Today was my second visit with the latest derm I went to who I decided to try to listen to. I was appalled at how little time he took with me AGAIN on my second visit. I was in and out in what seemed like 30 seconds. He put a chemical peel on my face with a swab....I tried asking what it was before he put it on my face and still have no idea exactly what it was. I felt some tingling though which he told me would happen after he put it on. I didn't even get to address some concerns I have and wanted to tell him I think these super tiny tiny bumps I have all over my face may be spreading to my neck now.
He is at least the first doctor to have prescribed me a pill to battle my problem so I thought I would go with trying things out with him but now I am just pissed and upset.
During my first visit with him two weeks ago, he told me I have acne rosacea just like 2 other doctors did. I asked him on the initial visit if he was sure and his answer didn't make me feel satisfied he was positive. He gave me metrogel and clindamycin lotion. I tried the metrogel and lotion together for a few days and then gave up. I started noticing the metrogel on its own was making the skin pinker. The oral antibiotic he gave me was monodox which I believe was helping slightly for the bumps on my face but now in it's second week of use, it doesn't seem to be progressing any further. I have been noticing some small hives and shortness of breath since using it so today the derm told me to stop it's use since I was having that problem and he said it's a shame because it was really helping me. He told me to stop the metrogel too and just use the clindamycin.....so basically the only thing I'm now using to battle rosacea is clindamycin lotion....
And today, a chemical peel I didn't even permit.
What should I do? Is this normal to even be on clindamycin alone for rosacea? Do I need another derm or are chemical peels normal?
