10:47:16 AM | Yes, Alexie. I usually just showered before I got this disease. But when I first had this rash and sores, I read about what people were putting into their bath water and how they would soak in it for a long time. I started to buy some products to use for a soaking bath when I read further about people getting this disease all over their bodies, on their face, ears, nose, hair, private parts. And I thought, maybe soaking in a bath might spread the bugs or parasites all over my body. So I decided against bathing. I believe "my quarantine" worked because the sores just stayed on my lower legs - mostly just one leg. Thee sores are mostly healed now after a year. I haven't counted but I'd say I now have less than 10% left open and raw with the rest scars or slightly raised mounds - they almost look like bruises. The first ones healed are now fading a little and are flat. |
