So the results are.. nothing 😒No 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.

I have a new unopened tube of cortisone cream I can peel my info off of if you have a PO Box to send it to? And could collect it as PeelerSheila…

I don’t meet people or ask for identifying info but if it’s a PO box I can send it anonymously one way

Edit: Sorry, scratch that… it’s been opened so I don’t want to send something used. I had two. Must have accidentally thrown out the new untouched tube and kept this one.

Try the 1% that you can get over the counter or maybe a short cool oatmeal bath

Thankyou, I've got a bit of the Antroquoril left, and when it runs out I'll go the sigmacort route.
