For the guest-directed self, the third. I skipped the second one ‘cause it’s cold outside.

I feel like I cheated on this one, though: the instructions are to shower, but I took a bath. And while I’m looking into the camera, you can’t see it so well. What you can see, of course, is Pityriasis rosea. It’s a rash I contracted earlier this week somehow. It’s not contagious, but it will take a month or so to go away, and there’s nothing I can do about it. That big spot at the base of my ribs? That’s the “herald.” The first to appear, the warning sign.
So you see why I’m in taking baths on a Saturday night.

!

my skin looks exactly like this sometimes. in my case i have been informed that it is chronic contact dermatitis (leading me to believe that i should just exist in a bubble, naked or else wrapped in pure silken gauze). but i get a similar rash if i eat certain things. and my skin picking compulsion does not help.

but anyway, it just made me feel really, weirdly good to see this. thank you for sharing <3
