The Anonymous Widower

Is There A Research Dermatologist Out There?

Consider.

• I have mused about my skin before in My Strange Skin.
• I have been feeling a bit odd because of Babet.
• I have had problems with my left humerus for a few days now and my left hand has not been very co-operative.
• Yesterday, I kept dropping my bag for a start.
• Last night, I needed to go to the loo in the middle of the night. I could hardly walk, because of pain in my right lower leg.
• But I’d forgotten to put the magic Udrate on my feet, before I went to bed. It does seem to stop the water leaking out of my skin.

This picture shows my left hand.

I damaged it badly in a fall, where I took the back off on the edge of a glass door. But with some glue from the Royal London and some TLC from the practice nurse, there are no scars. Surely, it shouldn’t mend that well.

As my ancestors include both Jews and Huguenots, did all those centuries in poor living conditions ghetto-harden my skin?

I hate mysteries and I suspect some of my questions could be answered by an experienced dermatologist.
