Ok, here goes my story! In February, I never thought I would have to worry about any type of skin disease! Little did I know... In March I was hit with strep throat, twice. At 31, it had been years since I had it last, so getting it twice was horrible. About 3 weeks later, I started to notice huge splotch marks on my legs. I thought it was a reaction to the medication... little did I know. Finally in June, I started to think it wasn't the medication! I started getting the splotch marks on my elbows... legs... and arms! They would itch and flake like you wouldn't believe... well, I'm guessing my friends on this site can actually imagine my pain! At any rate, I finally went to a derm. He simply gave me TACLONEX cream and said it would clear me up. Well, it's been 6 months and NO CHANGE! I tried to simply accept this. I still wear shorts and short sleeved shirts, but I'm sick of explaining my issue to everyone.. everywhere! I'm not educated on the disease at all, but there has to be some type of derm or doctor close to me that can help! I live in Junction City Kansas. If anyone knows of a specialist in or around my area please let me know! I just want my skin back!
