get rid of my dry skin

My appointment is in a couple of weeks. I can’t wait. My regular doctor did give me some stuff that got rid of the spot on my leg. So I’m happy about that. I guess I have to be careful with it, though. It has steroids in it, so I can’t use to much or it will stop working, and it thins out my skin. So hopefully that spot doesn’t come back, so I don’t have to use it again. Mom says it’s important that I be able to use the steroid cream when I need to, so not to overdo it so it won’t work anymore! It’s really too bad, too, because it works really good at helping my skin. But hopefully the dermatologist will help a lot!

I have an appointment for a dermatologist, but it’s not until next month. It’s the soonest they could get me in. Mom took me to our regular doctor yesterday for my rash, and he gave us a steroid cream to put on it, and some more lotion for my skin. The lotion doesn’t help much, but the cream seems to be helping the rash already, so I’m hopeful that it goes away soon. I can’t wait to see the dermatologist. The only thing I’m nervous about is that Mom wants to see if they will do another allergy test. I don’t really like needles, so I’m not looking forward to that. But I do want to do everything to get my skin back in good shape. Mom says this is the worst it’s been since I was 2. (apparently it was REALLY bad when I was little, but the dermatologist and allergist really helped her get it under control!)
I’m just tired of rashes, cracked and itchy skin, peeling hands and feet and everything else. I just want it to be halfway normal again! So I hope this guy is as good as the one she took me to when we lived in VA.

and I hate it. A lot of days it’s not to bad, but with winter approaching, it has gotten worse. And now I have a rash on my leg that won’t go away. My mom is calling the dr. but he never helps with my skin. She’s hoping to get me in to a dermatologist, because last time I saw one, he helped a lot! Keeping my fingers crossed!
