14 weeks.

I've just had a shower so I'm slightly more redder than normal. Skin - dry but not flaky.

3 Months In!!

Too tired...

Just keep swimming

SO RED. Hrrr.

I'm a believer

Today after my usual gentle exfoliation of my face, the most amazing thing happened. Under all that grainy flaky mess was baby soft skin, red.... Yes,  but not dry. I can't stop touching my face. It feels so.... Normal.

I'm sure it'll turn back to scalyness by tomorrow, but just feeling that skin makes me feel more optimistic. I sometimes have niggling doubts about whether this topical steroid withdrawal malarkey is real but now, I'm a believer.

Also was looking at photos of myself before I stopped using protopic/steroids and I always always had dark red patches on my cheeks, even with my layers of foundation  and concealer. It was horrible having to depend on a cream to look halfway decent.  I refuse to go back to that! Neverrrr.
