I’m still doing battle with eczema, specifically around my eyes. It’s been getting worse since the last time I went to the dermatologist.
I went back again today (6 months later) and he decided that since the cream he gave me wasn’t working, he needed to do a biopsy to make sure that he had the correct diagnosis.
A biopsy. Of the skin. Around my eyes.
Yeah.
As he numbed the area in the outside corner of my right eye with a big needle, he told me a stupid joke. Then he snipped a chunk of skin from my face and stitched it up. I’ll have the stitch for about a week, he said, and possibly a black eye.
The numbing stuff wore off really quickly and it was quite painful at first. Now it’s itchy.
The End.
Hey, great post, very well written. You should write more about this.
