Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am a therapist and have a client with bizarre symptoms and suspect that she is intentionally injuring herself. She has multiple areas where her skin is either blistered or an open sore. She goes to emergency rooms frequently with her baffling symptoms. No one can figure it out. Her husband contacted me recently to say that he is becoming suspicious. He found a half empty bottle of the cleaning product CLR hidden in the back of a cabinet that he has never used. He cleans the house and she works. Could the application of this product burn the skin enough to leave a large open sore?
In my opinion you need to talk to her to find out the issues. Talk to her husband about the issues. It looks like she is having fictitious disorder. What gains she has must be looked into.
Thank you for the query. Hope that clarifies your concerns.
