I have a cure for Leprosy!

For the last few months I have had this spot on my eye lid that closely resembles Leprosy. Well, I'm not sure HOW closely it resembles it, but either way, my skin was falling off and it was not pretty.

When I was in high school I got a funny rash called Pitoriosis Rosiea (I am sure I spelled that wrong, but it is as close as I am going to come), which translated from Latin means Red Spots. Origional huh? Anyway, ever since that went away I have had periodic red, flaky spots about the size of a dime. I didn't think anything of it till I got a couple of bigger, redder spots. I finally went to the doctor and he said it was Leprosy. No, not really, he said it was eczema. And he gave me a cream to put on it to make it go away. I was skeptical, but it seems to be working. I have less of a creepy red spot. This might be more of what Steph was talking about with TMI, but what are blogs for, if not to share our most intimate moments with people who hardly care?

Eczema is tasty, save up the flakes and put it in a meatloaf for Nik's dinner.

If I don't believe in eczema does it really exist? Or if you are in the forest and your eczema starts to itch, does a lumberjack really feel it?
