Not sure JAS but the right photo looks a bit crusty so could be a form of eczema. Check with doctor though. Xxxxx

It is possible that he is having an allergic reaction to the iron tablets so maybe check with the pharmacist or let the GP have a look. Or maybe it's the heat?

He also has COPD and diabetes. We were five weeks before we eventually got the right treat,ent.

See the GP and ask for help. Took three different ones before they got it right
