Been two months since my last blog post! Had pretty much nothing in that time which is great for me! It's even more pleasing because around this time last year my skin was going pretty bad. Fingers crossed I'll continue to stay clear!

Not posted for a while. Had some good, long periods of clear skin and a few spots along the way. A few weeks back I had two come up at once - I know, so many! One was to the right of my eye and there's still a red mark there which is pretty annoying to have. The other was in the gap in between my eyebrows, but it's completely gone now.

 

Found a red medium spot to the left of my nose about an hour ago. Not sure how long it's been there for as I don't tend to look in the mirror that much these days. That's only because I've got a busier job than I used to have and I can't spend ages in the toilets at work just staring into the mirror at my crappy skin. Anyway, this new one is noticeable, but there's no pain. Might even have started to go by the morning. Fingers crossed.

Well the spot from Thursday night seemed to split into two yesterday. I woke up to find the spot hadn't changed much overnight. By lunchtime though a tiny whitehead had formed next to the main spot. I squeezed this quite easily and it seemed to die. Didn't change much throughout the rest of the day. Woke up this morning to find the whole thing had flattened and felt a bit scaly now. Hopefully it won't leave much of a red mark.

 

Unfortunately, last night, an almost identical spot sprang up on the right hand side of my nose. Again, there's no pain to it and it hasn't changed overnight. Makes me feel crap though as it's two spots in two days. Just got to pray that this latest one has died by tomorrow.

Spot from the LH side of my nose is now just a red mark which is fading quickly. The one to the RH side of my nose is almost completely flat and just a normal skin colour, so not noticeable. Should be looking good in a couple of days...

My breakouts from the other week are barely noticable now. The only thing I had come up last week was a tiny, tiny spot to the left of my nose. Nothing to worry about, so looking clear.

 

This afternoon I felt a lump on my chin. I checked in the mirror and it's red, but not really any pain - only the slightest hint of pain when I press on it. Now, my chin is probably the most consistently clear area on my entire face. I hardly ever get anything there, so it's a bit strange to get something pop up there. In the last 8 years, I've probably had less than 10 spots there which is pretty good going in my books. I get the feeling it may start to disappear by tomorrow. Let's hope it does anyway.
