after 1 week

[mellowtigger]

The weird rash on my leg is definitely reacting to the 1% hydrocortisone cream. The plan was to apply it twice a day for 1 week, then wait for 1 week. I'm in the waiting phase now.

The skin turned rough after a few days of application. Not rough/raised like a scab, just rough. Afterward, a thin layer of skin just sloughed off. Again, not like a scab. More like dead skin after a bad sunburn. It also bled slightly during 1 shower when I forgot about the skin problem and scrubbed too roughly with the washcloth.

The area has not changed in size. It might be turning a lighter shade of red. I'll give it more time to see what happens.

Yeah, that seems...familiar. Yes, past experiences are echoing in my brain when I read this.
