Mike says this is the worst thing he has had to endure, he looks like he has been in a fire his skin is sooooo bad I just dont know what to say. Fiesta time here again so couldnt go to docs. so took note of what you said and got some antibiotics ( we can buy most things here without going to the docs)! It has made a difference and is not so swollen and inflamed. This morning I plastered his head and face with aloe vera, that cooled it somewhat and it stopped itching for a while. I managed to go to my office in town today and stock up on food as well. Fortunately a Spanish girlfriend owns a hairdressers and saw him yesterday on his own when the shop closed for lunch. She gave him a crew cut. He wont go out again because people just stared at him in the street and one asked if he had been in a fire!!!! Next visit to oncdoc is Monday so will be interested to hear what he has to say. Not looking forward to facing the crowds at the hospital tho´ in Spain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 Oh I feel for Mike. I think I too would feel like him and not want to be seen. I can understand that!!! I hope that it really means that the drug is working. Ingrid > > > > Hi Chris. I empathize with Mike. I had terrible outbreaks on my scalp also. I > > did cut my hair very short.
