Zaphod Beeblebrox

One of the more concerning parts of this proto-flu I have been suffering from for the last few days is that I have suddenly broken out in a series (I would say rash, but that would be an awful pun), of very large, deep lying spots. Not you usual teenage style breakout. Not acne either. Just red lumps that sit there painfully. On my back. In my ear. But most worryingly of all, on the very tip of my nose. Like an extra head. Only more noticeable. Another 2 months and I could have had gainful employment in a department store with a pair of these:



Now the issue for me is, clearly these appear when I am run down, so does this mean I am to resemble an overly hormonal teenager (I already do, some of you may add) each and every time I get a cold over the winter. This could be a never ending cycle. I look after my skin these days (as a true metrosexual should), and I've been using Witchhazel to try and draw the crap out, but to no avail. I eat healthily. I even exercise. So what is one to do? Answers on a postcard please...

What about a sauna? Steam might get some of those zits to explode and leave you with a glow.

True, true. I do enjoy a good steam. It is just about impossible to get one in London without either joining a gym/paying an extortionate entrance fee or ending up in a questionable sauna staffed entirely by Thai ladyboys.

How is your b'day, by the way - a parcelichka is on its way to Berlin.

The vegetable steamer bequeathed to me by my mother came in surprisingly useful as a mini-sauna - don't worry, it is no longer used for cooking, but it opened my pores beautifully, without recourse to birch twigs and Russian beer.

I only like the smell of the banya/sauna. Once I'm actually in there, gasping for breath, and then freezing the second you step out of the steam-room, I can never see the point. Gay saunas almost seem logical now that I've written this. Come and steam yourself and then freeze, but at least get laid into the bargain.
