I have not been away. Somehow, did not blog for the past 1.5 months and it would have been more if not for comments from friends who have been asking me why no entry?Since this is my first entry after so long, there are so many, many things to share since so many things happened !!! Soemhow, I choose to write about my hubby and his encounter with eczema.
It started with a small patch on his leg and he did what a normal guy does; he self medicate until the patch grew bigger and become redder. Still he persisted and at one point it did seem to be healing. Then, one fine day (this was going on for 1-2 months), he developed fever and then rashes on his body. It was damned itchy and soon the rashes became more and more and we thought he had measles. We went to doctor several times before he was refered to a skin specialist who told him that he may have eczema. Anyway, the specialist also think that he may be allergic to DETTOL as he has been using it to wash himself. All in all, it took him 3 full weeks and several more visit to the specialist before the rashes finally gone.
Moral of the story: Don't use DETTOL and listen to your wife when she ask you to see a doctor when the rashes is just a small patch. :)
