Re: I NEED IMMEDIATE HELP! PLS!

I've been pretty stressed lately and made the mistake of looking at a magnifying mirror and thought, "oh, no! Is that a zit forming next to my lip?" It's before the holidays I'd better pick at it, that's a great idea!

Surprise my nothing turned into something because I was tearing away at my flesh. Then like a ding bat I panicked and did a hack research job on the internet and read a single snippet that said, garlic has antimicrobial properties and could heal a pimple. It said to apply it to the skin for 10 min.

In my infinite wisdom of super stressed out hormone brain I thought to myself, 20 minutes is better than 10. I got in a hot bath put it to my skin and it burned, but I relaxed and read and thought to myself, the burning feeling just means it's working. Right!?!

The next morning I woke up with a giant blister on the cusp of my lower lip and bellow my lip. Turning nothing into something truly horrific out of fear of looking like I had a herpes on my lip. Thanks magnifying mirror! (I don't have herpes & I get 1 blemish a month typically on my chin NEVER on my lip). Due to my gross negligence and PMS brain and holiday stress, I now straight up look like I have a huge cold sore on and below my lip.

Happy holidays everyone!!! My gift to you is that of a cautionary tale...if you think you have a zit leave it be, especially if you're staring into a magnifying mirror.

Please do not apply raw garlic to your face it, burns. Laugh and learn from my mistake, don't make your own.

Fingers crossed this doesn't scar. Good grief! Tweet
