3 years of clear skin and I actually thought I was done with this. Then the patches showed up behind my ears again a couple weeks ago, same spot as always, and I just sat on the bathroom floor for a bit not really doing anything about it.
2 months back into cream and moisturizer now and it’s barely making a dent. Between grad school deadlines and the part time job I don’t even have the energy to be properly upset about it, just tired in a flat kind of way.
Baked a loaf at 9pm last night because I couldn’t sleep anyway, scalp itching the whole time the dough proofed. Didn’t even eat it, just needed my hands doing something.
Nobody warns you adult flares hit different. As a kid it was just annoying. Now it’s annoying and also somehow embarrassing, like I should have this figured out by now…
