Day 518- Day 548: Month 18 Topical Steroid Withdrawal

(August 2015)

Lots of food flares this month. I experimented with different foods that are on my list. Some of them didn't give me hell until eating them for 2-3 days. The last day was a reaction to a beef stew I made. It did me IN. A lot of the pictures where I am REALLY red are just after a shower. I take VERY hot showers because it burns the itch away. Feels amazing and doesn't scratch the skin. I've heard it's "not good for your skin" but I don't care haha

The later part of flares are always really really flakey.

Day 487 - Day 517: Month 17 Topical Steroid Withdrawal

(July 1 - July 31 2015)

Hi guys! Sorry, it's been a while. My life has gotten busier and busier as my skin has gotten better and better. I still flare, but I get over the flares fairly quickly. This month I had a lot of hot red bumps. They would just appear out of nowhere or something would set me off. However, this month I wore tank tops! Please keep in mind that I don't take a lot of pics on the good days. Most of the pics I take are to document the bad skin.
