“What I first do, is that I check if it’s swollen or not. Is there anything under the skin? And does it react to pressing or something. Then I put on some body lotion, I treat it in this sense, and then I monitor, huh. And if it stays as it is, then I leave it like this. Otherwise, I contact my family doctor, ask.

That helps a lot, doesn’t it? […] she usually brings things. She brings packages with plasters, everything is ready.

So if I have someone from the counselling service, then I know that they can organize a consultation for me.” (D2) |
