Perhaps the bump is finally going...wooohooo! It's stil quite tender if I prod it but facial expressions are now pain-free so I'm not complaining too much. The skin is getting a bit flakey so soon the remaining redness should be gone too, just got to leave it alone to flake off by itself.
I did wake up in a bit of a panic this morning though, I saw a red circle in the same place as the bump but above the other eyebrow![:|]()
was highly unamused but only examined the area when I washed my face with clean hands, but oddly it didn't hurt so I covered it with concealer and I'm trying to forget about it. I think something will happen since it's slightly raised too, but with this bump reminding me of the damage I'll do, I'm keeping my mitts off!
So I'm classing this as a personal victory...admittedly it's not painful like the other bump so therefore not as tempting, but I've still got the anxiety that comes with a new pimple discovery and I'm trying to overcome it hurrah! Although I did pick a tinnie tiny comedone in my hairline to somewhat appease the anxiety so it's hardly a great success but I'll take it nonetheless.
I also have a fairly painful spot about half a centimetre away from the corner of my mouth that I'm also avoiding, it's only a raised whitehead (I don't think there's a 'root') so I'll let my body take care of that one, I've got a feeling it's only hurting because of where it is, as opposed to actually being a cyst - fingers crossed!
Even though there's a few things to tempt me at the moment, I'm managing to avoid picking thus far, frankly I don't have a choice but to keep trying and stay positive!
