Red.Annoying.Patches. (RAP)


If any one of you happened to bump into me anywhere....even in school....will immediately notice the new 'guest', RAP!!!....where did RAP affect?? my FACE!!!!chest, back, hands....isk....

Waited for a good two hours to consult the famous skin specialist in Penang, Dr. Lim Huat Bee....and it wasn't for even five minutes of consultation......*faints*.....and according to him....this is drug allergy....and haha...joke of the day...as I explained to him about my condition he asked me "Are you a nurse??or a medical student??" *double faints*

Everybody thought it was an allergic reaction probably from dusts....because i was tested positive for that...and i have a highly elevated allergy antibodies in relative to my age (25 times higher than normal people)....

But, it turned out to be a drug allergy.....means I'm allergic to drugs belonging to the Penicillin family.....i had a 1-week antibiotic (Amoxicillin) course about two weeks ago for my ear infection...i don't normally take that particular antibiotic for any other reason because apparently it's too mild....and right after that, barely a day or two after i completed the course...RAP paid me a visit already....but little did i know it would spread to my ears (pinna), neck, FACE!! and everywhere else......so depressing....my self-esteem is at its low point now.....with RAP's face!!! =((

Lucky you didn't get the allergic reaction my brother got when he ingested Augmentin (he's allergic to the Potassium Clavanulate, we figure, cos he doesn't have problem with Amoxicillin)...He had an entire mouthful of ulcers, right down to his throat...

He had to gargle with Xylocaine Viscous (to numb his mouth) just to be able to swallow a meal...

I am allergic to Augmentin too (also the Potassium Clavanulate)...My skin peels like a snake...*Lol*
