Day 25 - Post day 6

Yesterday I noticed some small pimple around my chin which I think is because of the paw paw ointment. I will try to reduce that, unfortunately it's the only thing that doesn't sting and feels so good once it's on.

A lot a skin flaked away yesterday, was like being in a tiny corn flakes storm.
 There's section on the my right side of the chin that used to react whenever I didn't shave for a while ( before the treatment - had been doing this for years) and I think perhaps this may have been some pre cancerous activity, because that section has swollen and got very red during the treatment. If so it might be quite deep, and I expect a lot of peeling in that area. It's also where some of the pimples are at. Will need to think how to deal with these. I don't want any infection in the area.

here's a bad shot of today which shows some improvement I think, but still have crusty and pimply chin area.

Day 24 - Post day 5

I have developed a bad habit of unconsciously scratching my face. Skin is starting to peel off and I can't seem to help myself from fiddling on my forehead. I woke up last night itching and scratching at my chin and forehead, so obviously I'm doing it in my sleep!

I Facetimed my brother and his kids, and grossed the boys out. They kept saying 'stop putting the camera so close to your face.' My sister in law screamed

Yesterday was the most comfortable day since it got bad. I am managing the itchiness with plenty of the paw paw ointment (Brauer brand, the chemist assistant said it didn't have lots of petroleum jelly and was more paw paw than the others). So, I can keep the itch under control using it about 3 times a day. Last night I did get quite itchy though and didn't get much sleep.

Plenty of skin is peeling away now.

Today's shot is after a shower, shave and a gentle rub with a face washer, followed by the paw paw cream. It doesn't look like it's getting better, but I'm sure it is. You can see grey areas where the skin is coming off urrggh. The shininess makes it look worse than it is - that's the paw paw.
