Poor Paul. We now get to add a dermatologist to his growing list of doctors. Primary care, cardiologist, low vision specialist, retinal specialist. And now a full body mystery rash that his primary's best guess is a type of pityriasis.

Bethany's been dealing with a mystery rash for about two weeks, now.

Went away with prednisone, only to come back when she finished off the bottle.

Oh, poor kiddo! I hope it resolves soon. Rashes are so aggravating.

While Paul's doctor outright said rashes aren't even close to his strong suit, that it really appears to be a particular type of rash that has no cure, and really the only treatment is the easing of symptoms, it is self limiting---of course, for some forms that limit is 2 years. Hope the dermatologist has better ideas.

So it will hopefully go away on its own in about two years, max? This is new stuff to me. I hope some tricks can be learned to make the waiting-span easier on him.

I'm hoping the dermatologist has better ideas than Dr. Jack does.
