Atopic Dermatitis + BK's New Spicy Burger

It has been nearly 2 weeks and my skin problem has not been cured, rather, it aggrevated. Went to see my family doctor again yesterday morning. It was such a long queue that i have to wait outside the clinic. It took me an hour before my turn arrived. After the doctor observed my condition, she stated that its not tinea but rather atopic dermatitis, something to do with contact allergy and is a family of eczema. I was then rather overwhelmed, not by the fact of the new diagnosis, but by the fact that one week ago, the young doctor from my father's company clinic whom i saw for free, diagnosed me with tinea with just one look and all along i''ve been treating my condition wrongly. Anyway, i was told to discontinue the use of the anti fungi cream and was prescribed PP wash, beprosone cream (which is betamethasone 0.05% w/w) and piriton/lorathadine for the itch. It is exactly one day since i've been using the new medicine now. I shall observe how effective the new medications are to my condition. Was rather scared by stories from my friends stating they had such conditions before and took months to cure, blah blah blah....i wanted to join orientation and start school in my best form okay!

Anyway, recently if you are waiting for bus you would hav observed the promotion on BK's new spicy tender burger or tender spicy burger or wtv its called. I've tried it on sunday and i advise you guys not to try it. Hahaha. I'm not some kinda food critic here but I shall give my two cents worth regarding this. On sunday, i decided to try the new burger for dinner. It was all well until i took my first bite. And then i was like...."oh shit"! Not that it taste bad, but it just taste like any other spicy burger you can get, e.g. McSpicy. What shocked me more was the fact that the pure chicken thigh was extremely oily upon deep fried. I can see the layer of skin soaked with oil like a giant piece of fibrous sponge. Well, i have this weird habit of not eating chicken skin or any kinda skin since young coz i was taught that its unhealthy and should remove it. Even when i eat Mcspicy, i would remove the layer of skin first before continuing my indulgence. As for then, i could not remove the layer of skin from my BK spicy tender wtv burger coz my hands were applied with topical cream! Taking a few more bites, i've decided to do experiment it more. I "gently" compressed the burger infront of my eyes and there it was....freaking so much oil flowing out from between the skin and the meat and i almost fainted. The oil just flow out endlessly and soaked the bottom component of the burger's bread. Just as i thought most of it were out, i compressed it again and more came out. I wanted to gave out eating that sinful thingy but was scared to be ticked off by my parents for wasting food. In the end, i removed the bottom burger bread soaked with oil and ate the rest with guilt. Guilt of eating so much fats into myself. Argh !!! So much that i've to seek courage to forgive myself for that sinful indulgance : dear cMh, forgive me (myself) for i've sinned. Anyway, moral of the story: 1. never try new suspicious things again. 2. Always remove the skin whenever it exist before eating.
