I have learned so much. i even upgraded to a paid membership so I can upload photos of my skin, which I have done.

I am experiencing the same thing, except I didn't even get a biopsy! My dermatologist's nurse practitioner tells me more than the doctor, but I get most of my info from this site and ChatGPT. ChatGPT is fabulous, especially since my case is confusing. I have a dermatologist appt. next week...there is nothing more he can tell me about my skin that I don't already know...actually, he never tells me much at all. I'm going because it is an incentive for me to continue the self-care and non-scratching/picking/rubbing so he will see a little healing every time I go, and also because it's good to have a supply of topical creams on hand. I use very little.

To Georgiafowles2 question about nonspecific biopsies. My dermatologist says it´s rather common. I have had 3 nonspecific biopsies, meaning they are not specific for PN, but they do not rule out PN either. It´s the whole clinical picture, including makroscopic skin inspection, symptoms, biopsies, development, other concomitant diseases, heritage that together helps the dermatoly-team (preferably also reumatologist, immunologist, gastroenterologist, hematologist, pathologist, photopresentation). It´s so easy these days to have multidisciplinary boards due to computerized meetings. I feel it´s underused.

I use dupixent I'm better

I have an upgraded membership which allows me to post photos on the AI app I use.
