Its been more then a month since i went sentosa with my friends. We swam the whole afternoon in the sun and spamming the beach, catching fishes and super tiny crabs and all. Practically barefooted the whole day even in the shower.
Obviously not giving a dam about putting sun block and all the protect my skin, i got sun burned and it was quite bad. I looked really like a lobster, red like hell, pain like anything, peeling like nobody's business. The peeling was horrible, my make up didn't help but made it worse!
Anyway, as time flew my skin recovered! Except my feet. Till this very day, it's still peeling! I'm feeling itchyness as well. I told my sister about this who told my dad, and found out my dad has the same condition. Discussed with him and went along with him to see the skin specialist.
The doc. was an indian fella, quite friendly! His way of working is, extracting as much information from the patient, examine the patient and then giving his assesment and solution. And by explaining his assesment and solution, he writes on a paper which my dad just took it away from me! So i don't know what's my condition called.
The doctor said mine was worse! Due to my super dry skin due to genes(I got it from my mama~). Right. But i do remember his explanation:
My father has been trying to reduce the itch but the itch will still come back. Apparently my father's "barrier" is down. So the doctor's concept is to first build that barrier then all problems would be solved. It is like my dad has chased the theif out of the house, but did not lock the door. So the doctor is helping my father to lock the door. For me, i've to go through medication first! Must be my theif is still in the house!
So for the solution part, his giving my father a wash, a moisturizer because he has slight dry skin too due to old age, and some cream for i don't know what. And for me, the same wash and moisturizer, and a cream for my condition. I'm to go back to see him 4 weeks later :( Both my father and I, for that day's cost was about $400.
