Ugh

I just went to pee, and the giant mirror in the bathroom tells an AWFUL sight.

My face and neck are WORSE than this morning.
*sighs*
I look like I've been badly beaten.
See, this morning instead of applying the white petrolium jelly goo, that's been keeping my face hydrated, I decided to go with the cream, the one that's supposed to stop itching. As my face was drying, and healing, I figured the cream, with extra moisture was the way to go.

Well it worked for about an hour. Now I look bloody awful.
To those seeing me tonight - never fear, I will be completely covered in makeup, which will totally cover everything, AND have the added benefit of being mosturizing too. I'm thinking I need to stop at CVS for a different powder, so not to aggravate anything if it is indeed myface powder causing this mess.

I'm sore - things are dry. I'm looking forward to getting home and washing my face, which will make a vast improvement.
This is part of the healing process - trust me it'll be much better tomorrow. I'm just horrified someone has to see me like this, and think I have an abuser in my closet. Maybe some goo before I leave the office (which will be soon)

Yeah - it's a toss up between a dermatologist and an allergist. I REALLY thought it was the hair dye, and THIS just cropped up unexpectedly. I'm going to find one in the next week, and then if it happens again next month, rush in there and say "SEE THIS IS WHAT THE FUCK!" It really doesn't do any good if I don't have something to show them, and it's all dying down.

I really really thought I'd figured it out. *sighs* I just have to keep using the dry skin stuff and NOTHING else til it's gone. I'm about to wash my face, and we'll see what happens.

Poop. Just plain ole poop.
