Day 151

Today will be the 5th month of my withdrawal.

My face and eyebrow still itch a lot. However, I am very thankful that my legs did not itch for the past 3 weeks now!

I wonder if my face is purely TSW or could it be something else? Because I remember using a lot more steroids on my legs last time and yet my legs seems to be healing very fast (and it no longer itch) while my face is still suffering from the annoying itchiness on a daily basis.

Sometimes, I really hope that I can recover in 6 months because my TSW condition is very light to begin with :) But maybe it is too early to conclude anything at the moment. Because I have read many TSW blog in the past and all of the victims need at least 1 year (some 2 years) to recover back to normal. I am just hoping for the best.

Left Face

These mini pustule is never-ending. It comes and goes relatively quick.

There will be a few spots everyday, and they itch for hours, disturbing my sleep sometimes.

 

Right Face

Only occasional itch. Quite Ok

Center Forehead

The large pustule was healed but probably will have new itchy spot soon

Left Forehead

Still have to endure

Right Forehead

Very itchy :(

Right Leg

No more worries

Big Toe

No more itch

Left Leg

No more itch

Day 144

It seems like my leg is more or less done with TSW because it is no longer itchy for the past 2 weeks :)

As for my face, I don't quite understand why but it is still quite itchy, especially my forehead. Perhaps my leg skin is much thicker than my face.

Left Face

These mini pustule keeps coming, probably few hundred times. annoying as usual

Right Face

The area below my eye was quite itchy this week.

Center Forehead

Still having a few larger pustules that can itch for hours.

Right Forehead

Quite itchy this week

Left Forehead

Very itchy this week! wth.. is it a mini-flare?

Big Toe

No more issue

Right Leg

Almost fully healed

Left Leg

Almost fully healed

Day 137

This week was amazing.

It has been a long time since I can sleep peacefully without waking up to the scratching. My legs didn't itch for the whole week despite me having a bad lifestyle at the moment (sleeping 12am+ everyday and eating lots of junk food LOL).

My face also seems to be doing quite well. There are lesser itchy spots now although the pigmentation still requires a bit more time to fade. However, my forehead is still rather persistent but I will wait patiently. I am quite surprised that my leg heal faster than my face, considering that I use much more topical steroids on my leg last time.

Right Forehead

Left Forehead

Center Forehead

My forehead is very itchy this whole week. I hate to endure the itch

Right Leg

When I thought my most troubled area is coming to an end soon, it suddenly decided to itch during one night. And I have no idea I cause a bloody wound to myself until I saw the blood on my finger nails the next morning. But I believe this wound will heal pretty well because this is not the original rash 

Left Leg

Almost not a problem soon

Big Toe

Skin starts to feel rough to touch nowadays but as long as it don't itch, I'm fine with it

Day 123

Day 123 is a nice number. Yesterday was my 4th wedding dinner in 3 months. I still don't like mass gathering event like wedding dinner because I am always socially awkward with my condition and my speech stammering issues will just make things worse. I hope there will be no more for this year.

Left Face

As usual, I still get these little itchy pustule on a daily basis. Very annoying

Right Face

Still the same. Older spots fading, Newer spots appearing.

Center Forehead

Right Forehead

Left Forehead

Looks like I am too optimistic on pigmentation. I guess this color will stay for another month

Right Leg

Yes, it is healing well but the itchiness is still causing me some damage. I must have scratch it unknowingly at some night

Big Toe

Itch is very minimal, almost non-existant

Left Leg

Also healing well like my right leg. Still itch a little at night so there are some scratch marks while sleeping
