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!!! =((

T00-OOOmato Ears...

yeah...you read right....it's TOMATO EARS.....and that refers directly to my ears. I have no idea how or why it happened....two weeks back...i had this sort of itch over on my pinna....so obviously i succumbed to the itchiness and scratched obliviously....

I thought that probably it was just an allergic reaction which is usually a one-time thing....but little did i know..the itchiness led to an infection....and now...my left ear apparently has pus inside....yikes....and to rule out allergic reaction...i have been taking antihistamine (XYZal) and antileukotrine (singulair) quite regularly for other purposes......and the redness of my ears didn't subside..

So, one week of antibiotic....anti-inflammatory....ear drops....hopefully it will get well....i don't want to go to another doctor again and be put on another course of antibiotics....it always happened that way.....*sobs*
