Everyone blaming people letting conditions go because of lack of healthcare, YALL…he went to a derm. They dismissed him. He had access to healthcare and they didn’t biopsy him. The conversation should more be on the fact that we can’t always trust doctors to do the right thing.

My mom was told her whole life she was fat & just needed to lose weight. Actually she had 2 heart conditions since birth that killed her kidneys & I lost her in 2017. My Aunt Ginger was told she had chronic bronchitis for 2 yrs. Actually it was breast cancer that spread like wildfire in her body. She didn't even make it to hospice. & I was told for over 12 yrs my stomach issues were because I was female, depression, anxiety, or my personal favorite "all in my head" actually it was crohn's all along. You're not wrong in your statement. There is no money to be made in a cure. & there's a lot of doctors out there that shouldn't be allowed to be in the healthcare industry

You are so correct. It’s so hard to find a good doctor now days. Thankfully I have been able to find a doctor that is very thorough with everything. Kinda annoying in a way because she knows I hate going to doctors and if I don’t go to my follow ups she cancels my prescriptions until I go see her but I wouldn’t go see her otherwise! So thankful for her.

I suffered from mouth ulcers. A doctor told me it was an autoimmune disease and that it would eventually go away. I waited for 12 years, and almost every day during this time, I had multiple ulcers in my mouth. As soon as one healed, another would pop up. There was a time when I had 32 small ulcers on my tongue, making it the most painful week of my life. I felt emotionally and physically drained. Despite trying various medicines, I decided to take matters into my own hands. I began researching and discovered that wheat sensitivity could be the cause. I stopped eating wheat for a month, and the ulcers stopped appearing. This change significantly improved my quality of life.

Yeah, I had a mystery rash that lasted a whole year. First, got told it was ringworm, but then antifungal medication did nothing, MAYBE made it worse. After that got ruled out, kept getting told that it was "contact dermatitis", by a dermatologist. I stopped using all detergents and only used castile soap, no change. I suffered for a whole year with painful red splotches all over my arms, and torso, as well as getting dirty looks and told to "cover up" because I was "disgusting and dirty", I was wearing sweaters in 90 degree weather and felt so shamed and stressed. Finally went to a GP for something else, he asked when he saw the rash on my collar bone, so I showed him. Finally he told me what it really was: psoriasis. Gave me steroid cream, the horrible rash that I'd suffered through for a YEAR disappeared within two weeks. The stress was so bad it felt like there were steel rods in my shoulders from how tense I held myself without realizing. When the rash finally went away, the tension left my body so quick I was shaking and started sobbing when I looked in the mirror and realized it was going away. Got told by close friends that for that whole year, it was like I was just an outline of myself, and that I "came back" once I had the confirmed diagnosis. Psoriasis sucks, don't get me wrong, but honestly I was just so happy to have a real answer, I didn't care that it was "bad news".

Necrobiosis Lipoidica can be caused by Autoimmune Diseases, like MS and he said he had this too, so there's the link, although it is most commonly associated with Diabetes, and it can be a warning sign of Diabetes Type 2 to develop later on in life, so it would be good for anyone that has NL to have regular blood-tests to check for Diabetes. It can also be associated with Thyroid Disease and Coeliac Disease, and other conditions too. Just a little extra info in case anyone finds this helpful xx

Always complained about pain but didn’t seek medical help even with me nagging him to do so until I had enough of the complaints and booked him into see a doctor.

I was interested to hear that quite a few comments had to do with dermatologists not seeming to take enough time to really look . My husband has a lot of moles especially on his back. I noticed that 3 or 4 of them were growing and had uneven edges. This can often be a sign of a melanoma. He went to a dermatologist to have his whole body checked before he retired. The doctor came in, glanced at his back and said everything was fine. He didn’t check the rest of his body or give any assurances. I’m going to send him to another dermatologist for a second opinion. You have to be proactive with your health. Needless to say, we won’t be going back to the first doctor.

I’ve had NL for almost 30 years. Was diagnosed almost 5 yrs before I became diabetic after the births of my 2 sons. Worst thing I ever did was use steroid cream prescribed by dermatologists. Made them super painful when touched. The spots aren’t really active now after all this time and mainly look like faded scars.
I love Dr. Lee. She’s an awesome doctor. But if NL is associated with diabetes and he is not diabetic, he really needs to get his pancreas checked for pancreatitis. Because if he has pancreatitis, it will turn into cancer if untreated. I am a widow for that reason.

Dr PP acted quickly and got a diagnosis….I would have loved to learn if she is going to be able to do any surgery to help, though seeing his arm after that was cut about with oyster shells after a fall, maybe surgery isn’t an ideal solution. Wonder too if he needs to test again for diabetes…it may have been missed. Lastly, very sorry to hear he also has MS…a rotten deal all round. So wishing him,his warden and son, all the very best for the future, and make the most of each day. Godbless you all. Love Helen 🙋♀️💕in U.K. 😘🎄🎅🙏🎄🎅😻🎄🎅🦉XXXXX

Ignoring something won't make it go away. If it's something serious it's always better find out sooner than later.
Doctor visits are scary after you get a dx like MS, I know personally. I’m glad he received the help he needed.❤
What was the treatment? How about a follow-up on how he's doing now.
Autoimmune diseases are said to be a cause of NL, and he stated that he's been dx with MS.

