Thank you all for the wonderful support and tremendous help! I'm very grateful.
Yes, I did speak to the doctor about my concern about taking antibiotics on my skin. He said "Well, then I can't help you. " He just didn't care and I had other health concerns which he even refused to hear about! I want a diagnosis on my skin condition because I researched it and do not know which kind it is exactly, because there are so many different names of skin conditions that look closely alike. I also wanted to see if I'm eating something that might be the reason for this skin reaction or something i'm doing that might be the cause. But no, he just ignored my concerns.
Also, come on..is it really necessary to know, for example, if my parents are from "Kenya" or "Nigeria"? Come on. They're both from the same ethnic classification. This is only an example. Why can't African be sufficent for an answer when asked where I'm from?
I actually do my research about my health conditions before seing a doctor because, sadly, some do not really help as I can see from this one. I actually asked him if it could be this or that condition, or that I'm concerned that I might be lacking a certain vitamin, but was mainly ignored. When asked, what kind of tests do I need, he just scribbled on the lab form and did not tell me what he is searching for or what tests I will be taking.
I hope this clarifies any questions you had.
