Swollen area in tissue (7). a*s*e*a

[antlad]

abscess ?

[mazie]

it is Abscess

[tmacen1]

Thank you Antlad, but I can't fit 'abcess' into the other clue results that I possess. a*s*e*a. Any other ideas to ease my tortured grey cell?

[mazie]

47 d Mousse

[antlad]

what clue gives the final a ?

[littlegriff]

can only think of abcess, how have you got the last letter to be A, whats that clue your answer could be incorrect

[tmacen1]

That knocks my 'pomade' forr six. Thanks Mazie. Back to the drawing board.

[grasscarp]

You havent given the clue, but a similar word for pomade with s in the right place would be Balsam

[mazie]

47d Clue is Hair Preparation. I've got mousse and it fits with everything else.

Whilst you here could I ask for help with my last one?

55a Hunting (archaic) (6)

?e?e?y

[tmacen1]

That knocks my 'pomade' forr six. Thanks Mazie. Back to the drawing board. Welcome aboard Littlegriff. The 'pomade' answer to 47d was the answer my wife gave me. Honest. I'm as bald as a badger and I shall now attempt to change my name to protect myself from female fury, both domestically and abroad.

mazie - VENERY (other people gave this earlier so I claim no credit)

[mazie]

thanks Jumbuck

[tmacen1]

mazie, the archaic for hunting is 'venery'
