Atopic Eczema. Or interchangeably, Eczema is used with Dermatitis.
That's what I was suffering on my face and neck for the past 8 months.
It started with just a dry skin on my cheek, and then spreaded to my neck, and also create small patches in my other parts of my face.
The worst thing is that it causes redness to my skin.
And I mean bright red like the ones that makeup you called blusher.
I went to polyclinic three times for this problem until the doc decides that I need to go to the skin centre.
My appointment was suppose to be tomorrow, but the problem was getting on my nerves.
I hate people asking me what happen to my face.
It was so disturbing that I have lost so much confidence with this face of mine.
Everytime I'm out, I will always be touching my face to make sure whether it needs more moisturiser.
But thank god, I manage to get an appointment last week instead.
So the cause of this eczema is not fully known.
But the genes play an important part.
So the moment the doc was saying that, I thought that I was adopted because none of my family members are having it.
That was some wild thought eh.
And, the sad thing is that it cannot be cured.
And so another thought came to my mind.
"Walao, this is like having AIDS sia."
Ish!
So that means that I need to take extra care for my face.
Can't really depend much on commercial skin products but the doc's cream instead.
The prescription cream that was given to me works like magic.
Within 2 days, my face goes back to normal.
No more dry skin and no more redness.
WEHOOOOOO.
Was so so thankful that the prescription given were working.
But, last few days, I see some dryness on parts of my face.
It seems like the magic spell on the cream has run off.
:(
Ok maybe its not the cream fault uh.
Maybe I should stop touching my face when I'm working.
(Yeah, I was so happy that my skin is super smooth that sometimes when I'm working, I stop halfway to touch my face)
I'm handling with different kinds of papers, so I really need to be careful.
I need to remind myself of the scary HPB advert on the hands, when I wanna touch my face.
Confirm, I don't dare touch my face after that, haha.
And maybe also because I started to use light makeup.
I need to make sure that it has fully recovered before having any makeup on my face.
So for now, I need to potray my natural beauty to the world instead.
AISEYBEDAH, hehe
On a good note, the neck has fully recovered.
Alhamdulillah
Yeah (do the happy dance!)
