Day 5 Picato
Today, I'm feeling pretty low. I've woken up with a swollen face again and hard scabby shell on my face. It is itchy, dry and stinging. I'm feeling low as I'd hoped my Monday or Tuesday I could go out in public with just a few sores on my face but this is just major and not looking to ease off any time soon.
I have a show and run cool water over my face, which softens the scabs. When they have dried off a little I apply coconut oil and frankincense oil. It smarts a little, it didn't yesterday. I also applied vitamin E yesterday.
I have bought some surgical masks to cover my face. I have 3 public events booked over the next 2 days. Do I go and cover my face? Do I just go, meeting strangers saying "this is who I am", or do I cancel? I don't know what to do.
Feeling low, drained and tired. The discomfort is not easing at all. My skin even seems redder. Hoping tomorrow I see improvement but I may even call the doctor.
Have just done another coating of oil. My skin is drinking it up! Seems that the discomfort stems from where the tight scabs are. I picked off a little from the side of my nose and it stung but now feels good (even though it is very pink and tender). I'm too scared to do too much as the skin is very delicate. It doesn't run with blood, but does bring little dots to the surface. Might be too soon. Can you tell from the pics I'm feeling pretty low today?
