The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Ray's update from dermatologist Posted by Krista on 7/3/2025, 4:24 pm Ray went to dermatologist - same office but diff doctor than I saw - she has no idea what's going on with his rash (like mine) but gave him a 5 day script for prednisone and did a skin biopsy! He has 2-3 stitches. He even told her I was seeing the other doc and looked at the file. Whatever gets us to an end solution!

Are you still Posted by Delta on 7/4/2025, 5:08 pm, in reply to "Ray's update from dermatologist" using the hot tub? Do you use a similiar product to keep the pool and hot tub clean and clear? I asked because I just remembered that when we moved here 40+ years ago my husband started breaking out in hives. He went to the dermatologist several times before the dermatologist suggested the water treatment for the area where we lived. He said that he had a few other patients who also got hives that lived there, and one got relief when he moved away and that was all that he could figure since the area used a different product to treat the water tha other municipalities around. We moved shortly after that, and no more hives. Last year, after swimming in my son's poo,l he broke out in hives. My son couldn't get his regular treatment and had used a different product. When he switched back to his regular product, it didn't bother my husband again. What ever is causing this, I hope you both get relief soon.

Also gave him 2 lotions Posted by Krista on 7/4/2025, 8:56 am, in reply to "Ray's update from dermatologist" a strong steroid for his arms and another medicated cream for the rest of his body. I hope they work. He sees the doc again in 3 weeks so if he works for him, he will talk to her about talking to my doctor.

So strange! Posted by Joan on 7/4/2025, 6:48 am, in reply to "Ray's update from dermatologist" So, the second doctor has no idea what's going on with Ray!?!?! I hope the two of them can get together for a solution!

I'm sure they will Posted by Krista on 7/4/2025, 7:53 am, in reply to "So strange!" Mine said that histamines are being released but we don't have the cause. I admit it's odd to see 2 different approaches

Krista Posted by Beverly on 7/4/2025, 12:49 am, in reply to "Ray's update from dermatologist" I am glad he saw the doctor and has started a treatment ands skin biopsy. I hope the doctor can maybe, work together.

Would be nice if Posted by Cindyh on 7/3/2025, 8:42 pm, in reply to "Ray's update from dermatologist" The same doc could see you both!

Yes it would Posted by Krista on 7/4/2025, 7:52 am, in reply to "Would be nice if" but sadly we have 3 dermatologists in the same city - at least they work in the same office so they can at least check the files. I did ask at the referral but it was 1 week to get into mine while who knows how long to get into Ray's. He was already a patient which is how he got into her quickly.

I hope he can get some… Posted by Cindy on 7/3/2025, 5:10 pm, in reply to "Ray's update from dermatologist" Relief and between the 2 doctors you guys can get some answers!
