WW: My Armpit!

I am speckled with beauty marks.

I am freckle-icious.

I am mole-tastic.

I have one in particular that drives me crazy, as it is located in my armpit as I have clearly labeled on the fabulous drawing below.



(As much as I love you, Internet...I didn't think you needed a picture of my actual Moley PIT.
You're welcome.)

Anyway, I have a problem with this mole because it is raised slightly.

And every now and then, like yesterday, I nick it when I am shaving that particular pit.

This causes ouchiness and blood.

And have you ever tried to put a band-aid on your armpit?

Yeah...notsomuch with the sticking.

I actually tried to wear the bandaid on my pit at the gym and it was all flopping around and I am SURE people were thinking, "What the HELL is going on with her PIT?" so finally I just ripped it off and hoped for the best.

Gah.


See why I need have my armpit hair lasered off so badly?

Bleeding armpits are CRAP.


Aren't you SO glad you came by here today?

Angie's pits are fabulous.

Great drawing Jenni! I had a mole very similar (as far as I can tell from the drawing). I had it removed and it was one of the best things I ever did. I kept nicking the darn thing.

Alicia said...

hahaaa! that's awesome!! that picture is a keeper!

I don't want to alarm you, but it's probably cancer.

Dedene said...

Better go see a dermitologist. Not to alarm you, but these moles can't be good.

blueviolet said...

I don't think you need to get rid of it completely. Just have them move it to a place that doesn't need shaving, like your ass.

Tammy Howard said...

Have you considered a side career in illustration?

Um....

I...

You...

There are simply mo words to describe this post. But keep an eye out for an award somewhere, i'm sure someone will honor it.

;-)

Love your pits!

Terra said...

I have one in the middle of my stomach...thankfully I don't shave there!

Jenni said...

not only do we have the same name but also the same mole.

i had mine removed, as recommended by the dermatoligist (did I spell that right? it looks wrong.)

Hit 40 said...

I am glad that I popped by!!! Moles in the morning. Excellent.

It takes every ounce of me to control myself not to ask "why don't you get that awful hairy witch mole removed from your face" to dear friends of mine.

Hmmm ... I have a tiny mole in my pit too. Yes, shaving is tricky business isn't it. :(

Amy A.K.A. "The Mrs." said...

lol....great story and illustration. Thanks for sparing us the real pitty-pit picture.

Elaine A. said...

You are a wonderful artist. And I'm sorry about your "pitty" mole...

Heather aka (the not SO) SuperMommy said...

what? ust looka at that pic. Now THOSE are *fabulous pits ;)

Rita/Fighting Off Frumpy said...

That was the very first thought that sprang to mind when you said (or, rather, illustrated) that you had a mole in your pit: that's gotta be a b*tch to shave!

robin said...

When I need artistic renderings of my body issues, now I know who to come to!

Missy (Two Little Monkeys) said...

Love your mad drawing skills! I, too, am quite moley - UGH! moles suck!

♥georgie♥ said...

LOL LOVE the drawing! we are a moley family-hubby has regular visits to the derm to have them lasered off

Annie said...

You are such the artist. Can I get a signed copy?
Go have it removed!

I shave off my raised knee surgery scar. That hurts, too!

valentine said...

maybe you should invent the arm pit band-aid. from reading the comments, sounds like many people suffer this affliction. you could be their hero( and make millions of course. i mean, its all about the money)

Jen said...

You know what, I totally understand b/c I have a very similar problem. The bleeding suck but the then when the cut heals and the itching starts, that is torture cause it is not good to walk around all day itching ones pit.

Sarah said...

Why when I read moley pit did I think moldy pit and then had a vision of a small furry poorly visioned creature with penicillin issues hanging onto your pit hair for dear life while you pedaled your tail off on some demonic spin bike?

Man, I'm glad you illustrated so that I could clear up that confusion!

Jenn said...

