Ahh! I hate this condition!

February 25, 2002

Two nights ago I was thinking of posting a message letting you all know how well

I thought Photoderm was working for me, and recommending any people considering

it should give it a try. My skin looked great except for this little rash of

red bumps around my mouth that had recently appeared. I rarely flushed, barely

looked red, and even the swelling had gone down! My skin had looked

consistantly good for almost 2 weeks too, it wasnt even one of those 1 or 2 days

of goodluck... I was even thinking of strollin' down to where an ex-g/f of mine

works so she could see how good I looked. (I try not to be shallow when I can

help it, but she broke up with me a while back when I first developed cea,

cuz she didn't find me attractive enough anymore - Ya, thats what she said)

Now the redness is back full force! The flushing is back and then some.. The

rash of little red bumps around my mouth has become Horribly noticable! I have

a similar rash on my forehead and around my hairline too!(temples, sideburns,

nothing on the back of my neck or anything). The Swelling is back 110% as well.

And I can't even sleep it off or anything because I am swamped with HW and

finals for the next two days.

AHH this problem is SO frustrating... I really had to vent.

Thanks

What a terrible ex-girlfriend. Let's hope others are just as kind to

her.

Are you on any oral antibiotics? If not, minocycline 100 mg bid.
