thank goodness, my swollen lips is gone. but there are lots of post-swelling effect working on me right now. though its not swollen anymore, my lips is still very tighten. once i open my mouth, big enough to swallow something, a croissant for example, i could feel each molecule/cell (or whatever you call it) of my lip's skin loosening from one another. second, there is still slight itchiness on my lip. and now the itchiness goes all over my body, especially at night. i could hardly sleep last night as i was busy scratching my eyes, my lips, my neck, my arms and my legs. told ya i planned not to work today, but since i was already wide awake at 6am, i thought i may as well go to work at 7am. thirdly, the red patches is still all over my face. it comes in season, in the morning after i wash up, and in the evening, after a hot bath. lastly, my face is extremely dry and rough now, so rough you can even play tic-tac-toe on my cheeks using your nails. and trust me, you can draw fine lines on my cheeks. it feels like im having scales on my face where you can brush off the scales like how a fishmonger does to a fish. sigh.. sigh.. more sighs... when is this going to end?

it's quite normal. i had the same problem when i was in beijing and it took a while for me to get cured. this is winter itch and will normally occurs start from your thigh, leg, stomach and arms. coz these parts have fewer oil and sweat glands so when winter comes they'll dry out very fast.

the best way of dealing is (i don't think u like it): Bathe less and use cold water. apply lotion after bath. i don't think medicine help.

oh thanks !
bath less and use cold water. hm.. bath less maybe i can, i can try but USE COLD WATER??? dont think i'll ever do that during winter. i used reli warm water when i bath, even when im done, i still stay longer because the warm water is just so nice and relaxing amidst the cold winter.

ya think i got to apply lotion on my body, but for my face i got to go get some moisturiser, maybe form body shop or something.. hm.. sob sob
