Once I picked up a rash in my armpit. I believe it came from using the gym-supplied towels at my company health center.

My doctor simply could not deal with it. Nothing he tried did any good.

I called my dad--a retired dermatologist.

"Does it glow under UV?" he asked.

"I don't know."

"Well, if it does, use X, and if it doesn't, use Y."

We checked. It did glow under UV. The local doc prescribed "X" (I have forgotten the details). A teensy bottle of an oily liquid. One drop a day for three days. Rash, she is gone! Voila! Presto!

My dad was good.

"My dad was good."

Right!

He was so good you went to your doctor 1st. even though your dad was a dermatologist.

Some of your cylinders aren't firing.

Sorry......you left yourself open for that one or were you checking to see if we were paying attention.;)

My brother is a vet, he's good with rashes too. My cat glowed under a blacklight, she had ringworm.

Man, I wish I had know it was x and not y. I had a rash in my crotch from the gym towels in high school and was a miserable kid for a couple of weeks.
