Recently, this awful habit caught up with me in a scary way. I noticed a whitehead forming on my left cheek and, though I tried, I couldn't help but push on it, even though I knew it wasn't "ready." Over a two day period, the spot grew larger and more painful. No amount of picking or compression would relieve the pressure. Soon, the entire side of my face was swollen and tender; from three inches above my ear to the center of my throat and from my nose to two inches behind my ear, in my scalp. The pain was so intense that even a light touch made me scream. My self-esteem also took a huge hit because I felt I looked like a monster.
