Life on Florida’s West Coast

I Feel Like a Teenager

…and not in a good way!

I went to a dermatologist this morning. I initially made an appointment due to a small spot I have on my back. It became inflamed this weekend and I wanted to get the ball rolling to have that taken care of once and for all. While I was at it, I decided to talk to the doctor about the acne issues I have been facing.

As a teenager, I had perfect skin. Literally, I had skin that was flawless, enviable. I could have probably not washed my face and still had skin to die for. Starting in my mid-30s, though, I started to experience adult acne. It’s not terrible, but sometimes I have small bumps on my forehead or I break out in my t-zone monthly. The bad part of it has been trying to re-learn how to care for my skin.

I walked out of that office with four prescriptions: an antibiotic, a body wash and 2 facial washes. *sigh* I’m putting off calling my insurance company for a couple hours to find out what the co-pays will be. I want to delay the sticker shock.

Now, if I could only get my teen figure back. :)
