Just wanted to let everyone know we're back from our unexpected trip to the Cleveland Clinic with what looks to be an accurate diagnosis (and a daughter who can go out in public again!). When David called yesterday morning about the possibility of seeing a dermatologist, we didn't expect to be leaving later the same day. They reassured us that, yes, she did need to be extra careful when it came to infection and that we had done the right thing. After seeing two different doctors in Orleans and Bloomington and trying four different medications with no relief AND the infection/condition/whatever spreading, we knew she needed help.
She saw a dermatologist and an assisting resident who spent a great deal of time asking questions and, as always there, we really felt like they cared about her and her condition. They felt that it was more of an allergic reaction (at this point, not able to identify what the cause was) and are treating it with two topical creams. Lisa, I knew you would ask, so here they are - Triamcinolone Acetonide and Mupirocin. She has already seen a tremendous improvement! I'm so glad we went!
