The 'pimple' was so incredibly disgusting and huge that gossips were flying around about it.
For instance, Daryl(Seow) who bumped into Mun Teng sometime in that year, "ei, You saw that pimple on Jolene ar? DAMN BIG WEI!"
Someone else told someoneelse(can't quite remember who).. "It looks like there were two 10 cent coins lodged underneath her skin!"
At that time, about Nov 2002, I was working at Sunway Pyramid's Nail Artz and almost every customer asked me about it and I would just smile graciously and say, "I don't know what it is." I did visit a doctor who prescribed some antibiotics to me and some cream to treat it. The cream did wonders. Within 12 hours, a layer of skin peeled away(sort of dissolved) and yellow pus oozed out and if I'm not careful, a bit of blood will ooze out too. Within a week, it was gone. But there's still a small scar underneath my chin.
This is how it looked like:
It was thudding and itching.. I think it was *slightly* subsided then. It was larger. Yea! I KNOW! IT WAS THAT HUGE!!
Well, my friends, the (end of)year 2004 brings you...... "The Mountain under Jolene's Chin TWO!" ......coming... near you.
Honest! Yesterday as I was on the net, I idly rubbed my chin and was shocked to find the monster appearing out of the blue!!
Don't believe?
I have proof:
Maybe the picture may portray what looks like a mosquito bite. But please don't let it deceive you. It feels HARD and SOLID and has quite a huge diameter to boot!
I have been told before that I'm the type who gets pimple when under stress. I googled Pimple+and+Stress. Apparently it's only a myth that stress causes acne but ANOTHER website said that when you're under stress, the brain releases a certain chemical which will induce productions of pimples. "Pimples" that do not have head are called Cysts.
Feeling worried, I googled "Cysts". But fortunately, I read something else that said, "Acne Cysts- Cysts are large, inflamed acne lesions that are filled with pus. They occur when the contents of a clogged pore seeps into the skin, thus producing a significant local immune response."
Apparently cysts and boils are co-related and therefore, I MUST be having a boil. I then googled "Boils".
1. What is a boil?
A boil, also referred to as a skin abscess, is a localized infection deep in the skin. A boil generally starts as a reddened, tender area. Over time, the area becomes firm and hard.
Oooh!! Yes!! Check!
2. Who does it affect?
Teenagers-Most common on the face and typically occurs in the teenage years.
Doh.
Apparently I need to put a hot compressor over it. What's a hot compressor?
