i have to apologise first, because i actually went through a 1 month flare (my flare is small anyways since my condition is so mild in the first place) and i did not even monitor / document it. it started growing, and became larger, to a size about 5cm wound but it is healed.
left leg, i remember scratching it every night for 2-3 weeks when it flare up into a 5cm wound, but i did not even bothered to monitor it and this pic is unfortunately taken when it is almost fully healed now.
of course 5cm is nothing compared to my worst flare (14 cm) during the 6 months of withdrawal. but at least i can draw a conclusion now. looks like it is the norm to flare up even after 2+ years but it is no where as serious as the initial period and most people probably just don't really care anymore at this stage, like me, perhaps i should also stop posting and move on.
below, my face is also not fully healed. but overall the entire face does not give me much problems for now.

Day 830
hello, happy new year.
actually there is really no reason to update because there is nothing interesting to report about.
i am not 100% healed, because i still get itchy and inflammation but it is very minor now, to the point where i no longer care about the developments as it did not affect my life at all.
for my condition, it is very mild to begin with but come to think of it, it has been more than 2 years and i am still not completely healed so it seems like the recovery is going to take as long as those people who has a severe case. or perhaps, this is something that we won't "fully recover" from.
i can only conclude that the only healing factor here is time. nothing else help, except time and patience.

Day 650
Ha ha, it has been such a long time.
Many things happen and my current TSW condition is no longer something I need to be worry about. Mainly because I've already gotten so used to the itch and it has also became so mild that I can ignored it most of the time.
I've also change my handphone and this means the photo will not be of the same quality as before...

Day 520
These 2 photos are around 1 month apart. Healing is slow but it is definitely there~
I have also changed my phone so I can no longer get back the same consistency to my photos quality on my face :(

Itchiness has increase a lot nowadays. Looks like I've to go through another round of suffering. By now, I've already gotten so used to it. Hopefully it won't be too distracting to my lifestyle anymore.

Day 478
Happy Lunar New Year 2015
I've a bit of time these few days so I might as well give an update on my condition :p
For the past 2 months, I've been sleeping 6 hours a day only (mostly due to World of Warcraft) but I'm glad it doesn't affect my condition much.

It seems like pigmentation is taking forever to even out but my condition is definitely improving.

If I did not look at this photo, I wasn't aware that I was flaking a bit here.

Day 466
My updates interval is getting longer and longer as I really does not have much to update. Everyday is the same to me. I've already learned to ignore the itchiness and have been busy focus-ing on other activities. Anyways, I think this is a good time to update because my leg has new developments (after having no issues for so many months)!

Finally, my legs has started acting up again. As compared to 1 year ago, this is nothing so I'm not worried at all although it is good to monitor.
