As i've said earlier...the healing process is taking so long...i still regret putting that deodorant on my pits :S cos its still burnt/dark. im thinking of going for IPL...see if that helps...im so annoyed :( im actually taking Echinacea to build up my immune system to fight the fungal in my body. Lets hope it goes away in the next couple of months....

slow but for sure?
hey guys,
its really depressing to know that i screwed up my pits! sh!t!
i'm only using the anti fungal cream & anti fungal powder (so that i dont sweat) during the day. At night, i just use the cream and i make sure i cleanse my underarms using "head & shoulders" anti dandruff shampoo (u can use "selsun blue" too if u'd like).
everytime after i shower, i rub my underarms with my towel n i can see that my skin still "sheds" or whatever is on it, i know this because i see dirt stains on my towel. it sounds gross but hey it means progress ! like i said before, its gonna take a while to see a drastic difference.
lesson learnt: do not use too many products at one time....we all want quick results! but its take time for everything.

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!

The Verdict
ok so i've started using "divine derriere" since the 21st of December 2011. I had applied the cream diligently every night for the past 1 week+. and after that i didnt see any difference so i stopped it. but something weird happened 1 week+ later....my underarms became darker & then after a good warm shower i realized that my skin was "shedding" as in the dark color came off only to reveal a lighter skin color....
ok, so i know when using "divine derriere" one should drink a lot of water & exfoliate...the drinking water part i failed to do....but other than that i followed through. I remember reading that it sometimes takes a while (depending on skin condition) and that it will get dark before turning light...so i guess i should continue using it for 1 week and then stop and see if this skin darkening/lightening happens again.
my right underarm is definitely lighter....i will post pics when when im done with my 2nd session.
there might be hope ladies...
p.s: sorry for the very late post...but i guess it might be worth it :)

end of the year, end of the problem?
so as i count the days to my sister's arrival (or shall i say the arrival of my "divine derrier") im just too busy being sick. yes. i have a sinus migraine that's killing me!!
anyhoo...i wanted to share with u guys what i found on msn today! MSN had posted pics of "hottest cheerleaders" and then i stopped at one cheerleader who had something we have! somewhat dark armpits! here have a look:
i think she needs to stop shaving and start waxing! that will solve her problem. but at least her pits are wayy better than mine...sigh.
im wishing for new pits and a nose this christmas! :(
