(PS288) [39] It looks like an allergic rash [...] .
[40] Have you changed your soap powder or erm fabric softener.
(PS28A) [41] I don't used it cos my husband's allergic to it.
(PS288) [42] Aye, that's that's certainly what it looks like.
(PS28A) [43] Mhm.

[49] [laugh] I wouldn't do it to you.
[50] Right okay, up you come and we'll get you something for that.
[51] It's not erm anything that's he's going to pass on.
[52] It looks much much more like erm an allergic rash and he's got an allergic reaction to something.

(PS288) [54] Isn't it?
[55] Who's that, [...] sitting there?

(PS288) [70] [laugh] There we are.
[71] Now then, you go back to your mum, I'll write something down on a prescription here for you. [...]
(PS28A) [72] If it was an allergy to soap powder would it take a long time to come out?
(PS288) [73] Can do, it can take several months before it comes out.
(PS28A) [74] [...] I had been washing all his hand.
[75] his clothes by hand [...] before I went back to work and of course I don't have quite the same time
(PS288) [76] That's right.
(PS28A) [77] so I've been putting them in the washing machine so maybe
(PS288) [78] It could be something as simple as that.
(PS28A) [79] And it would take maybe, it could take longer, I mean it
(PS288) [80] Yes, it takes, it could take to get the skin sensitized
(PS28A) [81] I see.
