I went to the to doctor this morning and she said it looked like "a reaction to something". NO DUH. She gave me 2 different medications to take and a cream to put on it. One of the side effects? Water retention. Great. Just great. I am so upset. I feel like I've worked really hard for these past 12 weeks and that I am totally cheated out of my final pictures. ARRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!
So, here is the tattoo now. Looking back at week 2 pictures, I think I might be seeing the beginnings of this rash, although I thought it was irritation from the tape at the time. Can't for sure that it is the rash, though. On the plus side, I can see definite fading in this picture! Or maybe it's just the lighting? Anyone else see any fading?
Now here's the rash. It's on my neck, arms, and legs. Sorry my head got cropped out. I don't take pictures of myself with the timer all that often. And I wanted to show it on my legs as well.
Here's a close up from over the weekend.
It's ALL OVER my stomach. I'll spare you that picture. :) Any dermatologists out there feel free to give me a diagnosis!
Off to put some more cream on before I scratch my skin off! Have a good night!

Abby, I'm sure it's driving you nuts, but try to not get too stressed out over it. If you just take regular (not close-up) pics, the rash will not be as noticeable as you think...almost like freckles from a distance...You've worked too hard to not do your final contest pictures...I'll be sending good thoughts your way...

Thanks, Fred! I keep thinking that tomorrow I will wake up and the rash will look better. So far, it's gotten a little bit worse! Not much I can do about it, I guess. Just gotta give the medicine time to work. I hope it just looks like freckles! :)
