Q: Dermatologists Are Horrible!

Ok I called my dermatologist at home if there is any treatment I could use for my pityarasis rosea because it's spreading and worsening all over my body. He puts in a prescription at my university for protopic. When I buy the stuff, I look up the information up to see what it's good for. Protopic only treats atopic dermatitis (eczema). I said I had problems with pityarsis rosea! How could he mess up on this! Ugh!!!! It's already the weekend!

What good would this medication do???

Some dermatologists are maybe horrible but there are others who are good and can be counted upon and not all of them charge so much. Maybe you can find other good dermatologists. :d

I believe the worst doctors are in the northeast part of us

o the ratio of patient to doctor is the most uneven. Far more patients than doctors.
O they make you wait an infinitely long time to even get an appointment.
O they never spend enough time with you because the lines are always too long.
O they are always accompanied by student doctors due to the high number of colleges in the area.
