Have you tried using Healthgrades or MediFind? Both of these websites assist patients find physicians. I have also used WebMD and Vitals. Some of the sites request locations. I review experience/expertise/education and patient reviews. Believe it or not, the physicians read them! I was thanked by a surgeon recently for my review about him. I suggest searching by speciality which in our case is dermatology. I also suggest the American Academy of Dermatology as a resource to find a dermatologist. Good luck to everyone.

Thanks, but the John Hopkins is a five hour drive from my house and not very conducive for me. I'm looking for a local experienced Purigo Nodularious Dermatologist in Chesapeake, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Portsmouth or surrounding areas in Virginia. . There must me one within a 40 mile radius? If anyone here can assist me I would greatly appreciate it.

For local options, start by:
- Asking your primary care provider for a referral to a dermatologist experienced with PN
- Contacting your insurance provider for a list of in-network dermatologists
- Calling dermatology offices directly to ask about their experience treating PN patients When meeting with a potential dermatologist, they should be able to:
- Perform proper diagnostic tests like skin scrapings or biopsies
- Discuss various treatment options including topical medications, injections, and oral medications
- Work with other specialists if needed
- Create a comprehensive treatment plan specific to your symptoms
