The vampire effect - and other "fun" skin stuff

The amount of money that I've spent over the years on IPL (Intense Pulsed Light) and facial treatments, now seems like a waste. For those of you know know me, you know that my skin is porcelain (aka white and paper thin), I have always dealt with spider veins and redness on my cheeks, and I've spent an insane amount of money and time trying to get rid of this "look". I was finally starting to really accept and actually kinda appreciate my skin, before this happened. Chemo will fuck it up. Everything that I've worked so hard for, gone down the drain from this nuclear bomb they inject into your body. I was considered "sun-sensitive" before, and now I live like a vampire and cannot handle any sunlight whatsoever. I slather +50SPF on everyday (even if I don't leave the house), and cover every inch of exposed skin when leaving the house. Even if I go outside for 5 minutes, I will burn. Thank god "winters' comin'"(quote from Game of Thrones), so I don't look like a complete fool walking out of my house in full winter expedition attire. Even at night, a ghosts' whisper, will make my face beet red. That's not all folks! - if you think you can't get a cold sore on top of another cold sore, you are wrong. It will also take more than 3 weeks to heal...I'm still waiting. I didn't know it was actually possible, but it sure is! I have the proof. I will not include a picture of this monstrosity (you're welcome). Plus, I can't even open the front door because I'm so embarrassed. Selfishly, I can't wait to be pretty again. Better fire up those IPL machines now....I'm coming.
