I screwed up!

My armpits are on fire!! After such good progress i decided to use the roll on to stop sweating yest :( I literally burnt my skin. Now it's dark and my skin is saggy! I thought it was getting lighter. I think the anti fungal cream was working. Fungal seems to be the root cause to all my problems, maybe my sinusitis too! Allergic fungal sinusitis to be exact! Now I have to start all over again! This recovery is gonna take a while :(

El Fungi....& no, its not a dish!

SO i went to the dr today about my ringworm a.k.a fungal infection. Before going in, i was excited to see the doctor and especially at the thought of taking fungal pills (which i was sure to help with my discolorations!) but then when i asked him about the pills, he warned me that taking those "anti fungal pills" may cause side effects like if u're allergic to it, u might end up with rashes and worse, liver problems. Being smart, and not wanting to jump from the frying pan into the fire, i decided to take his solution to my problem: a fungal cream called OTENOL (ingredient: Terbinafine Hydrochloride). I'm supposed to used it twice/day until the ringworm disappears and then continue applying the cream for another two weeks. He explained why.

Fungal infections are not like viruses or throat infections, when u have fungal infections, its cells divide very slowly and and it grows deep into ur skin (this explains why nothing works on my underarms!) therefore it is necessary to use the cream/any other fungal medication on a long term basis.

Since my underarms have been dark for soooooo longggg....i can only imagine how much time it will take before i see a drastic change. I will be applying the anti-fungal cream daily on my underarms and my affected ringworm areas! when i do see a difference i will let ya'll know.

If u r wondering whether u have fungal on ur underarms, it is best to ask ur family members if any of then have/had fungal infections in the past. After all, fungal infections are hereditary.

If what i have is a fungal infection on my armpits, i'll be really pissed at the fact that even the "best dermatologist" couldnt diagnose this. But we shall see.

Could it be??

I feel............frustrated. angry. depressed. hopeless. wishing that there was some sort of life's manual to leading a problem free, healthy lifestyle, especially taking care of all our organs that lead to our senses: eyes, nose, ear, skin and mouth.

These areas are so important to a person. Without any one it being normal, like me i have a lazy eye, slightly discolored edges at the corner of my mouth (make up helps!) and other skin problems, a child will grow up to be self-conscious and timid. What we all need to be is to be confident! but how is that possible with all these problems?!

anyhooo, I've stopped using "divine derrier" for a while. I think it is common with all bleaching & peeling creams. The more u use it, the less effective it gets. Ur skin becomes immune to the doses and it stops working.

For now, im going to stop everything and focus on NOT SWEATING, and i realized something. My biological, sperm donor, "father" has a history of fungal infections.

I definitely inherited it. Growing up i used to have this discoloration right under my bottom lip, even on the sides of my nose. Plus recently i've been getting these round scaly dry patches on my skin (i have 3 so far) and it looks like ringworm!!!!! how the hell did i end up with it, i have no idea! *sigh*

So what im trying to say is...my underarm discoloration could be due to fungal as well. That is why not a single whitening/bleaching/peeling product is working on me!

I'm going to get some kinda antifungal cream/powder and start using it on my underarms to see if it helps. Will give u another post in 2 weeks or so.

I seriously do hope it works! i want to wear sleeveless clothes sooo badly! :( i envy those chics at the clubs! hmmph!
