Like Kritters, I am 61 and had "my share" 40-50 years ago. Really not anything for at least 10 years, in that dept. Three years ago I had MUCH exposure to dirt. I spent the whole summer digging up the lawn and redistributing shovelfulls of dirt to try to stop erosion. No gloves, wearing sandals, always in the dirt.
That's when my first crop of lesions appeared on my legs. Then I had a bird mite infestation the following summer, and all hell broke loose. The lesions that I got that time were different from the leathery-scabbed ones from the summer before. These were like ulcers.
I was also on a lot of medications for MS and other diagnosed conditions.
