To Squeeze or Not to Squeeze?

A middle aged woman should not have to deal with a hideous zit in the morning. I did my time, I had my acne as a teenager! And now I have two teenagers with acne! Yet, I still have to cope with a pimple on my nose. This just isn't cool. A dear friend once referred to a blemish of this magnitude as a "Stay Home Zit". She was absolutely right. If you get up in the morning and while brushing your teeth, before you even have your first cup of coffee, you notice a white head or a black head or just a big red bump on the tip of your nose, this should be an automatic call into work, or in my case, call into life. I should get to turn right around and go back up to bed. Let the zit run it's course and then deal with life. However, the dilemma is how long this zit will take to "run it's course". This begs the question "to squeeze or not squeeze"? I am a big fan of the pinch and squeeze method of attack on the pustules. There is such a sense of satisfaction when you are able to squeeze that little bugger and the gunk hits the mirror in the bathroom. Victory is mine! But my kids will tell me it makes it much worse and won't let me near them when their acne flares up. Rotten teenagers! Lucky for me I still get pimples so I can fulfill my need to squeeze. Okay not really, I'd rather just deal with the wrinkles and not the zits!
