Last night was something else! You know when you pull your shirt off over your head and the static electricity zaps you? Well, multiply that by 10 and constant over your face and neck. Needless to say, I didn't get much sleep last night. Tried the Eucerin Aquaphor and an ice pack...didn't help.
On a more positive note, when I was in the shower this morning, I used a soft wash cloth and gently exfoliated the dry scabbing around my mouth and chin. Then applied the Eucerin Aquaphor...what a difference, my chin is totally soft, not leather-like and doesn't burn today. When I can stand to exfoliate the other scabbing areas I will do the same. It's amazing because where I exfoliated I use to have tons of freckles and they're now gone and skin appears to be baby smooth! Still needs to heal, but hopefully baby smooth will be the result :)
The redness seems to be lightening up and the burning is less. But this nerve-like, static electricity zaps are unreal. Yesterday, I had a major nerve zap in my cheek and when I looks in the mirror I have a new sore that looked like it had erupted from the inside out...crazy sci-fi stuff?
There are a few areas on my face that I decided to continue applying the Efudex cream for 2-3 more days. It just seemed like my nose, cheeks (just under my eyes), temples and forehead hadn't progressed like the rest of my face, neck and chest. So we'll see what happens.
In these pictures, you can really see a transformation in my skin. This is exciting.
