Keeping your mind off keloid

It's always in the back of my mind that I have a keloid on my shoulder. A lot of times when I go about my normal daily life, I still think about it. Mainly because the itchyness keeps coming back and it's almost like a constant reminder. Like hello I'm here! If this happens on a bad day, it can really bring you down. If you have keloid you know exactly what am I talking about.

There are a few things I find helpful and keeps my mind off this annoying keloid a little bit.
1. I use Cica-Care. I always talk about this product and I have posted how I use it. It really physically helps me get through my daily life. I don't feel itchy most of the days. I can move. I can workout. I can wear cashmere or wool without feeling itchy.

2. I don't keep any clothes I can't wear. I mean things that would not cover my keloid or things that make me feel subconscious. I would get rid of it.

3. I like to spend time learning stuff or do something that advance my career. I see this as a long term investment. Having a keloid equal to having an investment that keep losing money. The feeling of uncertianly is what gets me depressed. The only way to counter this is to make a good investment. Something you certainly enjoy. Something that would keep on growing overtime and no one can take that away from me. Am I making any sense?

4. I just work really hard. I'm a graphic designer so working long hours is very normal for me. I find working and designing something pretty are quite therapeutic. Even when I don't work I look at pictures and some inspirations for my personal projects. I love home decor. I took on a huge home renovation recently and that kept me busy for a year!

What about you. What's your experience?

Can you get chicken pox even if vaccinated?

On unrelated topic, the answer is yes. It happened to me a couple years ago. I got vaccinated when I was in my teen since I didn't have chicken pox when I was a kid and to avoid ugly scars. My mom thinks it would be worse in adult. I had complete set of shots, a second booster and everything. But I still caught chicken pox from my coworker when I was in my 30s. How weird is that. On a good side the rash was really small and there were only a few big ones. I didn't keloid from any of those. What's your experience?
