It's "better," by which I mean it's on the road to going away.

I dunno if I mentioned before, but it's on my right forearm, and I'm right-handed, so it's been annoyingly difficult to draw or write or anything (I'm currently typing with my left hand, which makes my shoulder ache, oddly.)

Right now, the center of the rash has dissipated, and the skin has peeled away to reveal new skin underneath. Unfortunately, the entire area around the rash has become swollen and red (possibly due to a bandaging mishap the other day but I can't be sure) and I can't move my arm quite right because it stretches and hurts when I do so. Also, the new skin isn't really in stellar shape itself; it's stretched, thin and over sensitive. In some places, it's opened up and bled slightly.

Cool still helps but I have concerns the full out ice may be slowing the healing process. Also, noxema no longer is a viable option because of the open places, which burn if I put anything on them. So I'm kinda stuck putting up with it until the swelling goes down.

At work, I have been bandaging it up and putting a cut up tube sock over the bandage. I have gotten the weirdest commentary.
