Not For The Faint Hearted

Anyone who's read the papers lately will have heard of the recent Chickenpox pandemic. Well guess what? I'm not a disease magnet for nothing. Yup, I somehow managed to get myself a major herpes breakout on my arm (its caused by the same virus that causes Chickenpox). I could've gotten it from anywhere, since I'd hung out with my baby cousins a few days ago, and was pushing and shoving amongst stinky sweaty people in Shuwaikh all week long.


Now if that isn't the ugliest, nastiest thing ever, I don't know what is. My whole arm is on fire, I feel like I got ants crawling under my skin!! I'm *this* close to chopping my whole arm off or burning my skin off with a bloody lighter :((




Anyways watch out people. Be safe and stay clean.

I did not hear about the chickenpox but I heard there was an outbreak of Measles in Jahra.

I guess you could follow DR's advice. There is also calamine lotion or if you can find it Witch Hazel.

Poor you.... get well soon
