with a facial rash? Sitting here looking made up to play Falstaff for a third-rate am-dram company, it's sore, I feel ill, can't see a doctor until the morning and yes, I've been googling.

Also had hidradenitis suppurative in the past- could there be a connection?

Or hang on- just hold my hand please!

Booked to go abroad to see family in just under a fortnight and things will seriously blow up if I can't. Deadline for book chapter at the end of next week and all my stuff is in the office. Serious health problems in other parts of family: I need to be the one who can be there for them. And I feel like shit and look like Falstaff....

My gran used to get it. From memory, she needed antibiotics / meds to clear it up & docs never knew what triggered it

Thanks. I did go to minor injuries unit today but was told they couldn't treat or diagnose so should go straight to GP tomorrow. Antibiotics were strongly hinted at, so that might well be it then.

The only other thing that comes up with googling is systemic lupus and I really can't believe I've got that.
