Dupixent. I have had some painful times but no positive? Would you do it? Only tests I have had are 2 nonspecific biopsies.
Georgia, I'm going to respectfully suggest that prior to seeing a new dermatologist that you take the time to obtain your medical records from the previous dermatologist, to take along to your initial appointment. Another thought I have is to review your current dermatological situation with you primary care physician. If possible, I also encourage you to write a list of questions and concerns for the appointment, plus a list of your current and past medications. It may be helpful to provide your medical history as well. After all, physicians only provide patients with a limited amount of time so I think it is worthwhile to be prepared. Good luck. P.S. If you are able, maybe take a support person as a second set of ears and to take notes for you.
Thank you! I don't know with my age, the cost and no positive diagnosis. I see a new dermatologist this week but none seems to have much knowledge. I'm going to ask for further tests!
