Oh Ali, I missed your reply. Are you still in one piece today sweetie?
As for my thumb (ha! I finally have green thumbs! Maybe now houseplants wont scream and commit suicide when they are brought into my house...): this one isn't eczema related I don't think. I have a vague recollection of something stabbing into the bit where nail and finger meet, whilst I was pulling out bits of woodland from Carrotchop's fur. I have had similar nailbed type infections before (and whitlows on the finger tip) and they may well be eczema related. I've lanced them myself when they haven't been too painful, but this one is ridiculously sore. The whole thumb is swollen and tight. Also, there's always the risk that if I do that the surrounding skin will infect and set off an infected eczema flare. If I can deal with this just through the antibiotics that's probably better. If it ends up having to be lanced, I'd rather it be done with properly sterile needle and with antiseptic swabs.

Still in one piece. This post is in the right thread.

Bathe it in salt water - as hot as you can take it. Regularly.
And keep taking pictures - I am delighted with that one! Oh - sorry about it anyway. But I am a little jealous. That's a seriously grim colour for living flesh.

Looks like paronychia. (Dana's finger)
That does indeed need antibx.

Finger?
It's a thumb! I now do not trust you as our potential medical expert during the zombie apocalypse. We're gonna have to let Orthodoc into the compound too.

You can have paronychia of the thumb, too!
It's just that Dana's thumb is so wonderfully, excellently delicate that I mistook it for her finger. You're just still mad at me because I soundly trumped your argument about Jews running America and are clearly jealous of my contact with Woody Allen.

Ha! Yep, that's what it is. And am on antibiotics.
Though, I'm now 2 days into them and it's got a lot bigger. I have a horrible feeling I'm going to be down at the surgery tomorrow having it lanced. owww, fuck, the idea really makes me queasy. It's ricockulously painful.

vics. Or percs. Or whatever you guys over there get for pain, GET IT!
I thought it was ridiculously easy to get good drugs in England - non? Not true? Coz I was thinking if I came over to visit you guys I'd manufacture some sort of accident and get us all free painkillers. But I'm not gonna do it if they're getting all stingy with them.

Well, I've taken a couple of ibuprofen (NSAID), but that was about two and a half hours ago. Can't take any more for a couple of hours. I probably should go to the shop and buy some paracetamol to take alongside.
I could take cocodamol, as that's available over the counter (codeine and paracetamol) but they give me a bad stomach.

Don't come here for the good shit, darlin'.
I've never been offered anything exciting on prescription. Best I got was co-codamol which I turned out to be allergic to. Had an extra week of puking and extreme pain because of it. When famous Merkins are outed as being addicted to prescription painkillers we're baffled. What? How? Can we have some please? Okay, maybe that's just me.
