I don't know what to say about the rash doctor. You don't sound too uncomfortable, skin-wise, and the progression appears slow. You haven't mentioned the rash weeping so presumably it is dry? (Weeping can mean infection -no weeping is a good thing.)

Also do me a favor and check your temp. If you have a temp, please keep the appointment and mention the temp. It would be a good idea to keep the appointment if the rash is weepy also.

If your temp is normal and the rash is dry (only sx being redness, bumps, occasional itch), I think it would be ok to postpone the skin doctor. I'd like to see you get in there this week though. Maybe Friday would be an easier day for you?

Yuck about the 20-min hold time with the pdoc's office. In a crisis situation that would not be good, to say the least!

Try to hang in there, Mari. Just do what you can for today. If you need to cancel the appointment do so.
