At the begining of September of this year I started seeing a Dermatologist who seemed relatively friendly and helpful at first, but what I didn't notice when she took the biopsy of my scalp was that she really didn't seem to know what she was doing. My partner went in with me and when the Dermatologist was putting in stitches she noticed that the Derm. seemed to be kind of unsanitary, first of all she did not shave around the area before hand then she did not clean the area at all before she cut or before she put in the stitches. Then, once we got home, my partner (Krissy) noticed that the Derm. had not bothered to stitch ALL of the open area up, there were open gaps between most of the stitches. We don't have a medical degree but we know enough to know when stitches are not healing right and don't look right.
When the Derm. took the stitches out, the same day she gave me Steroid Injections. By the time I got back home that day my head was already swelling up and hurting. I'm not sure if my Derm. just had an awful bedside manner or if it's just me but the Steroid Injections made me so sick that when I finally got back home I was throwing up. I didn't feel like this until after the shots were given, all seven of them!
I'm curious if anyone else has gotten this sick after these injections were given?
The reason I gave a little information about the Dermatologist is because I ended up getting an abcess in my scalp right on one of the injection sites and I had to go to a different doctor completely to be treated for this.
I'm not sure if the Derm. was doing things right and my body just reacted this way or if she really did just mess up that bad.
I'm scared to go back and see her because she's rather pushy and doesn't even ask or tell me when she's going to do something. (She didn't even tell me or ask me if I wanted the Steroid Injections before she just stuck a needle in my head and said, "Big Stick!")
I also wanted to ask if anyone else has black bruised looking spots where their hair is growing back?
Is this supposed to happen?
I cannot see them because of the location on my scalp that they are on but Krissy has seen them and seems concerned. These spots did not appear until the day after the injections and have been there ever since and they haven't gone away or faded.
Any information will be appreciated and I am sorry that this was a novel!
