> be that as it may, there are many other reasons for the development of a secondary ring in middle age --- As the skin tears, it must be dry .. this could suggest fibrotic elements, but also maybe the lack of water, ... well I have an inkling that this MAY be a suggestion for diabetes - does your man recently need to drink lots of water? -
