How often do you see a dermatologist?
Please select one:
To be diagnosed.
Never seen one just rheumytolagist.
I have never seen a dermatologist, GP offered creams most to no avail. However since being diagnosed with an underactive thyroid and being on meds. my psoriasis is a bit better.
Currently under treatment
When I had a flare last year, I was seen pretty much as often as necessary which was up to twice a month. Once psoriasis was under good control I had the option of being discharged or opting for an appointment in 6 months. I've gone for the 6 months option. Although access was great previously, I only got to see a derm quickly initially due to an appointment under the 2 week rule for possible skin cancer. I wouldn't want to wait for months if things deteriorate again.
Every 4 years
Generally never, the last time for my skin eight to ten years ago
For light treatment possibly as required in excess of six years
