Patients for Episode 8 included 38-year-old Jeff, whose in-growing facial hair was destroying his self confidence. There was Rosacea suffering Susan who was so embarrassed about her constant blushing that she couldn’t even face going for a job interview.
There was also 47 year-old Gael, whose face was covered in ugly blood blisters – the result of a genetic condition. Finally there was Geoff, who had reached the end of his tether with his severe psoriasis. Due to complications he couldn’t have light therapy, so his last hope is the Embarrassing Illnesses clinic.
Dr Jessen also hit a student union bar where he explained how dietary habits were crucial when it came to avoiding bowel cancer.

Remember watching an episode where a girl had really bad cracking skin on her shins (possibly due to shaving?) and you recommended some creams and cling film. this seemed to clear the problem. What was the condition called and what was prescribed?

I have been diagnosed with Lupus which has made my nose red,swollen and lumpy. Does anyone have any experience of this or know of a cure. I have been prescribed various steriods with no success.
