Horrible Back Acne with Bananas?

I was going to be getting pretty close with my bacne but guess what? I chickened out. I was typing it but felt like it would be too much. So let me just do this without pictures. Due to hormones, stress and a poor diet, my back has been just filled with painful cysts that hurt even when I laid down. Even with my trusty combo of Stridex and body wash wasn't enough to help calm the inflammation. I saw this post on Pintrest about bananas and acne. If you Google it there are precise instructions on what to do.

After applying the peel and going to sleep in it, my back seemed to turn a darker shade of red and the pain wasn't as bad. After two days of use the pain was gone, it was now a darker red rather than the bright red but the bumps still remained. I ran out of bananas on the fourth and final day but it seems as if my back has calmed down. My sister, the best and the kindest sister alive (who applied the bananas on my back) claimed that she didn't see much improvement but I honestly felt like it did. Before the peels, the pimples were tender to touch and were gradually getting worse. After the first overnight treatment, it seemed better. The only thing that may have contributed to the failure department is that my back still is pock marked by lots of scars and marks. It claimed to help get rid of scars but naw.

This post may have been more effective with pictures but honestly, I don't have the courage to post them. I'm pretty embarrassed and pretty sensitive about it and I don't want others to see it. Sorry.

I've also noticed a lot of grammatical and just stupid mistakes that I've made when I don't proofread my posts. Geez. I've been going back and fixing some stuff but why didn't anyone tell me about this? So much egg on my face.

How you doing?

Hey~ Not sure if I'm ready to blog regularly again but it seems like things are calming down now. I mentioned a recent medical incident on the post before, and it seems like things are better. To make a long story short, my father recently had his gall bladder removed. I know that it's not a particularly big surgery but my father has never been sick and has never been to the doctor. However, my mother called me at the crack of dawn, telling me to call for the ambulance since he wasn't feeling well. He's doing well now and everything is fine but we've all been on pins and needles. My mother is also having complications with her nasal passages and the family has just been completely swamped and overwhelmed. Thank goodness everything seems to be well and if you've been sending positive thoughts my way... Thank you.

This hasn't been good for my skin and my back has broken out like crazy. I was planning on improving my body because I plan on going on vacation in December ( hate NY in the wintertime)and have been working on fitting into a bikini. Now I'm not to sure that it's going to happen. I saw something on Pintrest and have been trying it out for my back and I'll post something up on it soon.
