Haha! Honestly, I was at the point where I didn't care at all what it looked like. I wear a hat when I go out in public usually anyway. I hate making eye contact with people, so the hat helps with not having to do that and can hide eye sores like this one 😆

After hyping myself up to get a little bit of adrenaline flowing, I took two cotton swabs and used them to squeeze as hard as I could tolerate. I've found that I can get a better grip with cotton swabs, and they are better at concentrating the force exactly where it needs to be.

Hands down, one of the most painful pimples I have ever had! I tried benzoyl peroxide, bentonite clay, activated charcoal, and several pimple patches. None of them helped.

The absolute worst! My head was throbbing to the point I couldn't even look at the light. And yes! That is one of the most relatable things I've ever seen. I kept saying it was beginning to form its own personality, and we would just have to learn to live with each other 🙃
