I admit, this is the silliest question ever...

Ok, this will sound ridiculous, but it is really stressing me out! I have 2 interviews tomorrow, one for a suoervisory position, one is for work in a medical office. I needed a change from home health, and I am getting good response from my resume.

Here is the problem. I have been sick with a cold for a few weeks, lots of coughing and sinus problems. 2 days ago i developed a huge area of nasty blisters under my nose that is now a mixture of blisters, scabs and bright red areas. Assuming it is from the virus and blowing my nose so much. This is big-probably a total of 2+_ inches from side of nose to even with upper lip., Impossible to cover with concealer because it is not flat, just looks like I tried to cover it up. AAArrrrggggg! I am SO self conscious and it definately looks bad. Even my best friends have conceded that it is pretty hideous. Aside from going with the new "bandit" look with a bandanna around my face I am in panic mode.

Should I cancel my interviews or suck it up???

What would YOU do?????

Feel free to laugh.

Thanks

I would slap a big dressing on it and go on the interviews.I'd claim it's a minor injury-then I'd get to the doctor.You need to get that cleared up fast-who knows what you've got brewing,hun.........Good luck PS-I am NOT going to laugh.When I was in high school I used a famous depillatory on my uni-brow.It looked like raw ground beef.I stayed home from school the next day and cut myself some bangs

Don't cancel the interview, I am sure your interviewer will appreciate you making the effort.

Take some flu relief meds, dress yourself up and go for it

Good luck, let us know how it turns out
