little white truths

I realised last night that I'd forgotten to write my three-week update for contact dermatitis on Tuesday, so here I am with it today.

To be honest it's probably better that I waited to write it because I left a message for my dermatologist on Monday, asking him what to do since the DermAid 1% isn't working, and he wasn't able to get back to me until yesterday (he's been away) so I've got more to report now than I did on Tuesday.

Long story short, the DermAid hasn't done anything for the white patches on my skin - all it's done is completely dry me out and give me blemishes - so I wanted to know whether I should keep using it.

Yesterday he told me to leave it (thank god for that), and instead he's told me to start using QV's Intensive Cream overnight. He's hoping that the heavy-duty QV will do something for the texture of the white patches. 

As he noted yesterday, the problem isn't the look of the patches because you can't see them unless you know they're there; instead the issue is that those areas don't hold makeup so my blush and bronzer look patchy over the top. If we change the texture of those areas, the battle is mostly won.
