[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again - I was able to get a derm appointment with Dr. Brooks in Skin Cosmetic Dermatology in Glover Park the same day.  Huge plus.  Great, clean and peaceful office with a bubbling fountain - helpful especially since I was nervous.  He used a very small needle to release pressure from the cyst and take some of the gross stuff out.  Didn't hurt. He advised using a very warm compress/cloth with salt water as much as I could the next several hours to draw more fluid out.  I did and it seems to be working.  The cyst looks a LOT better, doesn't hurt anymore and smaller in size.  He also gave several samples.  [/quote]

I'm so glad you went to the dr OP.

I was 6 m PP when I broke out horribly on my nose. I've had bad skin for many years but it was not ever so intense and looked horrible. Ive never been to the dermatologist but after 5 days I had had it. I scheduled and appt and the dermatologist took one look and told me it was shingles. Totally freaked out bc the baby doesn't get the chicken pox vaccine till 1 year. I took a lot of precaution to prevent the baby from getting it. So glad I went to see the dermatologist. Her PA who I initially saw had no idea....[/quote]
