(Q) Process of TSW
Hello. I have been TSW for 5 years. After hospitalisation, my symptoms are now only on my face. Thank you very much.
For the past year or so, I have not seen any serious peeling, severe redness or profuse exudation, but I have a question about one thing that has been troubling me. Both cheeks are slick to touch, wrinkled, thin and red (better than before), but I have been suffering from this condition for about a year with no improvement. I thought on my own that the skin was thinning due to prolonged peeling (vinyl-like skin), but I wanted to ask you why this is happening and how it can be cured (should I moisturise, etc.).
I would be grateful if you could reply.
Thank you very much.
(S) It is still difficult to assess without actually seeing it. What you do to improve the skin on your face is to raise your upper body slightly at night to move water away from your face and towards your lower extremities? Just raising the pillow is not a good idea.
(Q) Thank you for your reply. How high should the upper body be?
(S) Raise the head by 10 cm.
