Besides my bouts of crying, it appears that pregnancy hormones are giving me other troubles.
I’ve had this dry, red, flaky skin by the side of my nose for a month now. Nothing I’ve been putting on it has helped and I’ve been afriad of making it worse. I stopped putting make up on it wondering if that was the cause but nothing has changed. I’m pretty sick of going out with a red splooch on my face.
I was afraid that is was perioral dermatitis which my mother was diagnosed with 4 or 5 months ago. This requires an antibiotic treatment, a strong one that can not be taken with pregnancy. I hadn’t read anything about it being contagious but was still worried.
I went to the dermatologist this morning and apparently with a really quick glance he determined that it was a form of seborrheic dermatitis. He made it sound like a hormone thing and thought that pregnancy was doing it to me. He rattled off some creams to the nurse and was out the door in a flash. I wonder how much he gets paid for looking at me for less then one min?
I’m certainly relieved that it isn’t anything worse. With the creams it should go away in a month although I could have flare ups forever…
My name is Manda and I love creating 
Isn’t pregnancy a wonderful thing? I seem to take on new pregnancy quirks with each pregnancy too. Maybe I’m just getting old!
It’s a regular winter hazard around our house. I feel for you. Hope the creams get rid of it quickly.
I think that you are wonderful!! It’s nice to hear about other melt-downs out there. I hope that you are having a better day!
Hey you. I was wondering if you heard about John McDonalds baby? I’m doing a quilt giveaway on my blog for her. You should check it out. I was thinking maybe it would be cool if all of us girls tried to come up with something to give away on our blogs in attempts to get donations and get the word out. Nina’s starting up a blog this week too. Hooray for the 108 Bloggers!
PS reading about baby Mia won’t help the prego crying sessions. I just cry everytime I get on their family blog. You can find their blog in my blog roll.
