Day 13 - healing

So here is a collection of my healing journey pictures. Its getting flakey around it, im not bothered by it. It does get itchy around the area, but I resist. Never do I scratch the area directly or attempt to peel.

I clean it whenever, mostly after a shower. Not paying any attention to it. After the shower, i dry it with a q-tip. I roll it on the surface, applying slight pressure. Sometimes, fluid will ooze out, and thats ok. Just dry it up some more with the q-tip, then finish off with a layer of disinfectant. I like to keep it as dry as possible.

 

 

(4)(5)(6)

 

(5) i woke and noticed some crispy golden stuff around the left edge. I just cleaned it up using a q-tip + disinfectant. I notice im able to slip the cotton bud underneath the scab. I dont wanna peel it off, just in case the whole thing is not ready. I took a peak and it was raw and pink. So i left it as it is, only clean (:

 

(6) today it was normal. no golden crisps this time. Flaking around the edges, itchy around the outside. I only do itch my skin, not the scab. This includes behind the ear and the very outside of the ear (the side, not the surface). Still carrying on my cleaning as normal. I won't pop the scab off until it's ready (when the skin is fully healed underneath and not raw and wet) -- even though half of it can be lifted off without pain.
