Bad Start but hopefully good ending.

It's the new year and we are starting off bad.
Had steamboat on New Year's Day (1st Jan) together with Mahjong and Kdrama Marathon.
They decided to buy Chinese Yam which we have not prepared it for our steamboat before.

Helped to peel the skin of the Chinese Yam. 
It's the first time I handled this ingredient and I have no idea that it causes itchiness.

Well, the itch didn't last very long. 
We managed to wash it away.

Fast forward to a day later,

Rashes started forming and I have my whole hand full of blisters.
(This hand got it worst cause I was holding the chinese yam with this hand)
Why did it got to my wrist? 
Cause it was long and I didn't think of cutting it into half before peeling of the skin :O
(And also someone else was occupying the chopping board)

I was told that it was contact dermatitis.
It's horrible cause my hand was itchy for the whole day.
and I still had to go and work the next day.

It's 6 January 2021 now and it is the the 4th day. 
I think the wrist part looks much better
But those on my hand doesnt look like any much better.
It still looked pretty bad but at least it is now more manageable as it is less itchy.
It still itch from time to time but I'm washing it as much as possible.
And also, I've been using Thieves hand sanitizer on it as it has peppermint oil and it helps to give it a cooling feeling and lessen the itch.



The sad thing is my bottle is finishing and I dont think my hand can fully recover before I finish the bottle.

Hopefully it gets way better tomorrow.
Gonna sleep now. 
Goodnight.
