Somehow, it doesn't feel like how everyone makes it out to be.

I'm not jumping for joy...
I'm not taken unaware with a shock...
I'm not itching to go let everyone know...
I'm not worried and afraid of the unknowns ahead...

...if anything, I'm relieved and just somewhat satisfied... for now.

2 week episode of RASH!!

Like all itch related rash GF's been having in the past, a little of cool-burn ointment usually helps. Soothing, and distraction from more scratching, to allow it to recover on its own. However, with this one, the area and itch just seemed to keep growing!

31 Jul 2010:  Original itchy rash spots on ankle & behind knee

6 Aug 2010: Flaring up beyond original spots to whole ankle & area behind knee


9 Aug 2010: Dr.Zalmy (an ex classmate, now a dermatologist) recommends we stop our balms and ointments [left] which may be making it worse, and use medicated creams instead... and oh, there happens to be some at home in her cabinet [right]. By now, the rash has started to become more diffuse and less sharp.

11 Aug 2010: The knee seems almost recovered, and the ankle's original spot has returned to normal skin while the surrounding spread area is recovering.

16 Aug 2010: Just as recovery was almost complete, a little more flared up on the ankle and on the side of the knee... but they went away quite quickly with a bit of cream. Phew....
