This is probably the first unretouched photo I've ever posted of myself, which I do realize is quite vain. I complain a lot about my face issues, but today I'm going to be grateful for what I do have.
Though I moan about my acne, which is still hanging out long past puberty, it's not as bad as it used to be. More importantly, it isn't usually painful like it used to be!
Another issue I have is psoriasis. This is a skin condition where the skin cells produce too rapidly, creating scaly patches on my face and scalp. In this photo it appears like a burn just above each eyebrow, though it's partially covered by my hair. Psoriasis is very uncomfortable and I whine about it plenty, but I should be very grateful that it's restricted to a few patches on my face, and mostly underneath my hair. Psoriasis can get even worse than this (poor baby!), so mine is really quite mild. P.S. - it's not contagious!
So there's your medical education for the day and my thing to be grateful for, all wrapped up into a little package.
