Nah I can’t, I’m not the main character

I’ve been bitten loads this week, small midge bites I think. So solidarity brother.

Newsflash, yes you are.

Think you need antibiotics for that I’m afraid. Looks like an infection/allergic reaction

Went out today! Took the tube for the first time pre pando! I forgot how the turnstiles worked :woozy_face:

Got my nails done which was nice and made me forget about the latest life drama for a few hours. Now to have a nap.

I get reactions to bites like this (though weirdly not since I’ve been in France!). The only thing that helps is holding an ice pack (I use the ones for lunch boxes) on it for aaaaagggeees. Technically, you should be careful doing this (disclaimer: I am not a doctor!) but it works and takes the swelling down and the throbbing stops. You’ll need to hold the ice directly on it for at least an hour.

Reminder: get your cold brew on

Thanks for the advice @HobbesWhenHeWasNew @dingaling @sine_wave and @shes_so_high

I put some of the hydrocortisone cream on earlier and they’re still itchy and swollen but less red. I’ll see how they are tomorrow but hopefully it and some ice does the trick.

As I’ve got older I have really bad reactions to what I think are just normal mosquito bites. The site of the bite swells up massively and really itchy whereas before I would barely have any reaction. Think if I took a wrong turn in the woods at night I would die, like the Macaulay Culkin in My Girl but with mozzies. Good luck out there

I highly recommend Germoline for any and everything.
