NJ specialist?
Hi everyone,
I've been having severe itching for over 12 years. My current OBGYN says I don't have the classic signs of LS. over the past 10 years we have tried multiple kinds of cream and ointment. absolutely, nothing has helped. the itch has always been in the same place, and doesn't move. there are definitely weeks where it is significantly worse and unbearable. the only thing that I have found that has worked for subsiding the itching is a cream that numbs the area (the vagisil itch cream). the problem: after I get out of the shower, I have a very distinct white patch that I can see, but I'm a very pale person and it's not always visible unless the area is damp. over the past year it has gotten significantly worse and the area has gotten a little bigger. because I don't have the classic signs, they have been unwilling to give me a punch biopsy. but I can't live like this anymore. It's affecting so much of my life.
I started looking for a specialist, I made an appointment for New York City but after some extra research a lot of reviews come back negative. some saying that it's a scam. so I'm looking for recommendations. has anyone in the tri-state area of NJ, NY and PA seen a specialist that they liked or felt gave them answers?
