Azelaic acid. Might just be my life saver! In the same risk category as Tylenol, I am willing to give it a try. The dermatologist gave me some samples, and though it is usually used for rosacea or acne, it is a drying acid made from wheat. I was told not to use it on the gaping wound type areas because it might be too irritating [as if oozing, itching, and bleeding isn't already too irritated.] I ignored that advice and put it on all the spots on my face. Already it is drying out the areas and taking away the redness. I may be moving on to the areas on my chest and arms tonight.
There may be hope yet!

It's official. I am working on my leper status.
The Poison Ivy is popping up all over my body now. And I love all the little tiny blisters that threaten to be so much more... But at least my eyes aren't swollen shut.
Seriously, is there a concealer that works on crusty and oozy?
I fear not.

It doesn't look that bad, really! I'm really praying that nasty poison ivy goes away really fast!
It doesn't look as bad as last time...
Ouch.
Visiting for the first time.
That sucks. Hope it clears up soon.
