thanks Trillian - me too! I think he has been suffering - as it is slightly itchy and I noticed some behavioural change (negative) about a month ago but maybe that could have been his second year molars....
Just to clarify, it's not ring-worm, or worms.... but it's a funny looking pimple that has been moving eastwards in an up-down fashion, about 3 cm over the past two months. It's a fast-moving bugga' and I'm surprised that it has survived this long (if it is what the paediatrician says it is).
How weird! Hope he fights it off ok himself and you don't have to have it frozen off - I remember having warts on my hands frozen off as a teenager - and a slightly painful and very weird sensation - can't imagine would be that pleasant in a more delicate area.
thanks wysiwyg - i have also had warts burnt off (on my feet) and agree it's not exactly pleasant, although preferable to being under GA.
i wonder how the paediatrician will handle a 2y.o. with this process....
just noticed your avatar - love the tram - the hawks colours i am so-so about
it's not fun to see your LO sick - although we're crossing our fingers and toes that his immune system takes care of it.
we're off to the paeditrician tomorrow again - for another $250 expert opinion. it's worth every cent as it's a condition uncommon in australia and hence we spent a lot of time at different GPs who couldn't diagnose it.
oh wow, I hope you are getting some good care and he's being looked after. What an unusual (unlucky) thing to get?? Can I ask you where about's in Thailand were you? Were you trekking in remote parts or just in the usual touristy areas? Reason I ask is we are going over to Thailand in Dec for another holiday (over there at xmas time last year too).
