While I've really been enjoying all those social media snaps of you jammy bastards in Europe over winter – none of us have been to Italy before or seen captions like 'La dolce vita' on 'candid' laughing-while-walking down a lane photos, so cheers – somehow, who knows why, I've been avoiding looking at my feeds. Things like cleaning out the third drawer down, having the dog's anal glands checked and watching And Just Like That... without being stoned seemed preferable to bearing witness for the zillionth time to the exploits of ye holidaymakers. But eventually curiosity slash masochism won. Did a quick scroll with one eye closed to block out boats or floral baskets at UK pubs. And found an absolute banger post. Along with my previously mentioned passion for Dr Pimple Popper videos and posts from Bicheno Stories, I really like a Facebook account called Memory Lane – Growing Up in Australia. Expect massive nostalgia: Blankety Blanks, questions about whether anyone had a Sandman, death-trap billy carts, that terrifying wooden gym vault from 1970s PE classes, the sharpie dance, people piercing ears with a needle and ice cube. Liquid Paper. Big Tooth chewy. A mention that this week in 1974, Good Morning (How Are You?) by the Moir Sisters charted. One terrific post had a giant costume cigarette mascot called Mr Cig visiting hospital patients to hand out free durries in 1948. The post that caught my eye this time was a question: 'You meet your 18-year-old self. But you're only allowed to say three words. What do you say?' The answers offered up obsessed me for about an hour. I love you. Buy real estate. Enjoy the ride. Save your money. Cherish your parents. Don't do it! Trust your instincts. Work in tech. Do not settle. Leave the country. Don't people please. Don't have regrets. Keep your Monaro. Get out more. Run baby, run. Work two jobs. One clear theme also emerged. 'Don't get married' was everywhere. One woman called Jacqueline got more specific: 'Don't marry Lee.' Lee, thoughts mate?

Dr Pimple Popper slices ‘TURD' growth off woman's chest after date's humiliating jibe
A WOMAN had a "turd"-like growth sliced off her chest by Dr Pimple Popper after being subjected to cruel jibes by a date. Chalamar, 26, developed a thick, raised scar on her chest after getting her sternum pierced. 9 9 9 9 The piercing grew itchy after about a year an oblong, "bundled-up" scar started to grow in the same spot. Chalamar began feeling increasingly self-conscious about it. Then, while on a date, she was told the scar looked like a "turd". She recalled: "A guy literally sat across the table from me and called it a turd. 'I had met this guy online and then the first date comes, the first thing he asked me is what is that thing on my chest and he said it looked like a turd after that I didn't really want to talk to another man a day in my life.' The 26-year-old – who lives in Phoenix, Arizona – got up and left there and then, and turned her back on dating after the distressing incident. Previously know for her extravagant and colourful outfits, Chalamar refused to wear revealing clothing and insisted on covering up the keloid on her chest. Battling depression, the one-time party animal even refused to go out. Chalamar first got her ear pierced in 2018, noticing that it continued to feel sore afterwards. But she decided to follow this up by getting her sternum pierced too. She grew raised scars - known as keloids - in both spots. Chalamar tried to get the growth on her ear removed by a dermatologist, but it just grew back afterwards. "The one on my ear feels a bit like a grape, the one on my chest is bundled up like a turd," Chalamar said. Growing tired of hiding herself in hoodies and not feeling comfortable in her body, Chalamar said: "I want a better life for myself. 9 9 9 "It's not fair. I should be happy and I don't feel happy with this stuff being on my ear or on my chest. "I'm hopeful that all these keloids can be minimised, reduced or taken off so I can go back to living the life that I deserve to live.' Chalamar – who lived with the keloids for four years – appeared alongside Dr Sandra Lee on her show 'Dr Pimple Popper: Breaking Out.' Dr Lee explained that any kind of trauma to the skin - like a piercing - can trigger keloids, which are a common condition. Hearing about Chalamar's dating incident, Dr Lee exclaimed: "He's the turd!" The world-famous dermatologist anticipated that the growth on Chalamar's chest would be hard to remove and warned there was a chance of a raised scar growing back because the skin in the area gets "tugged" at so much. What are keloids? A keloid scar is a raised scar left on the skin after a wound has healed. It usually appears a few weeks to years after you damage or injure your skin, such as after a cut, burn or acne. They're thought to be caused by dysfunction of the wound-healing process. Collagen — a protein found throughout the body — is useful to wound healing, but when the body produces too much, keloids can form. Keloid scars are usually raised, hard, smooth and shiny. They can be skin colour, pink, red, purple, brown, or darker than the skin around them. You can get keloid scars on any part of the body, but they're most common on the chest, shoulders, chin, neck, lower legs and ears. It can grow for months or years and become bigger than the original wound. While it's growing, it may feel itchy or painful. You can't get rid of a keloid scar, but there are treatments that can help improve how it looks and reduce irritation. Treatments may include: Steroid injections or cream Silicone dressings or gels Cryotherapy (a treatment to freeze the keloid scar) Laser therapy Surgery to remove the keloid scar is not usually recommended because it's likely to grow back bigger. Source: NHS Dr Lee also said the procedure to remove the keloid would also likely leave a scar. But Chalamar was eager to go ahead with the operation. She said:' I finally get to show my cleavage off now there's no more chest turd.' Dr Lee sliced into the skin on the keloids, pulling out the scar tissue but leaving enough "superficial skin" stitch the wounds up neatly. She also took care to keep the scar on Chalamar's chest as small as possible, to prevent an even bigger keloid from growing back. A visibly emotional Chalamar looked down at her decolletage after the "turd" was removed. "It feels flat, I feel like I got my skin back," she stated. "I feel free." She underwent superficial radiation treatment following the procedure to prevent the keloid from reforming. And Dr Lee said: "I'm so proud of how good she looks now that turd is off her chest.' Three weeks after the op, Chalamar was ready to show of chest and hit the town. "So glad I get to be hot again," she said. 9 9
