I was going to write a post about my current skincare regime, and note how well it has been working for me in the past month – however, this week a couple of the weird patches of irritated skin have resurfaced, AGAIN! I made an appointment with my dermatologist finally – this is just getting ridiculous. I think a big part of the issue is that its quite cold here in Hali lately, and walking to and from work every day is really taking a beating on my skin. I’m not usually so sensitive to the weather, so it’s frustrating to say the least. In any case, hopefully the derm can give me something or have some useful suggestions because I’m getting really tired of worrying about my skin all the time. It’s not just my face – I have eczema which is a regular battle too – and, additionally, almost every year around this time I get a weird rash all over my back and limbs. Researching it online says it’s Pityriasis rosea (non-contagious virus), but apparently it shouldn’t be re-occuring, and this will be at least the 7th time I’ve gotten it since 2001. Arghhhh!! And, of course, I just started dating a new guy (who I would just like to comment is AWESOME
so it’s even more inconvenient/embarrassing.
*SIGH*
Anyone else have any skin issues they’d like to be rid of once and for all??

Oh no! Sounds terrible! Clearly something about the season is trigging this outbreak. I hope it goes away soon. And good luck with the new guy!
