A 23-year-old man presents to his GP with a range of difficulties, including depression, binge drinking, smoking, occasional drug use, and problems with anger management. He is about to become homeless as his girlfriend has asked him to leave. The patient has been diagnosed with moderately severe depression and scores 17 out of 27 on the PHQ-9. He binge drinks, smokes cigarettes, and occasionally uses cannabis and cocaine.The patient expresses a desire to stop binge drinking but is not yet ready to quit smoking. What is the most appropriate way to address his alcohol use?
A 6-year-old boy is brought back to the GP by his mother, following a visit a week ago for an acute, widespread rash. At that time, the rash was diagnosed as allergic, with no specific trigger identified, and he was treated with an antihistamine. His mother reports no improvement and notes that he has been playing a lot in the garden due to unseasonably warm weather, but he has no history of hay fever, asthma, or eczema. He hasn’t eaten anything unusual or changed his soap or detergent. No one else in the family or their social circle has a similar rash, and he has no other symptoms, although the rash is slightly itchy.
The boy appears well and has no fever. The rash covers his trunk and, to a lesser extent, his limbs. It consists of oval patches, 1–3 cm in size, some with mild scaling along their edges, and seems to follow the skin creases. His mother recalls that one of the patches appeared on his chest about 5 days before the rash spread. What is the most likely diagnosis?
