Posted by: Alan in Contact Dermatitis, tags: Doctor, Take, Year
Ive had a rash since 8th grad and im in 11th grad now. The rash goes and comes its mostly on my arms, legs, under arms, neck, and back. Ive ask my mom to take me to the doctor and she did like 1 years ago but the rash comes and goes the Doc said it could be contact dermatitis or something like that. They gave me a cream and it helped a little but the rash went away a little and comes back ive told my mom to ask me to the Doc be she says the appointment is next and weeks and weeks pass and no appointment. Also i have to get a Physical for 11th grad and she says the appointment is next week and again next week and nothing. I dont live with my dad so i can tell him to take me my aunts and uncles only speak spanish so they cant help me.
What can i do is there someone i can contact so i can get those 2 appointment or something the rash is unbearable and i dont want people to see it, and the school will eventually kick the people out who dont get there physicals i need help.
mom dad lives many states away so noway he can help, yeah my moms irresponsible

You sound like me. I have Idiopathic Chronic Urticaria(basically hives constantly with no reason why.) I’ve had them for six years their all over my body too. They hurt so bad, I cry all the time!
Talk to your mom and tell her its urgent. 4 years is too long for someone to live that way.

Tell her you have a problem with your skin and youll get kicked outta school if you don’t take a physical exam, and don’t take no for a answer.

my grand daughter breaks out suddenly then it goes away. we found out it is something that she eats or drinks. you need to be tested for allergies. allergies to something you consume or come into contact with can be a possibility. so,you don’t live with your dad but does that mean he doesn’t have the right to have contact with him? give him a call and tell what you have written here and see if he won’t take you to an appointment. i don’t have a lot of respect for your moms parenting skills and responsibilities

If you have a school nurse tell him or her. If not go to they Physical Ed teacher or s school counselor. Tell someone even if you have to go to the school principal. Good luck to you.

Pester the school nurse about it constantly. She will need to be in touch with your mother & make her take you cause if it’s contagious (pretend you have no idea) she dosn’t have to let you back in school without a note. If your mother continues to not do anything the school nurse would be a mandated reported and report her for neglect.
