 What should I do? - Ian (Cape Town)
Dear all.

I'm turning pimply and my knees are turning blue
I may have the plin as well.

Should I be bothered, or should I go and see a doctor?
Or wait until January.

90% of things people go to the quack with get better on their own. Ignore it.

Hmm spots and discoloured splodges in a Sarf Afrikan?

Nothing to worry about.

>> I may have the plin as well.

Sorry if I'm being dense but is that a typo, or South African for flu or something?

EDIT: or what's in Lyg's link?

Sounds like a case of the Marthambles to me.

(Actually I have four lurid looking purple lesions on the top of my right forearm above the wrist. The doc says they are insignificant, but they look awful).

Try joining the dots. If it turns out to have any religious significance you could end up being descended upon by pilgrims. Or Elvis fans.

It sounds complicated - did you self-diagnose?

Sorry Ian, I didn't mean to sound disparaging.
If it were me I would see a doctor.

Ps. If you take Runfers advice don't use a permanent marker.

Can we please just draw a line under this please? I spoke to the dentist again yesterday and they said as longs as it is kept clean etc it can wait till after the New Year. Obviously if I experience any pain I will seek help straight away.

I missed this post. I ignore my teeth and they don't go away.

As long as no more than two of your knees are turning blue you should be fine. Its when all of them change colour you need to worry.

Ask a nice person to hit your knees hard with a hammer and they will turn red.
Sorted.
