first thing i thought; eczema kinda thing; but wizard, nothing simple about eczema surely.. Eczema is not a straight disease it is very affected by mind sorta psycho-somatic, so meditation, acupuncture and other stuff your gp may not be clued up on could help. And now for the not so simple bit; sympathetic eczema and telepathic eczema; i never had eczema ever till my daughter got it and before i knew she had it, i got eczema, same spot.. So wish it away maitre d' like with warts,
