I'd love to be writing about my exciting weekend with Karlene and Jessie, which was fun and awesome(♥), but all I can think about is my skin.

I don't know what the hell happened, but somehow for the four days I took away from my house my skin situation has deteriorated. I once again look like I've been crying for the past three week, my ankle is still very swollen (indeed, my right lower leg looks a bit swollen now too), the skin on my arms has exploded in fiery red patches of pus producing OUCH that I have never had with this problem.

I'm going to the nurse practitioner (AGAIN, THIRD TIME, HAS NEVER BEEN HELPFUL EVER) this morning, because my mom took one look at my oozing, open wounds and yelped, "You're going to call the doctor NOW young lady." I'll be making another call this week to see my dermatologist.

I can't determine what could have caused this, except for maybe all of the sun I got this weekend.

My ankles broke out in mysterious hives on Saturday, and three cups of peppermint tea did a lot to help the swelling go down. Mint has anti-inflammatory properties. I would still go to the doctor or nurse, but you might want something in the meantime.
