Skin Update

For those of you who have been anxiously waiting about the results of our dermatology appointment, well I finally have a conclusion! The trip to the doctor is a whole other story in itself. I don't think typing out the experience can do it justice, but let's just say I was crying on the phone with the appointment lady because I was lost and was beginning to run late. Which led to almost scratching the car trying to park in the parking garage and then crying to the valet guy who was telling me to go try the garage because valet was full. The tears seemed to help in both situations because the lady stayed on the phone with me till I found the place and the valet guy was willing to let me park my car to the side upon me telling him I tried the garage, it's full, my appointment is right now and he peers in the back and sees a sleeping toddler. I rip Zachary out of his seat...I know a rude awakening, but I was afraid that after waiting 2 months for the appointment they were going to make me reschedule. At least it was not a life or death skin condition, but I had been stressing about having to go to the medical center since making the appointment. Luckily, we still saw the doctor, who was wonderful!! She diagnosed him with a rare form of Acne. I wish I had gotten the name of the actual diagnosis, but I was just happy she could cure him. Of course the medications the last two pediatricians prescribed him helped fuel the vicious cycle of the "measles" (as one lady asked) looking skin disease on his chin. She prescribed him some new medicine that I don't want to know what would've cost if we didn't have insurance. She also wanted to prescribe him an oral antibiotic, but of course the one she wanted to give him is the one medication that has caused him to have a rash before. What are the chances?!? So, hopefully it will make it all go away. It is already starting to look better even though she said it may look worse before it starts to get better!! Luckily it's something he will grow out of, but it will continue to reoccur for quite a while and each time it comes, I just need to reapply the medicine. YEA!! We will finally have cute pictures forever and always...not that the little red bumps completely inhibited a cute picture, but I'm happy to say bye, bye!
