Um, do you have some sort of magical power to send zits to friends via email or, ack, Facebook? Because, today, I woke up to an eruption just above the center of my right cheek (on my face, thank you very much). And I've never had one there before. So not only do you have superb idiot radar, I think you're the zit witch.

I've always had acne issues! It was worse in high school - I have never heard of doing dry ice treatments but I took a nasty antibiotic (Tetracycline) for a couple years and used a very-drying wash... I even remember using straight vinegar around 16. It goes through cycles now - I still use Ance clenser and taken another medication that helps it but it still has it's moments. Quitting smoking

I think my zit eruption gave those stuffy trustees something to talk about. I still laugh and simultaneously get embarassed when I think back on that weekend.

It's like the zits KNOW! They lie in wait to spring out (up?) at the worst possible moments.

They're probably still talking about it, Rachel.

I always had okay skin and for that I'm eternally thankful but I did get a full-blown eruption on my nose once when I was flown to NY to meet the trustees of an organization that had just hired me. We were at the Harvard Club and I *knew* they were all staring directly at my nose the entire time and thinking, "how unfortunate for her/us."

Yes, it's unfair. My brother had hell with acne in high school. I always hurt for him but knew there was nothing I could do or say to make it better. I guess it's just part of learning the bigger lesson that life is unfair.
