Hi Sue,
Yes, this is my first appointment with a dermatologist, and I have never seen one before. I have heard from other people, and by some personal experience of my own, that around here it not easy being a new patient too. There were a couple of times where I have been told they were "not accepting new patients at this time" over the years. I can't complain now though, because I did stop the phone calls for about a week until I felt better. A few blisters did eventually come back though, so maybe I did a good thing by waiting a week.
Take care,
James
