I got that a couple of years ago when I was off shore in Malaysia. Doc put it down to dirty laundry and bedding.

Pack of pills and a rollicking for the Injin laundry boys sorted it in a week.

you may get the right diagnosis but also many wrong ones

just like a doctor.

Seriously, 3rd world doctors are over worked, under paid and pass med school with a 5.5. Now if you're rich you'll have better luck.

Because they always seem to be surrounded by sick people when they are at work. I know this because my father was one.

when I was at work I was never surrounded by sick people

most people are not

self diagnosis can be dangerous, forum diagnosis doubly so!!

It can if you google for necrotizing fasciitis when eating lunch, I'll give you that!

Hey wait a minute, I flunked out of medical school. That's gotta be worth something.

A rasp and a bottle of meths. grate it off, and then burn it shut by lighting meths on it. All done. Or, take the real advice and get to the doctors.

I love this thread. Reminds me of Scampy, who had one leg bitten off by a crocodile and immediately logged on to TD to find out what to do about it, instead of seeing a doctor.

Yup, pretty pathetic really, and to think Nidhogg is a scientist.

Golden boy I am, can do no wrong. mostly.

What's the latest on the hairy leg? Cleared up? Amputated?

Hope you got to keep it, it was kinda nice minus the pustules.

koojo is on the money here,i get this sometimes as well.get some ELOCON ointment(TOPICAL CORTICOSTEROID CREAM)you need to get on top of it asap as it will spread like wild fire.smear a bit of elocon on the area and make sure you put some on the outskirts to stop it spreading.2 times per day and just leave it alone,dont wash it off.good luck.

You wanna have a look at my hairy legs Miss K ?? they are not on a par with QC,s pillars , not too bad for my age though .

Sure, Nige, I'll take a peek at your stems.

If anyone else wants to show their hairy legs or anything else they've got, just post it up here and I'll take a gander.

Not promising not to laugh, though.

I'm the only truly qualified doctor here.

A double Doctrate degree in bucketoncology and pisspotslipadicktome.

Throw some hot salty water on it and afterwards dry it off with a hair dryer.

I'll PM you my bill as qualified advice is not free.

That reminds me mate, how's your arm?

No report back on the doc's diagnosis then.

Scabies then
Unclean unclean. Ding ding
:-)
