Another Health Problem For Oh.

[Caran]

For about a year now he has had a rash on his body of small red spots, it really is horrendous. He has been given various creamsthat relieve it. We have tried to get some answers to what it is but to no avail. Eventually in February he was given an appointment for tomorrow at the hospital. Obviously this has been cancelled. But suprise suprise the consultant at the hospital phoned yesterday to discuss his condition. I had to speak to him as OH is very very deaf. He asked all sorts of questions and eventually I said I would take photographs of his body. He phoned back today, asked loads more questions and eventually diagnosed something called Lichen Playa.never heard of it but looked it up on Internet. Doctor is sending a prescription by post so hope he gets sorted soon.

Thanks Sqad!

I just thought that Caran and her OH were yearning for a Spanish beach ('playa')

In case your web search missed the NHS page, Caran:

The relevant charity suggests that aloe vera gel, taken from the fridge, might help:

Hoping hubby's condition improves soon.
