Hi, thank you for your enquiries. The sores only appear on the outer side of my arms, shoulders, face (aaarrgh!) and down the middle of my back. I have had the odd one or two on my body but not many. Had they not appeared right down my back, I would have thought they may have been related to the sun – although I don’t get that much!
None have occured on the inner surface of my arms, so I thought maybe they don’t like friction, or pressure. I also found it odd that none appeared on my legs and wondered if the support hose I wear, protected me somehow. Although, last summer I went without the support hose for an afternoon, wearing my shorts and I brushed into a spider web and a crop of little sores sprung up where the web had draped – odd.
Trouble is, with them not responding other than superficially to treatments, added to the fact that they sprung up and spread fast and furious, I was very nervous that they might be contagious and daren’t touch or hug anybody. So, if anyone has been successful in getting rid of something similar, I would greatly appreciate knowledge of their treatment protocol.
I’ll sort out some photo’s (because what I found was very odd and unusual, I did take quite a few!) and post them.
