No pain, no itch -- it doesn't look too severe but still kind of strange. She asked the doctor about it and basically got no info, suggested a steroid cream (it's always that or an inhaler with this guy, he's diagnosed all my kids with asthma a bunch of times when they just had colds).
So we went to Dr. Google and found that's actually a symptom of insulin resistance, and in more severe cases could lead to type 2 diabetes. The pictures look almost exactly the same (though the pictures are much more severe cases of course). Gee, would've been nice to learn that from a DOCTOR.

What do you call a student that graduates last in their medical class?
