Really hate how obnoxiously sensitive my skin is. Any time I get so much as a mosquito bite my skin bubbles up into gnarly, welted, unbearably itchy blisters for days afterwards that turn into horrifying bloody craters if I let myself scratch.

#sensitive skin #bug bites #made the mistake of standing around outside in the evening for too long on sunday's date #and now I'm covered in really nasty bites #all over my shoulders and upper arms and thighs and even on my hands 😭#I've been icing the welts and putting tiger balm on them to just try to make the itching stop and the swelling go down #but it's not enough and even the ones that I've avoided scratching keep weeping #i hate my stupid skin #i blame getting lyme disease as a kid #it fucked up my skin so bad #i used to get the worst breakouts of hives #and I have something going on (maybe psoriasis?) where I have weird scaly dry patches that refuse to heal #but I've never had the money to treat any of it #and also assume that even if i went to doctor that they would find a way to blame it on my weight rather than actually do anything helpful
