Hi,  Sorry you didn't get an answer ... our members are volunteers and with the holidays fast-approaching perhaps haven't been on the community as often.

Welcome to our Asthma Community!

Hi-I left my question around the same time as yours-did they take off on us for the holidays?
I'll try and help you-you'd better get a black area checked out=that doesn't sound normal. what i was told was my emergency inhaler was just that-for emergencies only-do you have a nebulizer? I use that instead when i'm short of breathe and only use the other hand-held for an actual emergency or if I'm at work running around and don't have access to the nebulizer. Get one if you don't-i love mine, for me it's a huge help even though you have to just sit there for 10 min or so while you do the treatment.
I think there's a forum for dermatology-try there for your black patch-or google pix to make sure you don't have anything that might be cancerous that needs to be biopsied.
good luck, and I hope you're well.
