day 15 - no more vaseline

I stopped using the Vaseline yesterday and the skin felt very rough and dry. I applied a lot of moisturising lotion. Today my skin is peeling again. This is a light peeling compared to before. I have had a lot of whiteheads but they are going. I am still mostly pink but with some normal coloured patches.

Day 11 - pink and sick of the vaselne

Day 7 - bandage off and back to the doctors. He says I have healed well. Almost all of the scabs have gone. The skin is very pink. There are occasional random patches that bleed a little.
Day 11 - I am still pink and have to continue applying Vaseline until day 14. The Vaseline is causing whiteheads even though I am using soap as recommended by the doctor. There is some itchiness but it is not too bad. I can definitely see improvement in the fine lines on my skin. The spider veins that were at the corners of my mouth are gone. These were 2 x 1 cm2 patches. Underneath the pink is some patchiness to my skin colour.

Day 4 - Getting better

Flowerchild1
Still no pain or itching. Some redness. On days 2 and 3 there was some swelling especially under the eyes and of the cheeks but that has gone now. The worst part of this is being house-bound with a bandage all over my face and unwashed gooey hair. All up it has not been too bad an experience. I have to keep putting the Vaseline and Chlorsig on every 3 hours. The skin is now beginning to slough away and the bandage keeps slipping. Eating is interesting as I do not want to dirty the bandage. I drink through a straw. The bandage slipped off today and when I was placing the Vaseline on and replacing the bandage I took a good look at the skin underneath. I think I can see improvement already. Anyway 2 more days.
