She also exhibits sickle cell anemia traits which can be directly attributable
to her Mother (she has it).
There's no doubt gene pools (ethnicity) have certain predilictions. You
describe your problem as skin related. There are way less studies of non
white skin problems, so giving up all your info is highly suggested.
By the by, this Doc sounds like a jerk.
Where I live in Canada, it's estimated to take 2 years to find a family
(i.e. primary care giver) doctor. I got lucky and found one through a
friend. I don't particularly like him, but I'm staying with him anyway.
Now I have to be VERY proactive in my approach. I write questions
beforehand, do research, and visualize how I want the exam to go.
Just my view on it.