@@tinahickman6300 Do you know if you are sensible to gluten? People with gluten sensitivity or allergy could develop other cronic diseases including lupus, cancer etc... It is the disease with more symptoms in the history of medicine and it could affect any organ (s) or any system (s) in the body and from head to toe in and out. It’s serious and insidious and should be taken care of ASAP. Once diagnosed it could be controlled with diet and extreme dedication to not consume gluten that is everywhere, from wheat flour to sodas, ice cream, prepared comercial sauces in any type of package, marmalade, TV dinners, canned food, snacks, junk food, cereals, pastries, candy, chocolate etc... if the product doesn’t day: Gluten Free, consider that is contaminated.

I had the exact same experience with a granuloma annulare. Luckily mine did go away and it was the correct diagnosis, but the dermatologist visit was truly less than one minute and still cost me over 100 for the consult.
God bless Dr Lee!. She so professional.
Such a beautiful family ❤
I think what makes this show enjoyable is Dr. Lee. She is a good soul, kind but honest. Able to treat patients like people but also willing to not hold back on that honesty
I had a similar issue saw 3 dems who told me nothing to worry about... 10 yrs later another derm and a biopsy turns out it was basal cell carcinoma. I had to get MOHS due to size and location. Seems that because it was on my ribs/side it was a rare occurrence not a typical location and not deemed a concern by those other Drs. I ended up with a 6 inch scar not pretty but it was benign and that was the most important.

Good to see normal events we all go through.
NL is also associated with RA, rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune disorder. MS, which he IS diagnosed with, is also an autoimmune disorder. So it’s not necessarily a warming sign of diabetes.

Aw it's a shame we don't get to see the treatment recommendation or how he responds to it - NL seems to be pretty difficult to treat so it'd be interesting to see how he gets on.
He is a Bless Man that his Wife and Family are concerned about it because a lot of families just brush it off I'm glad he found out what it was and that can be taken care of hopefully

I had such a thing too, on my left shoulder and it kept growing and growing for about a month. Went to see the pharmacist, they didn’t want to touch it and sent me right to see the doctor, saw the doctor, who looked cluelessly irked and sent me to see a dermatologist. I went to the dermatology emergency and as soon as they saw it they told me « haha I see someone’s been around cats lately » it was a fungus transmitted by my friend’s kitten scratching me a few weeks back while playing. And there my nightmare ended. Thank you dermatologist

Ana, yes. I saw a clear description of this and how it breaks down the layers of skin until it goes through the collagen, then spreads through the whole body. The dermatologist and dr both were emphatic that it wasn't cancer. That article said it wasn't. Until it got through the last barrier. So, I remembered a dr I saw on TV saying how she got rid of cancer by sticking to produce. So that is what I did straight out of the gate. Then I did tons of studying. River, I know exactly how my leg looked and it was exactly like this, with the same diagnosis. Cancer is the result of bad eating habits, along with environmental effects. In that regard you are right about food. A lot of what I went to the doctor about cleared up after he explained about food and studying on it more. I consider myself blessed that it was found early, went away, and never came back.

Cancer is your own cells, your own body, turning on itself. Your body works like a computer, when something is wrong, you will see glitches, like wounds that don't heal and such. What you eat affects your body, and knowing that the tobacco industry is owning the food industry, it starts to make sense, to make your food fresh instead of buying pre made products. Also you gotta figure out what your body responds best to, I thought I had adult acne, but after cutting flour and milk from my diet, the acne cleared up, so what I have found out, is that it wasn't adult acne, but an allergic reaction. I still get reactions, because I have IBS, so my stomach likes something once, then not the next time. Eating salad has helped me tremendously, I weigh the same, but I am no longer bloated, and my waist has shrunken, so the excess fat I had begun to build up around the hip and belly area, disappeared. I have never been a overweight person, but both close friends and family, have been or are struggling with it, so I know just how difficult it is to try to change. I didn't expect what happened to happen, but I am grateful for it. So I can say that changing out what you eat has an impact. (I rather swoop something out, instead of cutting it out, as it makes the transition easier, like I have rice milk, instead of cows milk, I eat salad instead of bread) Just don't follow diets, you need to listen to your own body, what reactions does it have, and you need at least 3 months for changes to be visible. Good luck. ❤️
It is so stressful dealing with an unknown condition, and in general putting off hearing potential “bad news” not only robs a person of their peace of mind but can also deprive them of their best potential for a cure. Medical providers need to do a better job of educating the general public and their patients about seeking treatment as soon as something unusual shows up. But also, as patients, we need to be our own advocates and be persistent in seeking a solid diagnosis and appropriate care.
So happy for them
The only thing I can think of is that somehow his MS, which might be untreated, could have something to do with his condition, rare as it may be. MS can affect people in different ways, and compromise parts of the body that might be unexpected. I hope he can do follow-up examinations and tests where he is to determine what the next best steps are to prevent this condition and/or slow the spread of his MS.
What about treatment? Did he have a glucose tolerance test to actually confirm he doesn’t have diabetes? People can have diabetes for decades and not even realize it until something catastrophic happens.
