Estrace Day 7
Ummm....Zits Are Part of This Equation?

So yesterday, while I was at the dentist's office waiting to get my molar ground down to a stump for my new crown, I noticed a bump appearing on my chin. I thought little of it except that maybe my diet might have contributed to it. By nightfall it had morphed into a full blown zit of monstrous proportions. Like a bad girl I picked at it and today it was actually on the mend. But lo and behold: just tonight, another one, equally huge, if not larger, appeared right next to it.

At this point it dawned on me: I haven't seen welt-sized zits on my chin or my back since my High School years. God how that sucked, too. It seemed that they never really quite popped, despite my best intentions, but that they just grew, turned red, and were a constant source of embarrassment for me. I still have telltale scars on my back that ensure I'll never comfortably wear a dress that shows a lot of "back". Associations started running through my head: high school, youth, zits, oily skin, boys, intense horniness, raging hormones...AHA! Hormones!!!! Those evil f*cking estrace tablets are likely what is causing the zit fiesta on my chin!

I normally have really clear skin. I actually get the occasional compliment on it even. So it's a tiny bit of a downer to be reminded of how down my skin made me feel as a teenager and to have it revisit me when I least expected it. Eh. It'll be over soon enough so I'll quit my griping.

I'm actually staring to look forward to lupron at this point though...

yeah hormones are a nightmare. I found that getting facials, using MD skincare wipes and Clinique toner helped. But it is a real hassle. It is like being a teen again, only worse. Good luck with everything
