Jump for joy!! The doctor called me back this afternoon. She wanted to ask me if it was okay to call in another dermatologist to be there for my appointment next week to consult with. I said sure, no problem--I just want this mystery solved and soon!
That led to rescheduling my appointment on Monday to Tuesday, because the other doctor does not work past noon. So, I will go in late Tuesday morning and see what is up.
Biopsies were back and inconclusive.
1) Could be from contact from something new, lotions, anything put on skin, detergents, etc. I have used nothing new, so that is pretty much out.
2) A very rare rash. I suppose I will hear more on this at my appointment and why the other doctor was called in.
That's the latest. I'm off to shower and get my nighties on after I use some ice packs for a few minutes.

Tuesday will be here before you know it and hopefully you will have the answer.
Does a shower help?
Hot or cold?

That must take the sting out of the rash
Must be quite a relief.

@kareng I have something like eczema around my neck. Two years ago, it was a beautiful neck. LOL. Now, I have to wear something that hides the place as it has become gray after so much scratching and then usage of ointments, blah blah. My homeopath thinks it is ring worm. I think not. Because if it were ring worm, it would not come down with injections for allergies. What I have observed is, I am DEFINITELY allergic to brinjals. I am also allergic to eggs, and have issues with milk. Day before yesterday, the RMP asked me to stop using garlic and see. Jesus, he is going to ask me to starve all the way to my grave...one by one....LOL. Whatever....will have to try that next week or fortnight.

You have waited a long and finally you got this appointment. The inconclusive report always keeps you hanging there. Hope you get the clarity and the mystery is revealed soon. Take care.

@kareng Happy that it was not too late. Such late appointments can prolong and delay things. A right diagnosis and treatment in time would be so much appreciated.

@arunima25 I don't think anything will be resolved there. I'm pretty sure this is all auto immune related to the Sjogrens Syndrome that I have.

I was hoping those would show something. Go through everything you use even dryer sheets. Mom bought a different type one time and broke out. I just thought about that or would have mentioned it earlier. We didn't think of those right away because she had used dryer sheets forever

@kareng But a small change in detergent could do it. Or soap if you changed even the scent

@LindaOHio They won't treat an auto-immune illness. Just the rash that causes it.
