Delimma update

And now ladies and gentlemen for my next trick, I think I have scabies!!!!

A nasty blistery patch came up on my back and I thought it was a burn from the hot rock massage. But alas, patches that I thought were itchy bites are popping up. We fly out at 5am then straight on a tour so no pharmacy until tomorrow afternoon. I feel like I can feel them burrowing into my skin and taking over new plots. Uurggghhh. I have smothered them in betadine antiseptic for now. Nighty nighty from me and my squatters.  

Went to the pharmacy with the name of the drugs that I need (from my trusty pharmacist (thanks Ian). The lady spoke no English so I showed her a patch and she reached out immediately for some cream. Now that I have googled the name of it I find that it is for herpes. Maybe I have shingles?  

Have taken some Lysine and have them creamed up and covered.
