So hello my lovelies, I had such long days yesterday and today, hospital and more hospital lol.
Went for my check up with my Dermatologist yesterday, we are both happy with how things are going, looks like we have found the dose of steroid tablets that suit me and my skin, while I had a flare up last week, there were 2 good factors in it, the first was that it wasn't as fierce as it would normally be and the second is that other than 1 little one there were no actual pustules in this flare up..normally there would be anywhere from 20-50 as a rule, so that is real progress and we have decided for now to leave the medication as it is with me increasing the dose for a week should I have future flare ups, which I am chuffed to bits with, my hands and feet haven't been this settled (touch wood) for about 8 years now so
While I was there I got the Dermatologist to look at the spots on my face and neck (remember I put the pictures up), I assumed they were an allergy, seems I am wrong, I am in fact a confirmed teenager :8855:...it's Acne, I never had a single spot or blemish on my face when I was growing up, like my mother I had perfect peaches and cream skin, my dermatologist seems to think it may have been brought about by me accidentally getting some of my steroid cream on my face possibly while I was asleep and has consequently put me on a 6 week course of antibiotics called Tetralysal 300mg, never heard of them before :hmm:
So with my tablets for my cholesterol, my simvastatins, my diabetes tablets (2 different ones, Metformin and Glyclazide), my painkillers and ibuprofen for my back, my steroids for my hands and feet and the ointment too, I am now on antibiotics for bloody acne of all things ....:giggle:, so you see I now rattle when I walk lol
But the good news is I have found the most glorious face cream and soap, I don't use soap on my face as it brings me up in rashes, but I do use it elsewhere...I found this soap and cream by fluke and they are amazing...and for a good cream and soap they are also very cheap, if you suffer with any dry skin or the likes these are worth a try.
The soap is Ayuuri Natural Neem Soap 100g @ £1.36 a bar and the cream is Ayuuri Natural Neem Face Cream 200g @ £4.07 both of which are on special in Tesco right now....I wouldn't normally put that on here but I am really impressed with these and think others that may have any skin problems like me, could benefit from using these.
So lovelies, I am going to have a little mooch about and then I am off to my bed...so nighty night lovelies and sweet dreams :zz: xxxx
