    Default body is a total mess right now - advice on 'cleaning up' and all?

    so my body is kind of a mess right now.

    the spider bite and subsequent infections are almost totally healed though each bite still has a scab on it and an area of skin that is looks unhealthier than the rest, though for both sites could pass as bruises if not for the scabs and the feint signs of skin peeling. really pulled out of that one in a fortunate way even if the scabs are each going to be leaving pit scars that will be about the size of a dime.

    on top of that my legs below the knee are covered in little red spots where i had mosquito bites. i have this compulsive habit of scratching at mosquito bites until they are scratched down to the level of the rest of my skin and leave behind scabbed areas. they then end up leaving these little pock marks that some people think are scars from cigarette burns. they usually disappear after a few months but they are definitely not attractive while they are around. then there are the tanlines which are just kind of obnoxious because was spending a lot of time in the sun wearing a-shirts and such.

    on the positive side i have been losing weight for various reasons. eating healthier portions and walking my dog every day for at least half an hour has been contributing some real goodness and i am pleased with the results. so there is that. but i am not entirely sure what to do about the other stuff. i think the route i should be going is gentle exfoliation for the little dead skin areas from the spider bites and mosquito bites, and definitely the tanning salon to help get rid of the tanlines, but i guess the only option for the other stuff is coverup makeup. but i do not really know anything about coverup makeup stuff or if there are other things i could be doing to help with appearance stuff as well. if there are any good products for scar reduction that actually work that people here have had experience with, that would be pretty swank also.

    i can has advice now?

    halp?

    It can be difficult to make a recently single man pay for sex when he knows that a quick trip to the local watering hole would secure at least one hard drunken tumble for far less cash. It is even more difficult when he is something of a dead ringer for James Bond as played by Daniel Craig and possesses the sort of awkard charm and confidence that brands a man like him as a lady killer.

    it is just kind of happening because of random habit changes.

    It can be difficult to make a recently single man pay for sex when he knows that a quick trip to the local watering hole would secure at least one hard drunken tumble for far less cash.
