Wearing My Heart On My Skin

Published:

Description

My antihistamines wore off, so have some dermographism.

(Dermographism - allergic-style hives rise where pressure has been applied, to create welts. The name means 'skin writing')

Oddly, my welts are lasting over an hour inside my arms now, so I couldn't draw many pictures (needs to be somewhere I can reach to draw and to photograph!). It's quite hard to draw something when you can't see what you're drawing - the welts don't start to rise for a couple of minutes.

It's also hard to take photos one-handed! (My camera's biggish) and to get good photos of slightly different coloured bits of skin.

And it itches and burns so I was rather eager to take my pills and get rid of it ;D
