(END OF REPORT)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
My problem is that just 10 days after the biopsy, my skin was completely normal and it was healed -without use of any medicine-. All I did was stop scratching the area. But the biopsy report says the diagnosis " include psoriasis and early mycosis", as far as I know "mycosis" is some kind of skin (or skin-related?) cancer.
I'm a little confused since my skin went back to normal when I stopped scratching it, without any treatments and on the other hand biopsy report talks about "psoriasis and early mycosis" AND after 3 months my doctor still keeps giving me different medicine every two weeks. I can't trust him because he doesn't answer ANY of my questions.
It has been 3 months since my skin is completely back to normal and again, he gave me another medicine, CO-TRIMOXAZOLE 480 mg, 2 times a day, for one month. Why should I take antibiotics, for one month, when my skin is normal?
So in short words, what is your opinion about my situation?
