How do you treat pimples ?

Hmm...glad you asked Anonymous . The short answer is kindly .
The long answer is NEVER treat them with disdain or contempt , but don't totally ignore them either - they feel bad enough already .
Provoking them with teasing , poking , prodding , squeezing or ( God forbid ) lancing will only serve to make them extremely angry and upset , and we all know what happens when they are upset don't we ? They weep ! So......what to do ?
Personally , I like to tenderly dab them with a little lavender oil using a Q-tip ( also known as an 'Ear Buddy' - funny name that) As Nana used to say " Never put anything smaller than a telegraph pole in your ear ". Hence - an 'Ear Buddy' ( also known as a Q-tip ) in being a lot smaller than a telegraph pole , should never approach an ear canal . A telegraph pole - on the other hand - is perfectly acceptable . Now...ah...where were we ? Ah !..that's right...pimples !
Which brings us to our next question .
Dearest Pompadou .
How do you recommend one should clean the ear canal ?
From - I didn't quite catch the name .
I thought I'd already answered that question . Never mind , just allow the wise words of Nana to echo in your ear " Never put anything smaller than a telegraph pole in your ear ". " Never put anything smaller than a telegraph pole in your ear " " Never p........."
