Hi

[jiml]

Thanks all for your kind welcome - having looked at the images - a few of them do look familiar it is only mild at the minute they are only small but they are bright red with what i thought was just dry skin enclosed but the main one has been there for a good few weeks and i have other smaller ones further down my legs , i think i definitely need to get hold of my gp and get her to refer me - thank you for the tips i shall bear them in mind xx

Kids must be at school as you have got the computer back........... And yes it is the best get to get a referral, hopefully it will go away but my experience is its a stubborn beast to shift.... A few topicals may give you some clearance and hopefully it won't come back, it's a possibility
But certainly the first thing has to be a proper diagnosis.
If you say it's mild at present, in my opinion that's the time to atttack it with whatever you are prescribed
Try not to get too stressed as that is a trigger, eat healthily there are some useful ideas on here The anti-inflamatory food pyramid
Thanks for coming back do keep us informed
