see one so big. Where did this awful thing come from?

It is not like I am a big chocolate or sweets eater. On the contrary, I would prefer some carrot sticks over that Hershey's bar. So I know the pimple did not come from that. Maybe it was stress? I have been under a little stress lately with my son completing the school year and things that need to be prepared for the following year.

No matter what the cause of this horrible looking thing that is clinging on for dear life on my face, it must go and it must go NOW! I began searching my local drug and grocery store for any kind of oily skin cream that would do the job. I didn't need long term results, as this is a one time offender, just something that would zap the life out of this little creature so I can get on with my life.

I finally found something, I don't recall exactly what it was. It might have been a clearasil product of some sort. Anyway, I applied it a couple of times and to my delight, within a few short days, that uninvited little pimple no longer sought residence on my face. It was such a relief.

Now, I joyfully look into the mirror each day to begin my daily skin care regimen as always and search for this obtrusive little fellow to only see a blemish free spot where he resided. I smile to myself as I realize that I won the war. I tuck away my little clearasil bottle for a possible future visit knowing that I am now equipped to blast away even the smallest sign of a pimple that might pay a visit to my face.
