You can contact your insurance and ask them to approve a closer dermatologist. Many times they will do that for you.  Your regular doctor will need to also contact them with a note as to why it's imperative that you are seen by a dermatologist.

A blood test isn't really going to help you much here either to be honest.  Even if you do test + for hsv1 and/or hsv2 - it's not going to explain what the cause of your rash is.  A blood test only tells you what you have, not where you have it.

Good luck figuring out what is going on!

You need to follow up on this with a dermatologist or some other sort of specialist. You are not getting chicken pox or shingles this frequently.
