Tinea Versicolor

So since I was around 20 I have suffered from a apparently common skin condition called Tinea Versicolor or some call it Pityriasis Vericolor. It is basically discolouration in the skin. It can be lighter circles, darker circles or even red circles.

The areas this skin condition affects are normally back, belly, chest and neck. I can sometimes get it on the top of my arms too. Since having this condition it has really knocked me. On holiday I obviously don’t want to get into a bikini. In the summer it gets as bad as I don’t want to wear a vest top. Since suffering with this condition, I have been to see GPs a number of times as they first prescribed me an anti dandruff shampoo called Selsun, apparently there was an ingredient in this which helps kill the fungal. When I used this previously it worked and was fine as I only ever suffered with small areas. When it appeared to get worse and the Selsun wasn’t helping no more I returned to the GP. They then decided to prescribe me with a different anti dandruff shampoo called Nizoral. I was a bit disappointed by this as at this point the condition was at its worse. It was in every area possible and made me feel disgusting. But living in hope something will help I tried this new shampoo. I used it as instructed and after the first day I seemed to have a reaction. My neck and chest area (on full view to people) turn all red, itchy and inflamed. So again I immediately returned to the GP. To my surprise I basically got dismissed. She gave me some strong antihistamine to help with the itching and redness and told me to carry on using the newly prescribed shampoo :|. I could not believe it as on the bottle where is has warnings it stated that stop using it and call your doctor if you suffer from basically any of the symptoms I was suffering with. As each day went on the rash got worse. I was wearing jumpers and polos to hide it, but people could still see and still questioned what it was :'(. I had never felt so insecure and down about this skin condition since I’ve had it. I decided not to carry on using the thing that was making it worse and flaring it up, so I went against what the GP advised. I decided it was time to take it into my own hands. I couldn’t let something that got me so down defeat me. I needed to get rid of it. So I did some research and found a product called ‘haole rot spray’:

I done my research on this product and found the maker actually suffered from this skin condition himself. I read like a thousand reviews because it was a pricey product and I wanted to be sure. But with 416 reviews on this product and having 5 stars, I at this point would do and try anything. So I decided to purchase it. I could not be more happy with my decision. My rash has pretty much cleared up and near enough gone on my neck, chest and under boob area. Which was the most concerning areas for me as coming up to summer I couldn’t wear vests etc. My back still has the white spots but it is working and clearing up. So in no time I hope to be free of this skin condition for a while…fingers crossed. I just had to share my findings as I know what it feels like and how insecure and down you can get with things like this. So if this has helped me, it might help you.

Missing

But even in her laughter you could tell something was missing. She never really seemed to be truly happy; she just seemed to be passing time until she waited for something else. She was tired of just existing, she wanted to live.

Some people

It amazes me at how some people are. They back stab, betray, hurt others. I can not justify in my head why they are like that to good people, jealously? Even so that is no excuse to treat people badly. We all go through our own personal stuff in life, all how our own fears and mountains to climb. So we should all understand each other in some way right?

yeah that’s what right but doesn’t happen. People are so wrapped up in themselves they don’t care who they damage and hurt along the way. Them people disgust me!

Better

You don’t need to be better then anyone else, you just need to be better then you used to be.

 

Happiness

“Happiness is a mood . It’s a condition , it’s not a destination . It’s like being tired or hungry – it’s not permanent . It comes and goes and that’s ok. And I think if people thought about it that way , they’d find happiness a lot more often .”

I need more happiness in my life.

 

One Tree Hill Quote

Beauty Within.

Recently a lot has happened in my life which i can never regret. I learn from everything and hope to take the good out of the experience. One thing that i picked up on is how judgemental people are on appearance. Being in love with material things such as fashion is a big part of my life but still this doesn’t mean i judge people on that. Some of the most amazing people i have met are not your idealist in life. So no matter who says your not beautiful you are. In my opinion its them that are not for saying horrid things… Learn to love yourself and others will follow. I hope that what i believe comes true. Feeling down about yourself is the worst.
