Re: Anetoderma, anyone?

I e-mailed you a few weeks about my son. I thought I should put this out there instead of e-mailing you directly in case anyone else is going through this. We went to NYU Skin and Cancer center on Tuesday. I had a biopsy report from last dermo doctor that said he had anetoderma. Remember I told you this doctor told my son that there is no cure and that you are young and to just get on with you life. Yeah I really listened to this guy. Well the doctors at NYU are not sure if it is anetoderma (anetoderma, morphea or lichen sclerosus et atrophicus (LSA),but what a difference dealing with doctors experienced in skin diseases, and not some Botox pushing dermotologist. The doctors at NYU are terrific they took 3 biopsies, one of an older lesion, one newer one, and one of normal skin, they started him on Doxycycline Hyclate and they also did blood work and took photo's. No other doctor ever took blood work, or gave him Antibiotics or anything, and I went to two different dermotologists. When I go back in three weeks we will see the top doctor in connective tissue diseases. I should have an answer then. If you live in or near NYC it would be worth it to go to NYU. elba Tweet
