I got caught out on day three. Nothing dramatic, but a burn on my forearms from an hour outside that would normally have done nothing at all. Worth planning around rather than finding out.

Hot wash and hot dry for what has been in contact in the last few days. Anything you cannot wash, sealed in a bag for a couple of weeks is more than enough.

Long term use has a good safety record and people have stayed on it for many years in follow up studies. So the review is about whether you still need it rather than whether it is safe to continue.

Do mention it at your follow up, partly so it is documented as part of the picture and partly because a clinician can distinguish it from other causes of patchy hair loss.

Mycoplasma genitalium is the one that often turns out to be behind this. It causes similar symptoms, it is not covered by gonorrhoea treatment, and it is not in most standard screens.

If you go back before your partner has been treated you are very likely to get it straight back. That is not bad luck, it is arithmetic, and it is why half the reinfection threads here exist.

Mine faded substantially over about a year but did not disappear entirely. Honestly it bothered me much less than the wart did.

Time zones catch people out on daily dosing. Ask the clinic how to handle a large shift rather than improvising at three in the morning in an airport.

It felt like a cut to me too until somebody explained this. Worth asking your programme for their explanation, because they all publish one.

I would be careful about reaching for the non sexual explanation. It is real but rare, and a partner going untreated on the strength of it is how people end up back here in a month.

If you go episodic, get the prescription in advance so it is in the cupboard. Episodic treatment started on day three is close to useless, and that is what happens when you have to book an appointment first.

Ask about the recurrence rate for your specific situation. Physical removal clears what is visible but it does not remove the virus from the surrounding skin, so recurrence is still possible.

A dentist is a legitimate route for this and often the fastest appointment. Tell them it has been there five weeks.

Reasonable approach is to do both. Treat now with the shop product, keep the appointment for the screen. Waiting a week while itching serves nobody.

If you fall into one of those and were not offered one, that is worth a phone call. If you do not, what you got is the standard pathway rather than a lesser version.

Do keep attending. The other thing that happens at this age is people deciding they have aged out of screening, and the programmes have specific rules about when screening actually stops.
