Results day

I had to wait 10 days to get my biopsy back. That is like 4 million years to worriers! I think I prayed 24 hours a day in those 10 days. IT WAS BRUTAL!
    The day finally came!!!!!! Pretty sure I got maybe 3 hours of sleep the night before. This time I took my husband with me to the doctor. We walked in and the doctor took out the stitches while he was proceeding to tell me what the results of the biopsy was. I really felt like it was an episode of Charlie Brown all I heard from the doctor was "Whaaaa Whaaaa Whaaaa Whaaa Whaaaa."  He actually did say I have a very rare kind of scarring alopecia called folliculitis decalvans. He gave me an oral antibiotic and a topical steroid. He said I would have to clear my hair to the scalp then squirt the steroid on the scalp and rub it in kind like WD-40. He gave me to RX for both because he said he knew my insurance company would fight in and the other one I could send in to the the pharmaceutical company.  SO not only do I have to go threw this weird THING on my head but now I have to fight with my insurance company as well! GREAT!!  I had to ask him since it is on such a large part of my head how on earth am I supposed to treat it all. by just squirting and rubbing it in. It would take FOREVER!  The Doctor said it would be a challenge and cutting my hair off would make it a little easier.
