Barefoot in Brazil

April 7, 2010 by 4 Comments

A 26 year old fit and well mining engineer returns from working in north-eastern Brazil with an intensely pruritic rash on both feet, present for several weeks.

He has been self treating the rash with over-the-counter creams and tablets from Brazil, and has also self-traumatised the area with a penknife.
