Eczema Case Studies
I have spoken with Ms. Tocco several times this reporting period. She continues to have issues with her severe eczema that covers her body. She said she has been examined by a Beaumont Dermatologist. She reports they are going to put her on a medication that is infused. She had to have approval by her personal insurance and once denied she had to apply for donated medications. S he has been told that until her skin issues have been resolved there is no new treatment that can be tried. She reports she was told this is an auto immune problem made worse by stress and the treating doctors don’t want to try any new medications until this is resolved. At this point, her appointments have been put on hold. She continues to go to physical therapy

    After melanoma has been diagnosed, a skin biopsy will be performed. The area will be excised again to make sure that the cancerous cells have been removed completely. During excision, anesthesia is injected into an area close to the one being operated on. The tumor is then cut out, along with a margin of normal, non-cancerous skin around the lesion. The wound is stitched and a sample of the skin is sent away for research. (Guy) A follow up is required after the excision. Most people prefer baseline total body photography.
