I woke up at 8:30 this morning because my phone rang. It was the dermatologist FINALLY calling with my biopsy results! I have granuloma annulare , which is what the doctor thought. He gave me a prescription for a steroid topical ointment that should clear it up. Yay! I hope it works, especially because the prescription was $92.00. I have seen 3 doctors before the dermatologist, all who said it was something else. My Ob/Gyn thought it was Lyme Disease and two other general practictioners thought it was ringworm. They were wrong. I knew they were wrong. Anyway, I am glad to finally get it taken care of! So...after I talked to the dermatologist, I worked for an hour.
