Sometimes you just have to laugh at the irony of life. You know, the events that tend to happen exactly when you don’t want them to, like getting sick on the one day you really didn’t want to at school, when there was the cool field trip that you were looking forward to in grade school? Or maybe when you get a huge pay raise right before you were going to tell your bosses that you were moving out of state. You know, that kind of stuff, or along that vain of thinking. The Cyclops Zit, as I like to call it, is sort of one of those types of things. It’s a slap in the face – a sort of “aha, fate has control over your life, not you” kind of things where you realize that you don’t always have 100% control over what happens in your life, including how your skin tends to behave, especially before big events. What is the Cyclops Zit? It is a nasty, bug, red bulging zit that happens to appear (usually at the most inopportune times also) RIGHT SMACK DAB in the middle of your forehead, so you look like one of those mythical creatures that have one single eye, right in the middle of their head. You know what I mean, I’m sure you’ve seen their likeness in cheap horror and sci fi movies growing up as a kid. One thing I’ve noticed about these types of zits is that they tend to pop up over night, and they may even pop up when you don’t have a trace of acne anywhere on your face, what’s up with that? I remember the last time I had one, I suddenly wanted to itch the middle of my forehead really badly, and so I did. Well, after I itched it, I noticed a tiny little bump had appeared within minutes. I also noticed that the whole area was red and inflamed. The very next morning I woke up to find a jumbo sized Cyclops Zit on my forehead – right in the middle. The worst part about these prominent zits that pop up on your forehead is that they are so conspicuous. It’s not like you can easily camouflage them out of being. You can put a ton of cover up on them, and they still manage to come through and be noticed, because of where they’re located. You also feel extra self conscious because of where they are, as if you have a bright flashing light on your forehead, saying “look at me!”
