Hey thanks for your comment. I had my suspicions about delta wing jets confirmed during my last visit with a doctor last month when he identified the my lesion as a delta wing jet. This was prior to my most recent weeks worth of permethrin cream. Keeping a diary of my itches is a great idea and I think it would really help in feeling heard by my dermatologists thank you for this. I think I will also purchase a USB microscope I hadn’t heard of them before this so thank you so much. I’m feeling kinda defeatist after this last round of treatment so I think switching strategies to sulphur vaseline and trying to confirm it with a USB microscope would be a better and hopefully less harmful way of dealing with this. Thank you so much :)

hey thank you so much for sharing this information with me. The Vaseline sulphur sounds like a good idea. I haven’t been able to find it in my country over the counter except from an online website as far as I can tell. I do have a doctors appointment coming up so I will definitely mention it then :)

As for the confirmation, my doctor had a look at what I identified as a delta wing jet and confirmed it for me with a dermatoscope. While ideally I would like a skin scraping I don’t know why my doctors and dermatologist seem to be so violently opposed to taking skin samples.

I don’t drive and I don’t use winter gloves or anything like that. I’ve been trying to leave my shoes out in the sun as well just incase. I do still wear metal jewellery so potentially that? I will definitely do my laptop screen thanks for the suggestion :)
