Imperfect Skin

I know what you're thinking, God: "Here comes another critique of my creation, just because some guy has an underarm rash and an itchy scalp." Surprise! I am here to congratulate you, not to scold you.

You're right -- I went to see a dermatologist today to clear up these minor medical anomalies. And he did just that, with a simple cortisone shot and two prescriptions. The doc has given me both prescriptions in the past, as well as the cortisone shot (right buttock, if you're scoring this at home), so I know they will bring me quick relief. The reason I'm congratulating you is because I have no problems with an occasional visit to clear up imperfect skin. I win because it's not life-threatening, and the doctor wins because he is one office visit richer. But what really impresses me is how you concocted such a simple, yet rewarding scheme for all participants.

I wish everything in life could be resolved so painlessly.
