Soreness

[Jemisa]

Just lately I've been getting soreness at the corner of my eye's, corners of my mouth, cracking & soreness behind my ears & the sides of my nose. I've got cream for it which I've had in the drawer for a year but it seems to do the trick. - But it comes back.
Any idea's why it happens? - Am I short of some vitamins? any reccomendations what to take.?

Are you on any medication?
Does the soreness itch or weep?

Why not just pay a visit to your GP and get a proper diagnosis and a prescription if its needed.

[Jemisa]

Not any New medication, - Metformin - I 've been taking for years, I'm a diabetic as you may have guessed Sqad.
perhaps i'm just run down been under a bit of stress lately.

Jem...you haven´t answered my questions.

Does it itch or weep?

[DEN53]

could be a touch of dermatitis Jem. A friend of mind gets that when she is stressed.

[Jemisa]

Sorry Sqad,
NO doesn't itch or weep. Sometimes on waking eyes are yukky. I bathe them with warm water & a pinch of bi-carb.
I'm using Synalar creme by the way.

Yes Den, I'm beginning to think that may be the case, we'll see what Sqad says.
Ratter you're right too but my doc has just been 'Struck off' so don't like going to the surgery now as there's a different Locum there each time. (& they're all about 12)

Jemisa thanks.......seems like a dermatitis and Synalar Cream is a good starter.

Give it another week and if there is no improvement or it gets worse then go and see your GP as he might suggest a blood test to exclude an anaemia.

[Jemisa]

Thankyou Sqad. Some sort of anemia you say? Funny you should say that as my brother has been diagnosed anemic and he has to go to the hospital once a week for a transfusion, now you are worrying me.
It does clear up with the Synalar but two or three days later its back.
Yep, I'll give it another week and see how it goes.
Thanx again.
