Long time no talk, everyone! I'm about to hit month 15 and things are just going ok. My neck is the worst problem area right now, being constantly itchy and still red. It goes through a lot of mini flares, for example today it was very very slightly bumpy which is a telltale sign of a flare. However, I haven't had a major neck flare in more than a month! My arms have gotten WAY better but I tend to scratch them a lot which sets me back. I no longer see that burning tsw redness on my arms, wrists, and shoulders, but again my habit of scratching is apparent with all the scabs...I tell myself not to scratch but at times you just can't help it. My face is doing pretty much the same: clear everywhere except for in between the eyes/eyelids and around my mouth. These areas are ok to handle some light makeup, but I am unsure if it is only aggravating the redness.
Living in SoCal, the ninety-degree weather has commenced. One of the most annoying things about tsw for me is having to cover up my arms, which means no t-shirts or tanktops whatsoever. This is especially troubling when I walk a mile home after school each day when the sun is the strongest. It just gets so. Hot. If anyone has any recommendations for lightweight longsleeve clothing, please let me know!
