Ayo, since we’re going into a real intense stretch of heat here in the US:
For those of you with PMLE, please take good care of yourselves!!!
Do whatever you need to do to take care of your skin and prevent outbreaks, such as:
-Taking allergy meds
-Wearing sunscreen & letting it set 10-15 mins before going out
-Staying indoors & out of the sun as much as possible
-Wearing clothing that can minimize sun contact, such as long sun dresses, light breezy pants or sun hats
-Putting on things to relieve your skin; I put on a herbal ointment since it’s been difficult to see a dermatologist lately
-If at all possible, getting in contact with your/a dermatologist for management
This season absolutely SUCKS. I understand that. I’ve got a full-body rash and had one for weeks now; but I manage it as best as I can by taking care of the itchy spots and preventing further irritation by wearing sunscreen.
💖 Please take good care of yourselves! We can get through this. 💖
