on top of everything now have impetigo on my face! nice

[carol3]

just got some antibiotics, god i'm having a crap year!

thanks littlelapin, i thought no one was talking to me.
no not itchy, just looks crusty and weepy awful. Am going to party on Sunday too, where i wll see people i haven't seen for 15 years! god i hope it looks better for then.

yes hope so too,
really can't believe i've got it on top of every thing thats happened of late.
Also both my girls had it last year and my youngest ended up having massive infection from it and being in hospital for a week so its another worry have spent the afternoon dettoxing everything and washing all the towels

God, isn't it always the way that you get some nasty rash/visible health complaint just before a party?

You have my sympathies, I had a nasty bout of it in my late teens. To anyone who hasn't had it, it's like crazily infectious coldsores which spontaneously weep!

I have my fingers crossed for you that you'll be clear by the time your party comes around, but if you aren't, just don't make the mistake of trying to cover them in makeup for gods sake! I somehow forget this every time I have a coldsore and slather on the concealer. Big mistake every time, looks so much worse...

thanks guys have the paper bag ready if it doesn't clear up, bannanabump i've been trying the concealer thing for days just looks like brown crusty skin, your right does not work on impetigo luckly most people are assuming i;ve just fallen over and grazed my face!
