Hurty Gertie

So I’ve got another hole in my head. Had another scalp breakout, and went to see someone who actually knows about skin as a specialty, a dermatologist.

Took a history, scanned in my driver’s license (and that horrible picture). Looked at my scalp and listened to my symptoms. Found a spot and took a sample (ouch) and I guess we’ll see.

They were supposed to give me a “rebate” coupon for a prescription shampoo, but they ran out. It’s like with my biologic – I pay X per treatment, but then I get this “payment card” from the manufacturer to bring my cost down to almost nothing. What’s up with that?

Looks like it is “just” seborrheic dermatitis so, now what. It is PSA? It’s not? It’s both? SB on my arm? If not, then what is that patch? And the stuff on my neck and eyebrows?

So what’s the deal, PsA or RA? Since I “don’t” have psoriasis, then it’s RA. Mild so far. Either way, it sucks.

Off to talk to the insurance company and Drs office to get my shot meds (no, don’t have them yet …).
