There must be some "Board" where malpractice can be reported to. This dr. paid no attention to my needs, she just glanced at my rash and told me it was atopic dermatitis and to change my soaps...prescribed me some topical ointment and sent me over to her "in-house" vitamin person who had a product line available immediately. I personally think she was more interested in selling her products than caring about the rash. PS...went for a 2nd opinion and was diagnosed with dermatomyositis which can be terminal if related to a cancer (of which I am...and the 1st derm...knew this) Answer:this lst doctor you went to was she an M.D. board certified dermatologist......? It is obvious that atopic dermatitis and dermatomyositis are different skin disease......atopic dermatitis is usually caused by allergies and I believe dermatomyositis is an auto immune disease. Maybe you should get a third opinion by visiting with a rheumatologist or endocrinologist. good luck Call the American Medical ASsociation or go online. If they get enough complaints or lawsuits they can be disbarred. That's terrible, but not surprising! Contact the American Board of Dermatology |
