    Ok, stupid question cause i know they deal with the skin. But do they deal with hair?
    I had 2 rashes sinces nov 2008. They both cleared up and the 2nd time it cleared up and i wasn't using anything. During my 2nd rash, my doctor said she would refer me to a dermatalogist and I have been waiting 6 weeks. Its a good thing it cleared!
    I dont know should i cancel the appointment if i ever get it or not. I have pictures of the rash when it was at the worst back in november but i have also been losing the hair on my legs which blood results for a few tests came back fine. So if dermatalogists deal with hair, i could go and see if they can find any connection with it all.

    Thanks

    good question
    dematologist deal with skin technically hair is part of the skin

    Forgive me for saying but skin conditions rarely fatal, more cosmetic and can be very disturbing if on an area of exposed skin

    Very few dermatologists in Ireland, waiting time long thus acute problem often gone when the patient is seen

    However you have done something few ever do, take pictures of their won rashes thus you at least have something to show as well as your story so it may help prevent or assist you if you get another attack (the advice of dermatologist I mean)

    not sure the significance of losing hair on legs
