Ewww! (Post not for the faint of heart)

The peeling process started the other day. It's so gross! I feel like I look like I have skin disease, like leprosy or something. Just when I started feeling like I looked better and ready to hang out with people again. I'm really putting my faith in the saying that things get worse before they get better. On top of peeling off a ton of my skin, I had some tiny unexpected guest pop up on my legs.

Sorry if this grosses you out. It grosses me out too.

Yeah, tiny little blisters on my legs that itch like crazy. They appeared last night. It's been a week since I got burned. They kind of make me want to cry because they are disgusting and so itchy and I can't do anything about them. They feel gross too. I joked before about a blind person being able to read braille off my skin, but now I think they really could. It also makes me think about teeny tiny bubble wrap, except you can't pop these bubbles. 

I got like 10 more bug bites last night and they are already kind of big. I didn't use bug spray since some place that are peeling are sensitive. I didn't want it to sting and I didn't want to take the chance of making my blisters worse. It actually probably wouldn't have done anything to them. Basically, I hate my body right now.

I'm kind of wishing I had gone to the doctor when I first got my burn since it was a pretty bad second degree burn. Maybe I would be a little better off right now. My roommate even mentioned I could use burn cream (burn victims use it and they sell a generic brand at the store), but I felt like using it would be like overreacting. I wish I would have used it. I feel so bad for actual burn victims. Not that what I'm going though even compares, but I can kind of imagine how they feel. 

Did I make anyone gag with this post? Or wince a lot? Goal accomplished.
