So the results are.. nothing ๐No Buruli Ulcer but no anything else either. Doctor wants to just hand ball me to specialist. I showed him pictures I'd taken and said is it likely to be a form of Pityriasis. He agreed it could be, but said he wouldn't like to guess. Funny, he didn't mind guessing it was Impetigo and had me take antibiotics for a week while I was petrified I had an infectious disease. I said seeing as I've been using cortisone on it and it's helping, can I get a script for more (I'm using miniest's tube and it's almost ran out) and he ummed and ahhed about that and said that because he wasn't sure what it was he didn't really want to prescribe anything. As for the specialist, $365 is absolutely no dice. It's just not doable. It's already cost me a day's pay for this.
His Lordship copped fucking dyshidrotic eczema from covid - he's on predniserone now and it seems to finally be kicking its arse
Ooh that's nasty, poor thing! Glad he's getting over it, it's so uncomfortable.
