update part 2

It has been a very long time since I posted on here and it's been a whirlwind of a ride x I am now just over 2 years tsw and I have been healed for a good few months now, once I managed to get all the infections under control my skin just got better and better, after I came out of hospital that last time I completely changed my routine I started a daily protein shake, I got some fab advice of a lady in the tsw facebook group I have mentioned before and I started to use a mix of sudocrem mixed with vaseline n added tea tree oil, I applied this to my skin and put dry bandages over, I also used Viscopaste bandages while I was at work, these are zinc lined and kept me comfortable, I alternated between dead sea salts and himalayan bath salts or sometimes mixed the two I added tea tree oil to the dry salts before putting in the bath, and I never got infected again that is an amazing thing for me, my hair started growing back and I started to put weight on again, I ended up splitting up with my partner after tsw as it really did take a toll on our relationship, I found after having to rely on him so much during tsw that it changed the way I felt I just needed to get my independence and identity back, I also quit my job and began a new career as a care worker and am currently doing my nvq, so my life has changed alot, my ex and I are still good friends and I couldn't of got through all this without him having someone helping you really helps x anyway enough of the rambling I'm going to post my before and after pics on here for you all too see, healing does happen and I no longer use any creams at all and haven't for a while now x I sleep normal x hardly itch......yes that is the very last thing to go I'm afraid I think alot is habit as your doing it for so long it's hard to break x
 these are my recent skin pics as you can see it's clear, clear, clear
My hair has grown back from me shaving it all off and it's thicker x



Just a mix of how my skin was during tsw so you can see the comparison x 
I really hope that one day the derms and doctors will listen to our story's and stop using steroids for non life threatening things and the suffering will stop x
