Woke up one morning, started to scratch an itch on my lower rib cage. Hurt like hell, looked down and saw a little patch of that, half the dia. of a dime.
Freaked out, rushed to Kaiser, saw an older doctor (learned later that he was allegedly homeopathic), told me, You have Herpes.
Freaked out, Where'd I get Herpes?! Relax, you've always had it. It's not Herpes Simplex. I said, I thought that's a derailleur? No, and you didn't get it off of a bicycle seat.
Doctor asks, Are you under any kind of stress? Well, I'm in the middle of a divorce. Doctor says, That's probably what brought it on.
Freaked out, said, The divorce is permanent! Is this?! Doctor laughs, says no. Well what's the cure. There isn't one, he says. Relax, don't worry about it and it'll go away.
So I did and it was gone in less than a week as I recall.
