Skindeep

When i fell pregnant with Aaliyah my face started to come out in a red rash.

I wasn't to worried about it to start with as it didn't hurt to much and wasn't itchy or anything.I guess i looked at it in the view "oh well I'm pregnant bigger things to think about and it will go away once baby arrives".

I assumed it was probably down to the fact my body was lacking in nutrients and this was its way of telling me so to speak.

But once Aaliyah arrived and after a month or so of the rash not passing i started to become a little worried as also the rash was starting to spread.

I went to the Dr and the Dr thought it looked liked Roscea so prescribed me some cream.

I used the cream thinking "oh great ok now i no what it is yah lets get rid of it".

The cream didn't work and my face reacted badly and swelled and the rash spread it was also extremely sore.

Back to Dr yet again and over the course of 12months since then they have tried me on different Antibiotics,Two different types of Steroids and Steroid creams and a million other types of creams.

Still nothing has worked and over that period of time things have gotten worse.

The rash now covers the bottom half of my face is causing blood vessels to burst around my nose and has spreed to under my eyes and between my eyes.

It is also really quite sore and very uncomfortable.

I have deguised it quite well most of the time with very heavy foundations,I even tried Dematollogy tested foundations to see if that helped lesson the pain and if the make up was irritating my skin even more.

I was on a waiting list for a Specialist in Queensland for over 6months and my appointment finally came up when we were in between Qld and SA.

Coming from someone that definitely has body issues and not in the slightest comfortable in there own skin i have found it very very hard to deal with this constant blotchy lumpy bright red coloured rash.

You no it may sound quite shallow but your face is or well should be the first thing people look at when they see you and i feel very uncomfortable about having this over my face.I think everyone notices it and is thinking "whats all over her face"......

Finally after all this time i have managed to get an appointment with a Specialist in Adelaide on July 21st and i do sooooo hope they will find something that will heal this, Although my Dr has warned me its very hard to treat.

I do find myself constantly thinking "It ll be fine as soon as the Specialist see it they will make it all better"..

I so hold my fingers and toes crossed that they do give me something to heal it and make it all better.

After saying this though i do feel like my issue is so so so minor in comparison to many other unfortunate people so i try to not complain all the time about it and mainly only express me concerns to my Hubby.

That is why I'm not sure a lot of you will even no i have this going on.

The difference between can and cannot are only three letters.

Three letters that determine your life's direction so with that i will take on this with i can approach.I can and will deal with this minor set back with my face and take one each day with a positive outlook.
