Hi, How are you today?

I have dug out the letter from my consultant and the name is "Jessners lympoctytic infiltrate".
Totally harmless.

ooops! it should be "lymphoctytic"

I am feeling good, just a little bored, I could do some housework but really cannot be bothered. There is only me and my husband so the 'house' doesn't need much 'work'. I don't know how lucky I am do I !! I'll say that before I get blasted by other ABers that have too much to do, ha ha.
I'm going to google 'jessners lymphoctytic infiltrate' now and have a read of that, so I will speak to you later. Bye for now. xx

Hello icemaiden
I hope you don't mind me butting into your thread but I suffer with Jessners or I should say suffered .I had this for many years ,from my late twenties onwards .And it was many years before I was given a correct diagnosis by the tropical medicine dept at St Georges Tooting ,having tried many creams,lotions and potions and undergoing several biopsies over the years to no avail.
It was always mainly on my face and chest and was aggravated by the sun .Looked as if I had measles on a grand scale .I was advised to use a very high factor sunscreen all year round which did help .
Now I have reached my dotage though it seems to have calmed down considerably although I do get the odd blotch or itchy patch now and again but nowhere near as bad as it was and it's easily covered by a bit of make up. There was a time when it looked so horrible I used to sit and cry although I knew it was nothing serious :)
It can clear up spontaneously for no apparent reason,as mine has done (touch wood) and I hope yours isn't too bad and soon clears up .

Hi Shaneystar2...Of course I do not mind you "butting in" on this thread. In fact I am really surprised that some one else has suffered with this on Answerbank. So sorry to hear that you suffered a great deal when you were younger.

Sounds like you had it very bad, so I have to be grateful that compared to you mine is really quite mild. I am surprised that the biopsies you had did not result in a diagnosis as mine did. I guess times have changed dramatically.
Really pleased that it has now clamed down for you. I only seem to have had this one lump/patch so far but I am aware that it may flare up again. However, atleast now I know it is not serious and that it is controllable.
Thank you for your input and information shaneystar2.

Take care xx
