What specialist treats Bahcets

[nancyd]

I'm new here. Diagnosed with Bahcet's this year. I am seeing a treatment with a rhuematolgist because when I was in the hospital I was incorrectly diagnosed with lupus. I take colchicine. I like my doctor alot but am I seeing the right specialist.

Hi nancyd,

Yes, you're seeing the right specialist. I actually see multiple specialists.... Rheumatologist, Neurologist, Hemotologist, Cardiologist, Orthopedics, Dermatologist, and my primary. It all depends on what systems are affected & the symptoms you have. Hope you're doing well and feeling better.

Hi yes often rheumatologists deal with Behcet's. I personally moved specialists because of treatment issues and ended up seeing a vasculitis specialist. It made a difference to my care. He is great

If your symptoms are under control and you are feeling ok stay where you are x

Rhuematologist is the first place to go! As SENSE8 was saying, depending on your symptoms with what's affected you may need to see other specialists.

Myself personally I have seen:

Dermatologist: for the pitysporum folliculitis/acne rosacea.

Gastroenterologist: sucrose intolerance/stomach ulcers

Urologist: frequent UTI's

and of course Gyno: genital ulcers/lady bits

They all help deal with parts of one big, annoying problem.

Good luck and feel well!
