We think we have whittled it down to what started my spots,as some of you may know I have painted the bathroom and the last thing I did was the radiator and skirting board and door frame ,I got paint all over my hands and part of my arms and to clean it off I used white spirit and one of those dish washing pads with the scourer on the other side,not a good idea to scrub with,thankfully it's all eased off ,my hands still look blotchy but hardly itch at all.i shall keep taking the tablets till after the weekend though.
When I was younger I would have painted the whole house in the blink of an eye now I think I will give in gracefully and get someone else to do it.
Hope you all have a good weekend,DD you enjoy your evening,you deserve to. Mig

    Ah, that does make sense, mig, and I'm so pleased that the mystery appears solved and the humira can continue. I can see that scrubbing with white spirit might enable tiny drops of the white spirit to permeate the skin and that's probably a bad idea for those of us with depressed immune systems.

    So, I reckon you are permanently excused painting and decorating duties. Every cloud has a silver lining? I hope so.
    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    Well, it sounds as though you have found the cuplrit and that is a good thing. Dry skin will be itchy so yes, emulsify with something fairly neutral to help ease matters. I am glad they are clearing up, the pills seem to have done the trick, yes? DD
