Multiple red dots on body...help!
No problem. Maybe your oncologist in California can suggest someone to see earlier than the end of May.
I just happened to remember an experience I had with you. I had red bumps around my neck and upper right shoulder. I showed it to the doc who couldn't figure it out. The allergist couldn't figure it out. I happened to see something in the drug insert of one of my medications about talking to a pharmacist if I got an unusual reaction to the drug. I called the pharmacist who explained that since I had recently changed from the brand name of the drug to the generic brand it could be that.
The drugs are usually the same in generic brands, but the binders and fillers (usually powders) are different and I might be allergic to the powder in the generic brand. I took the generic brand drug for testing. You guessed it. I was allergic to the kind of powder used as a filler or binder in the drug. Needless to say I asked my doc to change back to the brand name drug. I was fine after that.
