Day 186

I am probably in the midst of a flare I guess.
Itchiness has been very bad for the last couple week.
Day 186 is the 6th month+ which I believe is also the period where most people suffer during their TSW duration. Looks like there is nothing much I can do except to be positive and rest well.

While my face is flaring up and itch like mad, my legs only itch a bit. Just a tiny bit and not a problem at all.

Day 179

Hello,

My leg is still doing well. Although the scar is still visible (slightly darker), it is smooth to touch and has not itch for 2 months so I can considered that fully healed. Will post my leg next week

However, my face is not yet done. It still itch a lot everyday and I have no idea how long more I still have to wait. Last week my cheek decided to go crazy and this week it was my forehead. Flare likes to move around? Is it still TSW? The amount of steroids I use on my face last time is so minimal as compare to my leg. If it is still TSW, then why is my leg not itchy anymore because I remember I use a lot more steroids on them. So strange, could something else be affecting my face or perhaps legs epidermal barrier is so much stronger than our face?

Note: Today photo is a bit too bright when taken.

Right Face

Itch a bit only

Left Face

Older spots have faded out but new spots still appear daily.

Day 172

Easter day was really busy for me so this post was a little bit late but photo is still taken on the Sunday morning.

Right Face

I wish my left face will be like this though.

Left Face

Very itchy again. I wonder if my recent late night sleep has to do with these.

Center Forehead

Center appears ok here but based on the itchiness I have today, I'll expect it to get worse.

Right Forehead

That larger spot itch for days.

And my eyebrow is still a problem

Left Forehead

Is eyebrow itch related to TSW? I am not sure

Day 165

I was a bit worried last 2 week when my whole face became itchy everyday. But looks like it is just a mini flare and this week was much better.

Legs remain healed and I'll only update legs on a monthly basis. So far, I am very certain that my leg was going through a TSW. However, I am not so sure about my face now. In terms of steroid usage, I use much lesser on my face and yet it was my leg that recovered first. What is going on? Could it be some other factor? I'll wait patiently for at least 1 year (which is 200 more days to go)

Right Face

A few scar still remains

Left Face

The pustule that grow so near to my ear is a rather strange position.

Anyways, it looks like these scar will take at least 2 weeks to clear.

Right Forehead

This is my most persistent area now. Always itchy

Center Forehead

A few irritating spot here and there.

Left Forehead

Eyebrow is still itchy.

Day 158

Hello Sunday,

It has been 1 month and my legs remain itch-free. Even though the pigmentation still appear a bit redder than normal, I have already consider my leg as healed in my own view. From now on, I will be posting monthly updates (instead of weekly updates) for my legs.

As for my face, I am currently going through a mini flare. Almost every part of my face is very itchy this week. I wonder if this has to do with my sleeping hours because I have been sleeping 6 hours a day for the past two weeks. Well, I probably spend too much time on gaming Diablo3 and Starcraft2. LOL

Left Face

Itch for hours and days. So irritating

Right Face

The few spots here also itch for hours.

Right Forehead

Very Very itchy across the board

Left Forehead

The eyebrow area so persistent

Legs update will be monthly from now on.

Right Leg

A bit red but still no itch

Left Leg

also no itch

Big Toe

No itch

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.

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

The area below my eye was quite itchy this week.
