As we all know, summer has ended which means it is also the end of our sunbathing days.
I have four remaining probiotic capsules and I will be finishing them up this week. I will continue taking vitamin D capsules because I know I will not get enough sun time for this semester and next semester--almost 7 months altogether The only sun time I will receive is when I drive for an hour and a half in Chicago's busy I-90 on my way to work. Even that does not do much because my hands and chin are the only areas the sun is able to reach.
I have GREAT news and some bad news. I will begin with delivering the bad news...
I developed psoriasis on my armpits. The right armpit is worse than the left armpit. The areas are not scaly, but red and sore. The irritation looks more like dark purple, so my armpits are dark compared to my fair complexion :'(
I shave frequently so that my hairs do not irritate my skin (Schick Quattro for women with moisturizing strip and Schick shaving cream are very gentle on my skin). I use Dove soap and lather up whenever I wash up twice a day. I do not use deodorant unless I know I am going to do some vigorous workout which will demand my body to sweat.
As of now, my underarms are a lot better now than they were three weeks ago. I had would scratch them every hour of every day.
I will post pictures of that area once I muster up the courage to show the world my underarm. It is embarrassing, but I just hold my head up high.
