He looked into my eyes and touched my face lightly. It's "eczema". Gosh! How could that be? To me, eczema is a skin condition which is hereditary and causes the affected site to be itchy...I shot questions at the doctor asking him why it happened and he said that it could be the cosmetics I used, but the thing is that I used nothing but toner and oxy cover! Have used them for years, but nothing happened and why it occurred now? Could it be the evening primrose capsule I religiously popped every night? Or the Simple facial cleanser that Fat Boy lent me? Or because I did not wash my face straight after the cycling trip?Or could it be the fine sand that I picked up from the Bintan seabed and rubbed onto my face in Bintan?
I looked into the mirror and noticed a pinkish patch on the right side of my face. Right side again! The right side of my face has always caused me problems. First, it was the 2 blemishes near the jaw. Though they were tiny, as a perfectionist, I cannot stand them and now this. What the hell. Days passed, the hope of the pinkish patch disappearing was dashed when a 2ndArghh...I nearly committed kamikaze. I tried convincing myself that it might be some rashes and they would go away in a few days' time. "Just give it sometime. Just give it sometime, it will definitely go away"...Tried to mitigate the situation by applying loads of oxy cover onto the patches. Oxy cover does help to exterminate pimples because of its anti-bacterial properties right?
A week passed and I saw no improvement. Seemed like the condition had worsened because they started to itch after I came out of the bathroom or when I was sleeping. I felt super demoralised. What should I do if they remained like that forever? Was I going to be 钟无艳? I shuddered at the mere thought of it. Well, after much self-help and the rate that the itch and patches were going, I decided to seek the help of the doctor. Even if he was going to prick a long fat needle into the patches, I would willingly let him do it.
The doctor's $41 solution consisted of eczema cream and anti-itch tablets for both morning and night. Boo....Right now, a thin layer of cream is on the pink patches and of course, as usual, the tablets are left lying around. I am not going to take the medicine because it is not good for the liver. Anyway, I know I can do without the medicine : ) I just need the damn cream!~
All I hope now is to get a clear complexion with zero blemishes...Damn! Is it so difficult to ask for?
