When Pain is Good!

Had a bad rash attack. It could have been due to being overtired, or having eaten bad food for 2 days and no exercise. What ever it was, it wasn't going away fast. Hives were breaking out all over and the normal distractors of praying, trying to send myself to sleep, keeping my hands occupied were not helping the stress of the itch.

Instead a luke warm shower with dead sea salt rubbed all over my body, substituted the itch for pain. Well by the time I got round to having another shower, I had already created scratches on the skin surface.

The pain was hard, but the dead sea salt did the trick and perhaps leached out something that had got onto the skin surface. The rashes calmed down almost immediately after!

I want clear skin by the end of this year!!!

Watching Hives Appear

I wake up in the morning and although I had to wake up once during the night to have a cold shower to reduce the itching on the legs, the skin on the arms is looking quite good.

Continuing on with a normal morning routine of creaming down the skin (aloe vera first to soothe and heal the skin, followed by a covering with emulsifying ointment to act as a barrier). I don't know what happened in the next couple of minutes, perhaps I rubbed some dust into my skin or the fresh t-shirt I put on had dust on it, but little bumps started to appear on my arm. My back began to feel intensely itchy and I knew this was bad. A cold shower helped a little but with the whole back now feeling itchy and both arms covered with hives, I needed to take an antihistamine.

So I will probably have to go to sleep soon again!
