I think my brother has had the worst possible luck today...

For the last hour or so he has claimed to have something in his eye that was bugging him, after dinner I told him to look in the mirror and find out what it was.

Turns out he had a spot right on the edge of his eyelid, so that whenever he blinked the head of the spot scraped across his eye...I've heard of awkward spots but this is ridiculous.

So, just thought I'd share this piece of typicality, the one time he gets a spot in the last month, he can't get rid of it. Anyone else had experience of truly awkward spot placement? I for one have had one come up behind my ear, git.

Oh, now where's that piece of unbelievably valuable pure gold that I found the other day? I need to rub it into my spot.

Apparently if you put toothpaste on spots they dry and are easy to get rid of. Never tried though. I've always wondered what would happen if you have spots in weird places like inside your ear or nose.

I had one on my elbow recently, and it was annoying everytime I leaned on it. The awkward part was that everytime I tried to squeeze it I tried to use both hands.

Don't you just hate that Zotoaster guy?

I see your point...Meh, it's what we do

I've had at least seven inside my nose and believe me, they are just hellish 3mm diameter white spots, no red ring round the outside, just white and damn near impossible to get rid of.

Some advice if you ever get one of those, try o refrain from sneezing; those shades of green, white and red don't go very well together

Well, nothing much. They just hurt if you try to pick your nose or wipe your ears. Or was it the other way around? Ah well.

What a strange topic, well I am a case for ACNE, though I do look it because I wash my face a lot and use spot cream, of course I still get a certain number of spots (less than I would have)...it's annoying because I get them on my neck, back and sometimes arms, even on the back of the ear. There's one place I have had warts, but I will not mention it as it's a little personal.

Of course I'll be damn pleased when I grow out of them, but I really should see if the doctor has anything strong for them.



Under your eyelid, hardcore, but they go soon after they come, picking it can be satisfactory, though gross, but nobody has to know about it.
