A Zit Saga

So Saturday, I noticed a small zit forming. "No big thang," I thought to myself, "nothing a lil super-acid-compound can't fix." And because the weekend was narrowly upon me, I decided to apply about 10 applications of it Saturday night. On Sunday morning, I woke up to something far from a zit. It looked like a flaming-zit-inferno. It was 3 times the size, red, swollen w/ a white film covering it (sorry for the visual). So Monday, I QUICKLY made a call to a local skin-doc for a hopeful immediate eradication of this THING. In her assessment, I had BURNED a hole in my skin from acid-overdose. There was nothing she could do but highly recommended I apply a cortisone cream for burns. Moral of the story? Who knows. But if you have one, please feel free to leave it in the form of a comment! In the meantime, I'm gonna go reapply my burn cream. :/
