Amazing. My stupid skin condition (psoriasis/seborrheic dermatitis caused by immune system having a conniption over normal fungus on my face) has now got a patch or two under my eye on my cheek.

I'm using Nizoral to keep it under control, but so annoying. I'm sure in 6 months it will have either migrated elsewhere or it will cover my whole face.

Least it isn't contagious. Stupid immune system.

It did lead me down the rabbit hole of people with trauma having it manifest in weird physical ways. People with trauma are apparently 1.5 times more likely to develop physical illnesses as adults, like chronic fatigue or pain, weakened immune system, sensitive GI issues, etc. it's so fascinating to me how it's all interconnected, our brains and GI are so complex, that physical abuse can affect the unconscious systems of the mind and body and then manifest as physical illnesses.

I need to finish The Body Keeps The Score, it's a hard read but well worth it.

(I mention GI next to brain, because there's evidence to suggest that there are neurons there as well, and what we eat, and our gut biome, can also affect our mental and physical health. So cool)!!