I have a similar mole near my pit that always gets irritated by my bra. I hate it and have considered whacking it off myself since it would cost around three hundred freaking dollars to have it done for me!

Swoozie said...

Great drawing and explanation of it all ~~~~ LOL!

I've got one of those things on my leg; and when it gets shaved over accidently ~~~ well, all I can say is !#*!^! It is killer.

MommyJ said...

laughing. laughing very loud.

girlytwins said...

I am so dying right now. I would have loved to see a lady with a band aid hanging from her pit :) I have a mole that causes me issues too. They suck!

Firefly@www.firefly-shop.org said...

LMAO so glad I stopped by today ;)

Audrey at Barking Mad said...

There is only ONE thing WORSE than a bleeding armpit. It's putting on deodorant after you've nicked said armpit. OUCHIES.

Nina said...

Such great art talent. I found you post funny today only because I have one of those very moles in the same place and it is a royal pain.

Just A Mom (Call me JAM for short) said...

They are sooo easy to remove... and hurts sooo much less than trying to shave it off yourself!

Reading this blog entry is kinda like the time when my mom and Aunt Mildred headed outside to butcher chickens, but not before warning us kids to NOT look the window. I did anyway. EW! LOL! Good luck with that moley-oley.

Michelle said...

Honey, from one freckle-icious, mole-tastic chic to another.......call the dermatologist and get that baby cut off!

Love the drawing.

sues2u2 said...

I think that drawing needs to go to a museum somewhere. Such talent & what a way w/ colors! *g*

In the words of most of the others; Get it removed by a dermatologist! (I pinched off one of those skin tag ones & man, do they bleed. Not to mention that the derm dr gives you a bad time about it. Sheesh!)

angie said...

So glad I stopped by. :) That mole sounds really annoying!

CaraBee said...

So funny! Get that thing removed. Stat!

Pamela Kramer said...

Um sure. I just learned something new - lol. Happy WW come on by when you get a chance.

Mike said...

Firstly, I am beginning to creep myself out since I seem to be the only guy commenting on all these female inspired/run/focused blogs. That little voice is telling me to stay away and stop. My id is being quite belligerent about it and thus far winning that battle.

Ok, all I wanted to say was, oh gawd. Looking for a little light reading while waiting for my insulin and copaxone to not be like ice for the injections and what do I see. Pits.

Well pit to be technically correct. But still. And not just any pit. A wonderfully, and professionally, illustrated pit. Choking on the ice cream (and not that nasty sugar-free junk either) and trying not to laugh is hard. Have you ever coughed and sneezed at the same time? Liberating and gawd awful painful in one brief moment.

At any rate, thanks for the laugh. I need one.

Toodles!

Mike

WhisperingWriter said...

Dang moles.

I have a few on my back.

Muthering Heights and Other Senseless Sensibility said...

Ow, that sounds nasty!

Molly said...

Haha!
Go have it removed, then you are shaving in the clear.

kailani said...

Just thinking about you nicking your pit makes my stomach ache. Ouch!

Stacy (the Random Cool Chick) said...

You've made me feel much better about the mole on my back...thankfully I don't have to shave my back and worry about nicking it... :)

Kekibird said...

Oh good god that sucks. I have a little raised scar on my knee I nick every time and it really sucks cuz they bleed like crazy.

Tiaras said...

oh I have one of those - I went to the derm to have it taken off - and she informed me that she would take it off but it is cosmetic and I would have to pay for it myself! &*^%$

MamaJoss said...

brings to mind my favorite "Uncle Buck" movie quote:

"Because they're ALL good kids, until dried-out, brain-dead skags like you drag them down and convince them they're no good. You so much as scowl at my niece, or any other kid in this school, and I hear about it, and I'm coming looking for you!

[of Anita's mole]

Take this quarter, go downtown, and have a rat gnaw that thing off your face! Good day to you, madam."

Your poor pit mole.

Serioulsy I cannot visit your blog and be sipping on any sort of beverage...I always spit it across the room - you crack me up.
