Mine, once in awhile, is eczema. ...It's not contagious, but I catch peoples' facial expressions on my hands every now 'n then when I'm on the subway. Simple illustration for this simple feeling!

Eczema
...Ever have a visible condition, that seemingly takes over your whole identity? Where someone sees your cane, or crutch, or birthmark, or a bandage before looking at you in the face?

herbst! lets hang out sometime this week or weekend
I have a mild case of it, and I hate it!!!
Great illustration. It has a great editorial feel.
wow. That drawing is great. I've been suffering with that stuff for years... but only on my right hand (which of course is the drawing hand...). A friend that I'd known for a few years saw my hand last week and sort of took a step back and asked me if it was contagious... =(
If it is any consolation - my parents told me that when I was diagnosed with eczema as a baby the doctor told them that (for some unknown reason) eczema is correlated with high intelligence.
I also have a giant birthmark on my leg that gets a lot of weird looks when I wear shorts.... so your drawing and commentary is right on.
Anyway, just found your blog from a link on "this isn't happiness" - great stuff.
