That is why I am sad that I won't be doing anything for Halloween this year.
If only we could really be anything we wanted to be for one night!! Like...if there was a Halloween God who could grant us that wish...I'm sure we would all wish to have normal skin!! But I don't know...since it's only for that one night where my normal skin would be granted...I feel like when the wish is over, I would feel so much worse than before. Because I would know what it's like to have normal skin again...and I would be able to compare the immediate difference.
So maybe I would just wish to be invisible instead. Then I would go out and take a long walk without the stares. Or stalk people for fun.
Hey maybe I can still go out and celebrate. If I went out like this, people might think it's make-up and assume that I am dressing up to be a burnt victim or something...hah who am I kidding!
Anyway...here's a picture that is kind of gross.
This is what my skin looks like after a bath, and before moisturizing. Looks a lot redder in real life than in the picture. Beneath the yellow crusty ooze, it is cracked, hole-y, super itchy, burns, and is painful. After I apply my coconut oil though, the pain subsides.
Oh, I take epsom salt & olive oil baths right when I wake up, and again when my skin starts to feel dry. During the bath, I can relax and stretch out my body without the tight skin ripping!! After the bath, I am not as red, and not as dry! It also washes off the yellow crustiness and smell...so I feel a lot cleaner = subconsciously less itchy.
Positive thought of the day: All day I've been thinking of my future halloween plans!! Definitely going to go all out again...hopefully at this time next year, I will be healed!!!
