Dear all,
We have an elderly client who has recently moved from her old home into a small flat.
Unfortunately something in the new residence, possibly pollen from nearby trees, or dust from the road, has triggered a major allergic response and she now suffers from severe and intractable pruritus/itching from the crown of her head (scalp and all) to her feet, plus several patches of allergic dermatitis/eczema all over.
Understandably she finds this very distressing, and it is preventing her from getting on with her life, or taking part in normal day to day activities.
Sadly she has been unable to obtain a GP appointment for yonks, on the grounds that dermatological conditions are not an emergency.
Meanwhile she has been taking over the counter anti-histamines like Cetrizine, Fexofenadine, Piriton, etc etc etc, in a bid to alleviate the itching.
As she anticipates having to continue taking them until she manages to see her doctor and get some prescription medication, she has requested us to inquire if anyone has any unwanted or redundant over the counter antihistamines (anything that works for HAYFEVER RELIEF will relieve the itching too) or skin ointments for eczema that she could use, while waiting to get a Dermatology referral.
Our charity website is here. https://peteranderson1958.wixsite.com/website-1
Please email me on peteranderson1958@gmail.com if you can help.
As we are perennially short of volunteer drivers, delivery would be much appreciated.
Cheers.
Pete
