Stop Scratching! the skin on your face, especially around your eyes WILL NOT HEAL unless you stop picking at it. I understand it's fun, like picking scabs, but what are you Twelve? It won't be our fault if CB runs screaming over the weekend from how silly you look.

brain, I expect you to be all over this.

Thanks,
your face.

*smacks you on the back of the head*
I keep telling you that I can help you with that. But do you listen? Noooooooooooo....

no actually you can't
This is something that just needs to heal, and as long as I'm more careful, won't happen again. I have stuff to rub in, it doesn't work. And at this point, I have little tears on my face, so the thing that's actually working is the antibiotic cream for wounds. And it's healing nicely, I just just don't want to put it around my eyes and there's dry skin flaking off.

Feh, if I spot test with my hair dye next time I won't have this issue. I DO want some of your stuff, but it's the money thing still. *pouts* And I hate saying that.

As an avowed picker, your only option is socks on your hands. When I had poison ivy I had to sleep with them on as otherwise I'd scratch in my sleep.

Make yourself an oatmeal mask. Just finely ground up oats and enough warm water to make a paste. It will soothe your face, might help it heal more quickly, and will make it feel less itchy. Best of all this is cheap, and can be done as often as needed so that you are more comfortable.
