It definitely doesn't seem to be my week.

Since Friday evening I've had a stinging pain on my dick, and what looks like the skin peeling near where I'd been using this wart cream. It's reached the point where contact with water is really painful, so washing isn't a very pleasant experience. I have just had a bath and I had to grit my teeth to stop from shouting out. I had a piss and that hurt like hell because it came in contact with the skin. Even just sitting around or moving slightly is painful. I use the cream overnight on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, so I'm going to try to get to the GUM clinic tomorrow morning and ask about it before I continue using it. Still, this isn't what I had hoped for. I'm not even half way through the course of treatment and it's already getting nearly unbearable.

I still haven't heard back from the guy who said I gave him pubic lice. But I did managed to pick what looked like a tiny moving creature from the back of my thigh. The light wasn't bright enough to see it clearly, but it's not a good sign. I had noticed an itch, but kind of put it down to the heat we've been having lately and sweating.

I suppose I was being a bit stubborn, in denial about the possibility of having lice when I got a random message at a time like this. I just wanted to get through one thing at a time. Having another issue on top of other issues doesn't sound fun. So I'm probably going to end up having a nurse or doctor looking around my arse to see if there are lice living there. Great.

It's not something that's complicated to treat, at least. But if it's another cream, then that's a third cream I have to be applying (in addition to the warts one, and one for dry skin). I'm hoping I can get the cream for free from the GUM clinic. It's not expensive or anything, but still. You can't complain with free.

The part I'm not looking forward to is the idea of having to 'get your household treated'. It's bad enough getting baseless accusations of bringing disease into this house. Having to then say 'hey, you all need to treat yourself for pubic lice' is going to go over really well.
