The Skin I’m In
Posted on Saturday, April 25th, 2009 at 8:39 pmFor as long as I can remember, I have had a freckle on the right side of my face, just above my upper lip.
There it is
I’m sure it hasn’t been there my whole life. I’m not sure when it showed up, or even really when it left. But it’s gone. Recently I noticed that it wasn’t there anymore and in its place is a small spot with no pigment. Weird. Looking back at pictures, I can see that it’s been gone for about two years. I guess I don’t pay that close of attention.
There it isn't. If you look closely, you can even see the pigment free spot.
In another skin-related incident, I had a tiny mole on the left side of my neck that was bugging me to no end. It would rub against the seatbelt or against my collar. It just hurt all the time. I don’t think it had been there long. I don’t even know. It was small and barely hanging on. Katie told me I should surgically remove it myself. I decided that’s what had to be done. It would just be painful for a second. Then I wouldn’t have to deal with all the pain it was causing me all the time anyway. I woke up the day I planned on removing the mole and it was gone. It had fallen off in the middle of the night. Again, weird.
As someone who spends a lot of time staring at you, I am ashamed to say that I don’t remember noticing when the freckle disappeared either. I guess I should be more observant!
That is so funny. It is hard to know exactly when something happens. Emily had a mole develope on her upper/inner thigh. I kept meaning to ask the doctor about it, but would always forget. When I took her to the doctor on friday I finally remembered, and wouldn’t you know, it was completely gone. I was a little embarrassed..oh well.
It’s nice when those things happen.
