Ow ow flippin' OW

[kickaha]

I have this bizarre thing where I get ingrown hairs on the edge of my lip after shaving. Shaving oil has helped a lot, but every so often, one goes apeshit on me.

So now I have this... *THING* on my lip that is, for all intents and purposes, indistinguishable from a cold sore. It also hurts like fuck. :P

No, it's not *actually* a cold sore, I nicked the spot a week ago shaving, and when it was healing, a follicle got covered and started the process. Last night I managed to get the core out, and I was hoping that would do it, but overnight it decided to regroup, and this morning it did a full frontal attack. Whimper.

I'm right there with you. Kickaha, you manage to tweak my nasty-skin-thing ick meter more regularly than anyone I've ever known. I salute you.

I am but a pustulant boil in the face of humanity.

I still have a vivid recollection of the first time he did it to me.

In 1987.

The word "pus-pocket" featured heavily.

Why my brain, which can only remember one thing per year, chose this highlight of 1987 for posterity is beyond me.

Wait, was this the 3rd degree sunburned feet incident? Or another one?

It was another one, one oddly similar to th original post--you'd thought you'd gotten the core out of a zit, only to have it blow up on you overnight.

LOL Who says history doesn't repeat itself?

For what it's worth, conversations like this make it _much_ harder to divorce myself from the "M" word.

I'm just sayin'. :)
