Dear Doctor,
Re: Mr Peter Gordon
Age: 59 years
Please advise on the management of this chap who is concerned about his tanned appearance. He tells me that he went on holiday last year to Mexico and developed a tan, which has failed to resolve. Normally he finds it quite difficult to get a tan and I’m concerned that there may be an underlying medical problem on which your opinion is appreciated.
Yours sincerely
