Let's learn Rosacea.
After battling ringworms on my face for more than 7 months, i finally decided to seek a second opinion as a form of self-assurance that i am indeed on the road to complete recovery. Also, to be crowned the ringworm warrior. However, happy endings don't come easy as candyfloss. The skin doctor informed that my excessive fungal steroid application has caused my face to bloom into a bed of thorny roses. It is almost like opium addiction, to quote her exact words. The cream steroid that i have been using (Elomet) is akin to opium. They are the drugs. The desire to heal my ringworm scars is akin to annihilating addiction to opium. They are the hidden agendas. The red, itchy, possibly patchy face if elomet treatment is terminated is akin to the nausea, sweating and cramps of an addict who is trying to quit opium. They are the withdrawal symptoms. In order to reverse my face condition to how it was like 7 months ago, i have to stop elomet and give my skin time to heal.
Bad news: It will not be easy because i will have to deal with very red, itchy, peeling skin for 2-3 months.
.
Good news: It is reversible. After 2-3 mths of Rosacea war, my face will look like how she was 7 months ago.

WTF, LET'S DO THIS! :)
