A 38-year-old man attends his GP, complaining of a change in appearance

A 38-year-old man attends his GP, complaining of a change in appearance. He has noticed his skin has become very coarse and dry, and it remains so despite using liberal amounts of moisturiser. He brings a photo of himself from several years ago and points out to you that his face looked slimmer than it used to, and he feels like he has become “more ugly”. He also says he feels clumsier with his hands than before, and trips over his feet – he feels “like an oaf”.
