    So I need to just put this somewhere. With my skin condition dramatically worsening by the day I returned to the GP, who looked as shocked as I felt. The odd little bumps/sores have become open weeping ulcers and spread over my biceps and thighs. He has taken swabs and is testing for Buruli/Bairnsdale ulcer and faxed an urgent referral to a local specialist. I feel emotionally yukky but physically there’s no pain at all, just when I sweat it stings. I’m trying to stay positive but I’m pretty depressed.

      Oh my gosh how horrible. But hopefully whatever it is is fully treatable and most likely will be.

      Oh fuck, that sounds really worrying. I’m glad there’s no pain but it sounds like an urgent case for sure. Fingers majorly crossed that they get back to you with a treatment asap…

      Hopefully things will get better for you soon, especially with the urgent referral.

      Please try and take care and glad you were able to see the GP again.
