Hi Betsy,

Thanks for the reply..I will certainly read up on the websites that you posted.  I believe I am dealing with a rebound rash.  On the last visit to the dr., she said that she hated to give me more oral steroids because she felt that it would do more harm than good.  Anyways, here we are six days later and there has been little to no change.  I called the doctor's office today to let the dr. know that there has been no change.  A nurse's aid called me back and said that the dr. recommended I see a dermatologist.  She said that dr. would call around and try to set up an appt.  A few hrs. later, I received a phone call from the nurses aid telling me the earliest a dermatologist could see me was the first week in June, and that she recommends that I call around and then let them know if I was able to get an appt. somewhere sooner.  They would be more than happy to fax over the office notes to the dermatologist once the appt. was made.  The dr. just made me feel upset because how dare she think that I could wait three weeks to be seen--since this has been going on for so long now.  Anyways, I will call around tomorrow and hopefully be able to get in to a dermatologist's office sometime in the near future! will keep you updated.
