remember those creamy yellowish fragrant pulps you find in the fruit called durian? gosh...eating it was heavenly but suffering from the heat released by the fruit is torturous.
the skin on my neck, forehead and chin is feeling itchy and my body feels hot. luckily we have been having very erratic storms which cool the temperature. there is no breakout on the face, but my neck...ooh....remember those prickly heat rashes kids have, well, i will have a big red patch if i dun stop from scratching especially at night when i sleep.
this morning, woke up and quickly poured medicated talcum on my palm and slapped it on the neck. aahh....it immediately relieved the sting. 30 mins later, i wiped the talc from the neck. heck, i couldn't go to work with a geisha's neck right? so, i have to stop myself from sweating and keep my fingers crossed that the heat in the body will subdue soon. grandma green herb pills will help. will swallow 2 as soon as i get home.

i get a terrible rash from drinking too much alcohol as well and what works really really really well for me is calomine lotion from the pharmacy. instant soothing for hours. but it's the same with talcum, will make you look like a geisha, basically, like how you put it.
oh dear...make sure you don't sweat then..
i used to get bad rashes when i was sunburnt and that was when i lather on calamine lotion...but touch wood, it has been a long time. and that was applied on the entire face! of course when it happened to the face i couldn;t put the talc. on the neck, the talc was refresing.
hmm....no sweating? not possible....jogging....and tomorrow arranging hall for exam. just make sure i dun touch my neck.
