Ketoderm my friend

I noticed that parts of my face itched real bad. It didnt mean much the first week, but there went another week then another, and it truely began bothering me. Then my face was literally on fire. I mean, it felt like someone was pouring acid on my face especially when I washed my face with soap. So best believe, I stopped washing my face with soap. And stopped looking at my face in the mirror. I looked crazy.
Then the doctor sense kicked in. What the heck was on my face? First, I had this crazy idea that it was this condition I'd learnt about in school, Seborrheic dermatitis. It fit the criteria- nasolabial folds and forehead affected, desquamation and intense itching-except that it was simply impossible for me to have a rash this gross. So that was quickly ruled out.
Then I thought it was an allergy to...I dont know, soap, lotion, something I was obviously torturing my face with? Possible... except I'd been using the same cosmetics for over 3 months, and never had an issue before so why now? No freaking idea so I just threw out the soap, the lotion and whatever I could think of. I got deep moisturizing cream. Dry skin was probably also in the mix so why not give it a bit of loving? I got soap with glycerin. I was about to pamper my skin to the max.
But things only got worse. My face, my money-maker, que passo? I was looking like a zombie more and more. But then I remembered I had a book of dermatology full of pictures. I just had to take a look.
I saw all sorts of things. Eczema. Duh. Of course, it was atopic (allergic) eczema. I do have allergies (seasonal and shellfish) after all so it made sense. I continued perusing through the pictures though. Acne. A bit late for that, but the rash looked very similar too. Its like the more rashes I saw the longer the list of differential diagnosis got. Oh lawd, my face!!! I was going to close the book when I hit my main man, Seborrheic dermatitis. And once again, I was grossed out. But what the heck, I was desperate. I looked up the treatment, and thats how I pulled out my ketoderm cream. Boy did my skin feel cool that night. 3 days later, my skin is beginning to look presentable and I still don't know if it was SD or seasonal allergies. 

NB-Please, do not look up pictures of Seborrheic dermatitis
