DAY 10 - Thursday 28th August


Morning. It's getting painful now to apply the cream. The redness is not really any worse but this prickly feeling and slight, but constant burning is starting to become uncomfortable. I'm working from home today and will probably take the day off tomorrow. The original sore is starting to look angry but no signs of any erosion to my skin here or anywhere else.

I've been out this afternoon and due to the redness I'd rather avoid seeing people, especially strangers, so I've decided to work from home from now until the end of my treatment on Monday week, that's another 11 days away so tomorrow will mark the half way point. I have no doubt that I'll continue the treatment but I am starting to feel an inner reluctance to apply the cream. I will order Aquaphor tomorrow as this has been used by others to give some relief. Having said that, the discomfort is quite manageable. So apart from the redness increasing to a more even coverage, it's much the same as yesterday with no weeping or breaking of the skin. So far so good - a strong reaction is a good sign that it's working and the original sore is looking the worst of all.
