The next day we were ready to get back to work. Today we were scheduled to go even further, to Candelaria to the location of a second church. On the way there, we saw this cool-looking igunana that was about a couple of feet long.
I saw about 42 patients at Candelia, including 2 cases of a rare skin disorder, epidermolysis bullosa. The first patient, shown in the pictures below was only 29 years old but looked more like 60.
The pictures below show the bullae on her hands and the scars from ruptured bullae and sloughed off skin on her back.
Even if she lived in the States, I doubt we could have done a lot for her.

There was also a lot of bad teeth in El Salvador, probably because of no fluoride in the water.
Here's a funny picture of a little boy that does not want the doc to look in his ears.
Seeing a lot of rashes,
white spots on skin
and fungal infections.
Here's our dentist looking happy, tired and ready to work.
It was a busy day of seeing patients.
By the time we got back to base, we were all pretty tired.
