Eczema? Allergy? Rashes?
So storytime. One week after I came back from Taiwan trip. My legs started to feel itchy and there are many spots all over my legs. Looks small but it was so itchy and looks very different from my normal mosquito bites. My friend had bites during the trip and it was itchy for her during the Taiwan trip but for me, I got it on week after the trip. WHICH TO ME IT WAS TOTALLY WEIRD...
So a little fact about me is that I hated mosquito when I was really young. Because of mosquitoes every time I go back to Malaysia I would always be wearing long pants or jeans, other than that my whole family in Malaysia knows that I'm super scared of mosquitoes so they will somehow always prepare those mosquitos repellent things for me when we travel there. (IM SO THANKFUL FOR THAT!!) So the only result why is because when I get a mosquito bite it takes AGES TO HEAL and it will be SUPER SWOLLEN RED AND HARD. I'm not even exaggerating because my sisters who get it would heal the next day or like two days while mine takes weeks and what's worst it will leave scars. Growing older and fatter now the bites don't swell as much compared to when I'm 10? But still, it looks pretty bad. And I have seen anyone's mosquito bites being as bad as mine before so yeah. Also, I always like to describe my bites as volcano/mountain cause is so swollen it looks scary.
Last year was also the year when I know that I have lip eczema. WHICH TOTALLY SUCKS TOO because I love my lip tints and from that day when I was diagnosed I didn't use them at all, okay maybe like twice until now for events. So my lip tints now are all going to the bin soon. T^T
Okay back to these bites, came back during September 2019 went to see the doctor 6 times and until now March 2020. I'm not getting better but more red spots are coming out. Throughout this whole 6 months, I have just been suffering from itchy legs, arms and now even face and back. Took oral medicine, applied cream and even took a jab. Still not recovering.
It kind of sucks because I'm not the only one suffering. My mum is also worried about me I MEAN OF CAUSE THE MONEY. ( FYI, with all the money spent on this I can be flying back and forth to Taiwan again...) It kind of sucks to know that I'm the only one getting this because my friend is totally fine and she is having a good life. While I'm here suffering from the start of my internship until the end of the internship.
The only thing now I do pray for is to stop the itch. I mean because of this I haven been sleeping well. I don't even care about my scars anymore like someone just stops this itch. I mean I'm kind of sad and feel like shit because before this thing came I always take care of my legs and apply oil to lighten my scars. But now that my legs just look like the worst thing that could happen I kind of gave up taking care because the only thing I feel now is itch. I didn't expect that I had to face this during my holiday like I just wanted a piece and quiet one but I guess God just wants to give me some things to do.
--------------------
After going for a consultation and it cost $400. I'm finally healing. My itch has reduced and the red patches are starting to become brown? Apparently, when it becomes brown it means it's healing, which means my body is gonna have full of scars :(( but you know what on a bright side it's not itchy anymore!! :D
I went for a follow up session after that and I was glad that the itchy area which was hives the patches are starting to get smaller. So another $400 gone after this consultation.
--------------------
I think it’s my skin being sensitive. After 2 weeks from the follow up the patches are not itchy any more but my previous spots from Taiwan are starting to itch again. Kinda don’t know what to do because I do have that problem sometimes even before I had the bug-bitten spots from Taiwan. I just pray and hope things will only get better because I don’t want to get into any trouble to worry my mum anymore.
