    On revisiting the page, it's that blue stuff you get on a roll on garage forecourts.

    I think I could get into making lampshades....... not with loo roll though.

    Edit: It IS loo roll ... just my exceptionally small/bad laptop screen made it look bigger/blue :)

    Ok, I like wacky things, but that's just carp, isn't it?

    Well, there goes another £23.

    Went to see the practitioner, she had a newly qualified Dr in with her (observing). She took a look and said "ooooh" and got another specialist in, who looked and asked a few questions. She thought about a couple of things it could be ... and now they're now working on a new idea.... its's eczema. So I've got a big pot of soap substitute, some super-moisturising cream (4x/day) and a tube of betnovate (betamethasone valerate).

    See how this goes then....

    Don't google/images leg eczema .... it's not nice... and yes, that's what it looks like on me.

    The method has potential - it's the method I'll remember. The execution is sub-typical-council :)

    Pn, are you using aqueous cream now then? When dh is using it and his skin is improving we put skin friendly essential oils in, as other wise it can feel a bit...pharmaceutical.

    Dh uses bento ate I think, sounds familiar. Lots of psoriasis things are the same as eczema ones. Do doubt your stress does not help!

    Take care.

    Er .... dunno. I'll type out what the box says .... Doublebase Gel; Isopropyl myrisstate 15%

    Yes, psoriasis is something they mulled, then dismissed. Box says psoriasis and eczema.

    I don't have any stress at the moment. Annoyances, irritations, some small angers - but none of these are stress.

    Having this thing has made me not want to mix with other people.... in case it itches like bugg4hry, or spreads to them ... or something. Like you, I'd rather not see you while I have an undiagnosed nasty creeping around.

    :)

    Edit: This is the beastie - bottom part just makes it stand up I think http://www.altwoodpharmacy.com/user/products/large/doublebase.jpg

    Well, eczema is not contagious. ;). And I sleep legs wrapped round dh, neither is psoriasis. :).

    Parent is away for a week soon. Parent and dh are creating 'back up plans' on case I cannot cope. I find this sweet but also mildly offensive. Afterall, I have coped since parents op last week, plus taking care of parent!

    Well, the last thing they thought it was might have been ... and what if it turns out to not be this...?

    Belly full o' brekky :)
    2x toast; 3x scrambled eggies; baked beans; spicy brown branston

    Brainstorming business name ideas..... poorly.

    I've never eaten 3 eggs in one go!

    The "experts" in thinking up business ideas think of names for a totally different subject, so we get an online book seller named after a rain forest and a telecoms network after a fruit etc

    Wish you could throw the bentovate my way, I've left mine at home and got bitten yesterday. It's the only thing that works.

    Could your skin complaint be impetigo?
