The skin around the mouth shedded this morning. Gaawd. I guess it was dry from the peeling on Tuesday. The antibiotics are slowly working. At least it's working. Considering the humongous dose I used to take in the States ("absolutely unthinkable in Japan," a Japanese dermatologist at a big hospital once said), I wonder if any form of antibiotics is really effective in my system. I guess enough years have passed since I was on medication, it's been flushed out of the system? Who knows.
