just  a  few  more  pics  from  latest    minor  flare . its  effecting  my  face  neck  and  hands  only  . i  will  stress  though  that  for  the  first  time  , it  seems  to  be  effecting  the  inside  of  my  nostrils  . quite   painfull and  irritating .  more  pics .

very itchy . 4  hours  after  last  post .

plastic  hands  . manageable though .

bit  blotchy  but  no  were  near  as  bad  as  before

18 hours  into  facial  flare very  itchy  and  i  think  its  spread  into my  nostrils .


will post  more  pics  from  today  later  . it  has  calmed  down  considerably  today  .  its  not   nice  flaring  but  i  always  seem  to   progress  after  every  one  i  have  .

  1. Hi John
    you look great! Can you put a bit more detail on your profile? How long did you use and what potency etc? Did you do any courses of oral steroids? Hope the progress continues.
    thanks

  2. Hi Elaine..quick history is that ive used potent steroids for about 20 years . Started with normnal hydrocortisone creams then progressed onto fucibet/diprosone /eumovate ect ect . far too many to remember off hand . I used Betnovate on my face for the last year or so untill last october when i decided to quit the roids . I havent used any oral steroids , only the cremes . It was very hard in the first 4 months but i am realy pleased with my skins recovery so far . still flaring on my face neck and hands but i think the rest of my body is so close to healing . i have normal skin on my back and stomach . my arms are still a bit dry as are my legs but i dont even need to moisturise them parts now . i only use vaseline on my head neck and hands . this week i am going to see if i can not use vaseline on my face . ..thanks for the comments .
