Why must I suffer acne still?
What trick of fate, whose wily will?
I am too far over the hill,
refuse to take a teenage pill,
must be this state of chronic ill.
(A funny ditty for Dark Side Of the Moon’s Whyquain challenge. I might have taken liberties with the form, but it was fun to write.)

I break out from time to time. I think it’s from too much moisturizer, but I don’t know.

I’ve been through so many different face products – found out that alcohol, used in many, causes breakouts. Even when I’m careful though, it happens.

It happens to my mom too. She has super sensitive skin. Her face breaks out with so many products it’s awful.

It was fun to read as well, V.J.! I think it is a cruel trick that I have wrinkles and pimples at the same time.

Lol… I relate all too painfully. My neck is in its fifties, but my face is still a teen.

Ah…another challenge. I relate to this as well. One more shrug from the doctor who offers only…”these things happen when you get older” or the dreaded one word explanation – autoimmune.

Mine is definitely autoimmune. I look at the sun and break out. Oh bother

ugh. Sorry to hear. I get so tired (literally!) of hearing that reason.

I was just complaining to my husband a couple of weeks ago how unfair it is that I should have wrinkles and acne at the same time. You’re right that there should be a law. 🙂

No, ma’am. Perhaps we should create a miracle cream that treats both woes?

Fun to read too. Though the story behind the humour lines is not so funny.
