That Spot On Your Back Just Might Be...

Or this post could have been titled, "how to get rid of blackheads".

A friend of mine, who shall remain nameless, told me this story the other day and I laughed so hard I had tears rolling down my face.

One night her husband was rubbing her back when he stopped and said, "There's a new spot on your back, and you should probably go have it looked at, it's black and raised and odd shaped."

Twist as she might, she couldn't see it and so she called the dermatologist. She told them why she needed to see the doctor and they got her right in the next day.

Once at the doctor he asked what the problem was, she told him and he took a look. And looked, and looked, and then said, "I don't see anything odd, other than this big blackhead here." Then he proceeded to take a tissue and a q-tip and squeezed it and out the blackhead popped.

My friend looked at him and said, "I just spent $30 to have a blackhead removed? You will tell no one about this. You will not put it in my chart. OK?"

Needless to say, she's never let her husband live it down. And, she found out in a later visit to the same doctor that the diagnosis of the spot on her back was, "Huge Blackhead"!
