After waiting for 3 months, the great day arrived - 20 minutes with the dermatologist from the Big Smoke at the Outreach Clinic. Yes, I admit that I scratch. This sets up a vicious cycle - scratch-infection-scratch to relieve pain caused by fluid build up of infection. But, no, I don't scratch in the first place. My skin is very sensitive, it's overly sweaty and it rubs easily to a blister. So, a slight irritation (not scratching) causes me to scratch and then we get the vicious cycle.
However, the dm ($150) puts it all down to scratching. So, a bit like the homeopath, if his medicines (cortisone and antibiotics) don't work it will be because I continued to scratch. Talk about win-win for him.
