So the results are⌠nothing đNo Buruli Ulcer but no anything else either. Doctor wants to just hand ball me to specialist. I showed him pictures Iâd taken and said is it likely to be a form of Pityriasis. He agreed it could be, but said he wouldnât like to guess. Funny, he didnât mind guessing it was Impetigo and had me take antibiotics for a week while petrified I had an infectious disease. I said seeing as Iâve been using cortisone on it and itâs helping, can I get a script for more (Iâm using miniestâs tube and itâs almost ran out) and he ummed and ahhed about that and said that because he wasnât sure what it was he didnât really want to prescribe anything. As for the specialist, $365 is absolutely no dice. Itâs just not doable. Itâs already cost me a dayâs pay for this.

Ooh thatâs nasty, poor thing! Glad heâs getting over it, itâs so uncomfortable.

Iâve had pityriasis. Twice. So I know what the itch is like. Antihistamines are your friends.

Itâs weird isnât it. When I got the herald patch there wasnât any discomfort at all. Then the other rash started, and my goodness I showered too enthusiastically with a rough flannel but did it feel good.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
I took quick warm baths. I moisturised. I wore soft cotton t shirts and I ate a lot of antihistamines. Second time around wasnât so bad and it was a much quicker recovery. I havenât had it since.
Thereâs no doubt thatâs what you have.

I have a new unopened tube of cortisone cream I can peel my info off of if you have a PO Box to send it to? And could collect it as PeelerSheilaâŚ
I donât meet people or ask for identifying info but if itâs a PO box I can send it anonymously one way

Thankyou, Iâve got a bit of the Antroquoril left, and when it runs out Iâll go the sigmacort route.

Some viruses can leave people with weird rashes, good to hear itâs responding to some treatment.

$365
Ouch jeez some of them charge extreme prices.

Thatâs fucked up. I mean, glad it isnât buruli, but what else could it be?
It isnât psoriasis is it? That responds to cortisone (I think) and is caused by everything from simple stress to other shitty diseases. If you send me a pic I can see if it looks like my psoriasis lol I think you still have my mobile number.
The Dr prolly is hesitant to prescribe cortisone without knowing what it is, as cortisone can make it worse. But if itâs helping⌠đ¤ˇđźââď¸ Iâm sorry that itâs so expensive. It fucking sucks how much a specialist can be, when not covered by insurance or Medicare. Ugh.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone â¨3⊠â¨weeks⊠ago
Ok will send you some pics lol.

Iâm not sure how much of your body it might be over but you might either be able to get away with some low level cortisone or maybe behind the counter from the chemist that might help.
