I have Prurigo. That’s doctorese for “itchy spots on skin of unknown origin”. He said that I’m having an allergic reaction (my first ever!!!) to something, probably small mite bites. But that it’s possible that the bugs don’t really exist and it’s to something else. He suggests washing the sheets a few more times. And he gave me an anti-histamine prescription.

This “bugs are imagined” idea coincides with the evidence since we added an extra clean sheet to avoid olive oil stains during the first treatment, which is when the “bites” stopped.

My original spots are fading and itching much less. A full recovery looks very possible in a day or two. Yay!

No doubt my father is already investigating other vacation destinations, rather than coming here next year as planned. Dad, it’s still worth coming. But bring all the firepower your dermitologist will sell you both over and under the counter.

I know you will all be shocked to learn that the olive oil concoction did little to help the bites. But what it did do is magically restore my Yahoo password. Unbelievable!

So over all, a big improvement from yesterday.

Also, enjoy yourselves and thanks for thinking of us.
