Dermatologist appt
A month ago my skin was having a major flare of sebderm. I have
sebderm and rosacea. Anyway, I made an appt with a top notch
dermatologist for March 29th. In between my flaring and now my skin
has gone into remission. I have only a little sebderm with oiliness
and redness (rosacea). I mean almost 95% clear.
Should I cancel my appt with the dermatologist? I mean, he’s going
to see me and say "I don’t see the problem."
I hate this. I find myself actually wishing for my skin to go bad
just so I can be taken seriously.

Tina,
This happens to me all the time–i swear it is like some kind of
psychosymatic response–I am always at my worst when I call and make the
appt but I am usually clear when the day of the appointment finally arrives,
very weird.
Anyway, was there a new medicine that you wanted to try–we know the derms
aren’t much help unless we go in there and specifically ask for something we
haven’t tried yet–my derms never have made any suggestions to try something
new, i always have to ask for it.
The way I look at it now, when something new comes out or i want to try
something else, I call the nurse and ask her to call in the RX–going in to
see the doctors is really not worth my time anymore as they know me by now
and they will either agree to call in the RX without seeing me or they just
wont give me the RX even if I go in to see them.
I wanted to try Singulair, a newer anti-inflammatory asthma medicine (I
don’t have asthma), that some people have reported has helped clear up their
eczema. Figured it may help with my eczema and more importantly with the
seb derm but the derms said they would not give it to me–this bothers me
because the drug is really safe and is being rx’ed to little kids to take as
a daily anti-inflammatory.
I may try buying it over the web but it is really expensive but it looks
like it may really work and seems very safe.
