Dermatologist: Jake Ventor? Please come in and take a seat.
Jake Ventor: Thanks.
Dermatologist: OK, now, I understand from your GP that you’ve got a problem with your hand?
Jake Ventor: Yes, I went to see her a couple of weeks ago because of a sore on my left hand. I’ve had it for years, but not all the while. You know, it appears, then it gets better, then it comes back. It’s here on the palm, it’s almost gone now, but she wasn’t sure what it was, so she said I’d better see a dermatologist. She took a photo, did you get that?
Dermatologist: I did, I did, yes. So… so tell me a bit about the condition, how it feels, and…
Jake Ventor: Well, I always know when I’m going to get it because I have this itching beforehand, I wake up at night wanting to scratch the area, though I try to stop myself. Then, a few hours later, I get one or two little blisters, and they gradually get bigger and join up into one big one. It all feels a bit hot and the skin around it goes red. When I showed this to the doctor, she used the word ‘chaotic’ to describe it. Anyway, it gradually dries up and I get a scab. Then, after about two weeks, that falls off and there’s just a little red patch, like you can see now.
Dermatologist: OK.
Jake Ventor: I’ve been getting it for years, um… I actually got it the first time when I was in China in the 1990s. I had a job there for a couple of years before I came back here. Err… That first time, I also had a similar sore on my chest, but that’s never come back. But the one on my hand, that comes back every year or so, but never in exactly the same place. I thought it’d sorted itself out, ‘cos I didn’t get it for a couple of years – but then it came back. So, there’s, there’s no pattern, it’s not getting more frequent or anything, and it doesn’t seem linked to anything in my daily life, like it doesn’t seem to happen when I’m run down for example, or because of anything in my diet, or if I’m under a lot of pressure at work, that sort of thing. So, the doctor thought you needed to have a look, also because I had a malignant melanoma on my back that was removed in 2006. It was at quite an early stage and it hadn’t got too deep.
Dermatologist: OK well, that’s good. Still, I’ll just have a look at your back… Was it down here?
Jake Ventor: Yeah, that’s right.
Dermatologist: OK, well… Yep, that all looks absolutely fine. Well, I don’t think you need to worry about anything sinister here. By the way, have you ever had cold sores?
Jake Ventor: No, never. But I did wonder if this thing on my hand was something like that. In fact, I
wanted to ask you about that. There’s an antiviral cream you can use, isn’t there, to stop them developing. I wondered if you could prescribe me something like that.
Dermatologist: Look, the trouble is, these work well on the mouth because the skin’s very thin there, but I’m afraid they won’t have any effect in your case, because the skin on your hand’s so much thicker.
Jake Ventor: Oh, I see. And something else that worries me is whether there’s a chance of infection. Should I be covering the place up?
Dermatologist: No… No… You don’t need to unless there’s broken skin. It’s fine.
Jake Ventor: Good. And it’s not actually having an impact on my quality of life or anything like that. It’s something I can live with. I mean, I have done for all these years.
Dermatologist: OK… so, so really, the reason you went to the doctor after all these years was just to see if there was any way we could prevent this happening. Ok, well… at this stage, the best thing to do is organise a biopsy, it might be a bit uncomfortable, but it means we can rule certain things out.
Jake Ventor: OK.
