Liliaicha Aug 2011 5:49pm, 21 Aug 2011 5,414 posts	0 Liliaicha Did she have any treatment for it mx? When I google it it says it just goes away on it's own.
mxhornet Aug 2011 5:52pm, 21 Aug 2011 30,962 posts	0 mxhornet Yes she did, she was prescribed some Dermovate ointment, which slowly cleared it up.
Liliaicha Aug 2011 6:06pm, 21 Aug 2011 5,416 posts	0 Liliaicha Thanks, looks like I may have to go to the Docs then. (self-diagnosis online - the GP's gonna love me!)

Velociraptor Aug 2011 6:39pm, 21 Aug 2011 16,832 posts	0 Velociraptor Yes. I've seen it loads of times. It's harmless, it goes away by itself in about 6-8 weeks, and it's OK to put a spot of hydrocortisone on it if it's itchy, though it usually isn't all that bad. It's probably viral, but you're not an infection hazard.
Liliaicha Aug 2011 6:43pm, 21 Aug 2011 5,419 posts	0 Liliaicha Thanks V'rap, luckily it's not that itchy, but have used the hydrocortisone a couple of times. Just hope it doesn't get any worse - some of the pictures on google are quite scary!!
