What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

If she puts vaseline on them under a plaster overnight they come off. I assume you mean seborrheic warts.


Solar keratosis can be treated and can be very nasty if occuring on the face and some are treated by laser, freezing or Solareaze (over a long period). (Sorry that was incorrect before I am thinking of sun damage and solar or actinic keratosis which come on the face and can be precancerous. )
Seb keratosis is not caused by the Sun therefore just ugly and not a problem

I was told to do that to seb warts by a very good Dermatologist at Carlisle when I worked in Medical Physics. Their quite unlike melanoma. Had my back checked once a year for last thirty years.

Melanomas have to be caught when they appear, one should get them out straight away in situ. They readily spread to lymph and lung.
Had several suspects taken off over the years and a positive one this March .

Any tips for skin tags?
 
Thanks Ian.
 
6.8 this morning, so not so bad, stabilising in high 6's!
Cool and windy on the peninsula coast today, Sun making an effort to escape the cloud cover, but it's a nagging northern breeze/ hurricane, depending where your standing!
Lots of footie on box this afternoon, so if I can't get into the garden, that is a plan, unless....
I'm aching again for no apparent reason, muscles and joints, must be the weather! Unless....
It might be a chill or something from the footie, sitting in the draught stand! Unless.....

My father, when he came back from the far east, due to his health was given a job in the civil defence. Mainly as a driving instructor. He tried to teach me! But I was rubbish!
He did tell me about driving in Burma, India, the jungle and the worst was the monsoon season. He also had to learn when over there, how to lead a mule, packed with the machinery of war!
Which was here yesterday! The monsoon, not the mule!

I had another word of the day, but I was too discombodulated to remember it!

I have had a skin tag on my neck since whenever, other than nicking it occasionally whilst shaving, I completely ignore it!

Enjoy your sabbath, if it is today.
Best wishes as always.
 
I have loads of skin tags - far too many to do anything about - but there are about 3 that are sore because they catch on my clothes, particularly one on my neck. If I could get rid of it I would be able to do without the silk scarf that protects it from my collars. A doctor did try to get rid of it a few years ago, by freezing it, but it didn't work. Actually got bigger. Literally a pain in the neck!

Thank’s @ianpspurs. Thinker in residence. Wonder how many times you get to unthink things?
 
I love the acorn kaleidoscope @gennepher.
 
Your day sounds very much like Mr K's day. My day today has been wonderfully relaxing. Lots of coffee and reading and some lovely long dog walks with Poppy and a shorter walk with Archie who has been a bit under the weather.

Because of the upcoming 3 week break I have been shoehorning my 1:1 clients into my diary. Tomorrow's diary is truly horrendous.
 
Hope you do get the antivirals tomorrow @anneb.
 
Has a good comprehensive school our two went to.
Was the home of Melvyn Bragg's parents who had the Throstles Nest and later mother had a sweet shop I believe.
Some of his novels are locally based.

Yes I knew he was from there Judith's god mother lived in Seaton she was Ethel Fisher MBE and used to write poems in the Cumbrian dialect and had some books published Farmyard Tales, We Ploughed by Moonlight and a few others.

Fbg was 5.7 this morning.
 
Yes, definitely lovely artwork just as it is @gennepher
 
I didn't realise that seborrheic keratosis was a form of wart. They are truly huge. One has now fallen off on it's own. Thank you for the tip about the Vaseline and the plaster - I will let my sister know so she can get rid of the other one.
