Update as of 30th June
(My skin before I went BKK)
So i tried out creams given by the polyclinic, hydroderm + aquaeous cream. After a short 2 weeks, I've finished up the creams and i'm back to square one again. I'm not sure if I need a higher dosage? Or I need to use those creams longer?
I went for my short trip in BKK and came back with even more inflamed skin ): Maybe it's because of the bad air there? (more dust etc...)
(My skin in BKK)
I'm having flakes all over the place. I look like i have dandruff on my face.
It's super itchy throughout the day and just itchy. So when itchy, I just scratch. Scratch first, regret later...
This is my skin when I first woke up, super red and patchy already.. I feel so much tightness in my skin... It's a horrible feeling.
I can't take it anymore and went to walk-in into NSC today. I can no longer wait until the August's Appt for subsidized rates. Just fuck it and pay the non-subsidized rates. Anything for my skin to heal man.
Doctor was ok? Not very detailed, but not very "sui bian" also.
I told her i was using cetaphil for bathing already. So she said I can stick with that.
I requested for an allergy/patch test, but she does not recommend at this stage. For me, I just want to know what trigger my eczema flare up.. But she mentioned that I will be diagnosed that I MIGHT be allergic to ABCDEFG items, it's not confirmed and i believe for sensitive skin people. Most of us are sensitive to sweat, dust, dirt, something like that?
She suggested that I visit her 1 month later for a follow-up again. Maybe i can request for a test again if my skin is not healing? hehe
Firstly, I am given some anti-itch medicine.. I took the night one 25mg once i reach home from the doctor, but don't feel sleepy thou. And still kinda itchy...
Next, this are creams that can be bought in retail stores like guardian and watsons.
Bioderma to apply on my arms and legs.
Physiogel is prescribed to be applied on my skin. I have been doing alot of googling and reading forums on the AI Creams. Some rave, some nahhh.. I guess i have to try it out to know.
Have applied a layer over my skin after the anti-itch medicine. It's a little oily, but my flakes are still here.... I hope the flakes go away asap.
This is the stronger anti-itch (tropical steroid) that I was given. Hope this does not thin my skin thou! But the application of this cream is easy and not painful to my skin. It glides on easily too.
Will update if I have any updates!
I'm on a journey to an itch free life!!!!!!
