Challenge # 8 Skin

My skin.
My skin is white... very very white. I live my life in semi darkness, my work is dark, like a cave and even in previous jobs, I have been a night owl and worked the night shift most of the time. I glow in the dark
You would think, being an Aussie, I would like the sun, but it gives me migraines. The sun saps my strength and I feel weak. SO I have white skin.
I have even gotten sunburnt in the UK much to the amusement of my Australian friends. HA.

My right arm is darker due to driving buses and trucks for years.
My back, arms and thighs have tattoos. I adore my tattoos and have many more planned now. My whitness makes me a blank canvass.

The arse tattoo....Rarely seen, like the platypus |
At certain times of the month, my skin returns to its teenage years which drives me mental, and I get flare ups of all over itching. My very dry skin is prone to being extremely itchy. A minor form of eczema but it really gets bad when I am highly stressed. I scratch at myself and even dig holes into my skin. Sigh. Only thing I can do is cocoa cream and avoid highly perfumed shower gel.
Edit/Update: It seems I have a sensitivity to sugar of all things. I had two tim tams and then later in the evening a cream bun and hives appeared all over my body within 30 minutes. I was at work and all I could do was try not to dig holes into my skin and scalp.
My face had a dry patch that is red and I need to cover up a lot of the time.

Thats my skin. It keeps my insides in and the outside nasties out. For the most part I don't complain except the itchy thing.... Can I have no more flare ups??? Thanks!

I have really itchy calves and scalp. I have dermotillomania and dig at my scalp until it bleeds then pick off the scabs every day for months, but since I have such an irritable scalp I always have scabs. It's a nightmare.
ReplyDeleteThe sun drains me too. I am a vampire! x x
