I had dreadful acne when I was a teen. The kind where you don't look in a mirror, and your hair hangs over your face.
I went to the doctor, and was on alarming medication to make me suitable for the public. This medicine was so dangerous at the time, that regular blood draws were a part of the modus operandi...or however you spell it. It was pretty bad.
These days, I get an unsightly blemish from time to time. Usually predictably timed. Which is to say, cyclically. Nothing like announcing one's business, eh?
But, my body's latest trend seems to be this whole blemishes-on-the-neck thing. How pretty is that? Is it my hair product? My waves of golden tresses clogging the pores upon my neck? What? It's so very inelegant.
And what's to be done? Wear my hair up? Not right now.
Slather it with irritating, drying, teenage salves? Is that helpful at my age?
Ignore it and quit picking at it? Thanks, you sound like my mother.
Maybe I'll begin bathing regularly in red wine. That is a remedy that has some real potential!
But enough about me. How have you been? You've told me about your marriages. How about your acne. Anyone?

Actually had my first pimple at 38. Yeah, such a lucky boy! But, I was unprepared for what an aging body can do! Hello Clearasil...
I have the zit to top all zits IN MY EAR!! It is so painful and I can't get at it. So, yeah, it sucks.
it seem most woman i know lately are dealing with acne breakouts...is it middle age? (not that you are middle-aged kelly)...is is stress? is it what we're eating? hormonal imbalance?
who knows! My newest bodily member has been hanging out on my chin for the last several weeks, gathering momentum I think. lol
Bathe in red wine?
The possibilities. Not to mention some serious transdermal alcohol absorption.
But that almost seems like a big waste of wine. I mean really, you just don't want to drink it after that.
