So the Dr said yesterday he thinks my sore bits are Impetigo, based on what a couple of them looked like. The rest look like eczema, but he's put me on antibiotics for a week and if it doesn't respond he's sending me to a specialist who might take a biopsy. So I've been taking the pills for 1½days and have more patches of sores now ☹️

Impetigo? Best check with your work in case that's a no no too. But should be ok if you do strictly gloves etc.
