Traditional reading

Something rising up on your face meant what had built up inside coming to the surface. A pimple bursting or being squeezed was seen as old worries resolving and money coming in, while a face covered in them warned of gossip.

Through the heart

It's a worry that feelings or stress you've held inside might show on the outside. It often comes when there's something you want to hide.
