Update

Well, I'm down to two significant MC lumps, still covered with tape. There are 4 or 5 other suspicious looking lumps, but they are very small and they don't have the same "glassy" look as the MC usually has. I'm keeping a close eye on them though.

It's interesting to note that the area of the original lumps is completely clear, the remaining lumps are all on the adjacent skin. So I wonder if I had removed/covered the original lumps straight away (and hadn't shaved the area), if it would be completely gone now?

Following a comment to one of my posts below, I've started applying tea tree oil daily, instead of lemon myrtle oil. Basically I had a large bottle already in the medicine kit (it's good for spider bites apparently), and I don't have to muck around diluting it like with the lemon myrtle oil. It burns a bit on application to sensitive skin areas, but other than that it's quick and easy to do - I just dab it over the entire affected area before bed every night. I'm not sure if it's doing any good, but it's not doing any harm either.

I believe my body is now fighting the virus, possibly helped by the vitamin C etc I'm taking, but probably just a matter of timing. I am still being pedantic about my nutrition, sleep, and general cross-infection hygiene though... I may stick with the vitamin supplements indefinitely yet, I feel much better generally anyway.

Still cautiously optimistic....
