attack of dragon skin...
03.12.08 (1:19 pm)   [edit]

i'm sitting here with my face all covered in goo looking like an albino ready for the beach..

why am i sitting here like that you might ask..

well..i'm having a massive problem with my skin right now.  i call it "dragon skin" and yes, it's on my face (screaks with fear).

first i break out in hives, then it turns all tight and itchy and now it's freaken peeling. i look like a shedding reptile (thus the name dragon skin).

i wash my face with just tap water and it's like i get a chemical burn or like i washed it with pure bleach.  a buddy of mine suggested that i use spring water, so i did. same thing. then i started putting plain old olay of olay on it...still..samething. i drink alot so i know i'm not dehydrated. there is condensation on the windows so i know there is moisture in the air. i'm not taking my meds so of course i know it's not them, i've been in the house with the heat down on 69 to 70 so it's not any of that.

i asked my darling buddy scubadiva if she had any ideas... she suggested that i try hydrocortisone cream on my face. after being attacked by flying chopsticks from my closet of doom i found some. that is why i'm sitting here with goo all over my face.

it was cooling at first, now it's itching and burning slightly. i checked in the bathroom mirror just now (had to find the tube so i could spell hydrocortisone) and i look as red faced as a native american going into battle... 

i don't know what to do...(whines alot). i'm not the best looking person in the world but i am very vain about my face... i dont like bumps, i dont like things in my face (especially little dirty fingers of jacobs)..so yeah this is driving me nutty along with itchy..

yes i asked a medical professional and they suggest benadril... now that will not do a danged thing but put me to sleep. it has no effect on peeling skin.. i asked them friday...and tried it saturday..

would anyone have any ideas as to what is causing this or how to help it without making my face peel off any more.. i am about to go get a brillo pad and start itching my face with it..

i think they make a benadryl cream, too, just be careful not to overdose between the cream and the pills :) Good luck!

doh. what about calamine lotion? it'll make you all pink, but maybe it'll help? I'd try some on a small patch, maybe?

the hydro lotion seems to have worked on the bumps and scales..but not the itching. i have very sensative skin. i feel like i have a mask on my face..lol

sounds to me like an allergic reaction...have you changed laundry detergent or anything...also, use a moisturizer that is fragrance free...perhaps you need to use "ivory snow" or some laundry detergent for babies...no added fragrance...also, the benadryl "topical" cream in conjunction with benadryl internally won't hurt you...you can get some "children's benadryl liquid or the strips that disolve on your tounge so it won't be as strong and make you sleepy. best of luck...xoxox

every thing is the same..it's just on my face well and neck now.
i have sensative skin so i only use certain fragrance free stuff (cant handle perfume and likes). my skin is coming off .. that's what really bugs me the most.

well, i would just keep it very moisturized and try not to mess with it too much for fear you will aggrevate it more...did you get windburned or chapped in the cold? hmmmm... i got lots of Mary Kay stuff, but the only thing i can think of is to use a real light coat of vaseline! xoxox

vaseline breaks me out..lol
i'm using basic hydrocortisone cream (got it when son had chiggers from the woods). everywhere i havent put it im itching so i guess it's doing something. i just have to keep applying it. it's weird that tap water messes my face up. i'm thinking it might be from where the steam from cooking has done something and my nerves or the cat rolled in something outside..

During Late Antiquity the term "Hellene" was widely used by non-Christians to refer to all those who followed the the spiritual traditions that long predated Christianity..

Hel was the name of the Queen of the Dead in Viking myth. The word became associated with her realm which was a place of peace and tranquillity. Early Biblical texts used this name with and extra "l" added as a supposedly suitable English word to replace the Judiac Gehenna ( the valley of Hinnom). This was history's first recorded "city dump", based outside Jerusalem. this was expanded in religious beleif to become a suitable dump for any humans who were thought of as "spiritual refuse".

In Wiccan belief, our devils/demons are part of us and not a supernatural exterior entity. They are our own weaknesses and negative qualities.

The "Church" took a pagan God and perverted him and that is how you get the devil.... all this in a nutshell means that witches do not believe in the devil or hell so we cant worship him

Quite worried about your skin. Why don't you try some herbal medicines ?
