5. How Can You Help Your Doctor Make a Diagnosis?
There are a few steps you can take to help your doctor make a correct diagnosis. Before your appointment, make a list of any symptoms, in addition to the rash and blisters, you’ve experienced. Write down the name of any vitamins, supplements, and medications you’ve been taking.
Show up with a list of questions for your doctor as well. One of the best questions to ask is if there is possibly an alternate cause for your symptoms. Request tests if your doctor does not order any, ask how long the skin changes will last, and inquire about possible side effects of all treatment options.
