Day 6

I knew it was coming, I was just hoping it wouldn't. I woke up this itchy this morning and I was both scared and eager to look in the mirror.

 

These were taken before work.

This would be about the time I would freak out and go lather on Protopic. The protopic would burn, and sometimes cause small hives. But was the only thing that helped keep the eczema at bay.

What I did notice the most for the first few days was how swollen I was. Edema.... I think that's what it's called. Either way super swollen. To the point where it hurt to move.
