Kill-Pimple
I got a pimple on my lower lip. Well, not exactly on the lip, but so close that it looks like the pimple is on the lip. I had had a serious pimple problem during my teens. I had so many pimples on my face that I even came close to claiming the title ‘spotty’. For a few years, when I looked at the mirror, I was able to look at only pimples and not my face. I was almost about to forget how my face looks like and then slowly the pimple density reduced. From then onwards, I have occasional pimples on my face and not my face hidden behind pimples.
This particular pimple announced its arrival yesterday at the edge of my lower lip. As the pimple came after a very long gap, I sort of grew fond of it and even started adoring it. It was like meeting a close friend after a long time. An interesting fact is that an odd pimple even looks good on your face. But that is strictly till the white head shows up on the pimple. The moment the white head emerges, the pimple stops being cute and starts being disgusting.
The first thing I noticed when I looked at the mirror this morning was the white head on the pimple. So I went on to do the first thing I do when I see a white headed pimple – kill it by squeezing its white head out. Now this is one of the most painful things that you would do to yourself. Painful yet essential. It is an eye-watering job. Every time I come out of the bathroom after squeezing the white head off the pimple, people think that I had been weeping in the bathroom. Sigh.
I used to be a pro in killing the pimples during my ‘pimple’ful days. I used to kill pimples with single clinical squeezes. Today I found that I have lost touch. I ended up squeezing a wide area around the pimple before I finally managed to kill it. Result – a puffed lower lip.
If I had photographed my lower lip then and shown it to you, you would have identified it as Angelina Jolie’s or Boomika Chawla’s. Puffed lips could be emtremely embarrassing. People could easily mistake it for pouting. I covered my puffed lip while I travelled to the office. I didn’t want some random girl to think that I was making obscene gesture at her and slap me across my face.
If I say that random girls have never slapped me or even threatened to do so, my friends would take it as a confirmation of their doubt that I am a totally hopeless creature. But I am proud of this record of mine and I intend to keep it intact.

let me tell you Inder,sqeezing the uripe pimple is the worst thing you can do to your self.even though it looks disgusting but do not disturb it,let is take its own time and ripe.And then when you sqeeze it to remove the white head,you'll be amazed that it wont hurt you at all.I use to have the same problem but afte my skin specialist's suggestion I follow the above instruction and my face is as clean and smooth as cotton.So disturbing pimple is not a good idea.It is a complete no-no!
LOL!! ROFL!! such hilarious description about a pimple!!! ROFL!!

EEEWWWWWWWWWW! deesgooosthing! (disgusting)
sharda,
i thought that pimples with white-heads are ripe enough to be killed...
when i kill a pimple, i end up with broken skin that would look like an injury for a couple of days. i convince myself that tiny injuries on face gives me a nice gangster-look.
nirwa,
disgusting? says who?? the one who adores cockroaches and lizards and name them after kareena???
hahahah... :P :P :P

I can't believe you have a whole post on the intricasies of a pimple! hehe, you'd think you've gotten rid of them once you hit your 20's an dthen something called 'adult acne' hits you. it's god awful.
btw, a good dose of antibiotic usually helps.
