Skin like leprosy

I figured out why the women here on the Island Behind God's Back plaster on foundation like masons' putty- to cover all the skin problems that I feel are attributed mainly to bad water.

I painstaking wash face and brush teeth with bottled water, but I wash my hair with the water from the tap. I know- quite defeatist. Its hard to wash locks with bottled water though but I may have to begin doing so, or apply dry cleaning methods until I leave the island on visits to Jamaica.

My skin is yucky. My exxema is wild!

I may have to choose between clean hair and clean skin.

What a plight!
