I highly recommend her too. She's been my dermatologist for apx 10 years.

She's great for Botox treatments too.

She has been biopsied twice. It’s all over both of her legs. But she does not have the main symptom which is intense itching and scratching. We need to get another opinion to ensure this is what she has.

I would take the biopsy reports to the new derm. Depending on when in a cycle of waxing/waning skin disease they sample, they can see different things at different times. You want someone to have the entire picture and they may want to biopsy again anyway.

I am sorry—it is rough.
