I was well numbed up for both so the procedures wasn't painful, were merely uncomfortable. <br /><br />Today, it hurts a bit.<br /><br />My primary dermatologist ignored the spots when I pointed them out. My secondary ordered biopsies. Then she removed them. In addition, my primary ignored the flaking, the pus and the bleeding AND the loss of hair on my head. I'm going to one more appointment with my primary to chew them out, show them my bald head and fire them. <br /><br />Steroids helped with the scalp but made me jittery and (more) sleepless. I'm off to get blood tests to see if a new treatment will work for me without side effects. <br /> <br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=malada&ditemid=161869" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
