It's best if you only apply it during night time. Also make sure to wash it off during daytime and avoid direct contact with sunlight. You don't want to go out with it on anyway. The stuff smells pretty dank.<br />As for the white blotches on your skin: they're most likely fungal infection, a common occurence in hot and humid environ. Over the counter fungicide is the cheaper alternative to a visit to your local dermatologist.<br /><br />G'luck.Robert Tranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692666997401856261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282703440670507342.post-3906508067637401442011-03-07T15:22:19.496+07:002011-03-07T15:22:19.496+07:00Thanks for the support :)Thanks for the support :)aliceinvietnamlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07727953426996904768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282703440670507342.post-27444927548312659442011-03-04T02:42:25.496+07:002011-03-04T02:42:25.496+07:00Alice i follow your blog because i can live vicar...Alice i follow your blog because i can live vicariously through your experiences and i love VN!! Psoriosis...i have lived with it for more than 30 years.I was diagnosed during HS--the worst possible time! it sucks but there is treatment. i have done it all.. uvb light treatments, creams, ointments, you name it. be careful with the sun. too much sun will cause rebound flare ups. if you really want clear skin the only thing that has worked for me over the long haul is low doses of methotrexate every week. my skin has been clear for 3 years now. the md will usually only prescribe for moderate to severe psoriosis. stop all scented lotions etc and use only mild soap--unscented dove or cetaphil are the best. hope this helps. Keep up the good work. Love your blog.

You don't know me!
I have a frien...Hi Alice, <br />You don't know me! <br /><br />I have a friend in Hanoi who has the same thing... but she has had it for about 10 years I think. And to be honest, the white blotches have spread to her entire body, her face, neck, arms, legs, etc. Though, every time I see her, I think she is a beautiful woman... and she is a runner and has a killer body that most women would envy... and her blue eyes are mesmerizing and her smile brightens the room... <br /> <br />Yet everyday she still struggles with the way people look at her... She gets so frustrated about the stares... She gets frustrated if friends just ignore her difference as if it was all normal or nothing..., and she get frustrated if strangers and friends pity her or stare at her in dismay... it is a fine line... I don't think it will get any easier... but I do think that it is a situation that forces her and you, to be stronger... stronger than most of us! <br /><br />Learning not to care about what others think will save you a lot of grief! And learning to rethink your own conditioning and assumptions around 'beauty norms' will also help you I think... <br /><br />Good luck! Be strong! <br />;-)<br /><br />Sev. (-just another expat traveling the world and whose heart, or at least part of it, is still in Vietnam)<br /><br />P.S. If you want me to put you in contact with my friend, let me know... it might help you to talk with her... my email is severineminot[at]gmail[dot]comSeverine Minothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263454454362388577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-282703440670507342.post-67707027692339111822011-03-02T11:24:19.437+07:002011-03-02T11:24:19.437+07:00Thanks Chillseeker.

As long as you got boobs and breathing, that is fine for us. <br /><br />*Bah dump - pshhh. *<br /><br />On a serious note though, I find your condition worsening at such a rapid rate.

Your skin covers your whole body, it ...Dear Alice,<br /><br />Your skin covers your whole body, it is natural that you feel aware of this! Having said that please don't let it get to you as stress will only make this worse. <br /><br />I suggest you get some neem oil and neem soap. Put the oil on your skin after a shower and I guess the soap speaks for itself. Also find some real relaxation methods that work for you, as I say stress makes these things worse. All the best!chillseekerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09331399014117346535noreply@blogger.com
