I agree with roughy101

What a childish and idiotic response to an obvious plea for some help. Good luck Squeaker, it can't be very nice for you.

deecee

On the bright side, it does say recurrences are unusual, so although that is probably no consolation whatsoever, at least you can breathe a sigh of relief when it goes.
Hope you are ok and that it is sorted soon.

Squeaker, go see your GP or practice nurse of you're worried. They're called Health PROFESSIONALS for a reason, and I'm sure this won't be the most embarrasing thing they've seen!

Good luck with it whatever you decide to do!

Take care,

Yes I had it once.
Large circles of rough skin that incthed like mad. Started on the arms and gradualy went down the body.
I was told it might come on after having flu.
i felt like a leper. I'd toured France just before and thought I had picked something up there.
Gradually went after a few wks ( I think 6wks )
and never had it again.
I went to a skin specialist at the Halamshire she just said it would go away but all the patches took 6 wks so as they had appeared at different times they went at diff times,

Thanks guys... I was just curious to if it really was common at this time of year.... An excuse to go on a sunbed will help me....
You all sweet

I went abrooad whilst I had it, around this time of year,
And sun bathed wiith it, when the patches had gone I was left with a complete tan.!!
