facial hair
Speaking of facial hair...
One day, while doing mirror, mirror, on the wall, I could see I had a moustache. Don't get me wrong, I'm Italian; I've always had a moustache but just not this dark.
I quickly went out and bought something to bleach it. Well, I'll be hogtied because afterwards I could still see it. Desperate times call for desperate measures so I moved onto Plan B. I Naired off the whole thing. I didn't want to do that because of the whole 'it grows back darker scare'. Well, this time, I had to be bulltied because I could still see it.
Upon closer inspection, I could see that hair wasn't my problem. My skin had darkened in that area. In all the gin joints and bars in the world, my body had to pick that place to turn dark.
Truth be told, I have a dark patch of skin on my cheek that I noticed like 6 months ago. No one ever notices it unless I point it out. The doc said it was pigmentation that rose to the surface(?). He gave me this creme to use. A very expensive creme that cost way over $100.00 (Insurance doesn't cover it because it's considered cosmetic).
I used it faithfully for 2 months and then went back to see him. The strangest thing happened. For that one day, the dark spot went away. I tried telling him that it didn't really go away but he didn't believe me so a month later, I made appointment with a different doctor. He gave me the same dog-gone creme to use. It's now been another 2 months and it's still there and it's now moved onto to my moustache. Yuck!
The doc said this creme can sometimes take up to 9 months to work. I only hope that when I see him later this month, it doesn't do that same disappearing act.
