Well the day came I was going to the Dermatologist. I took my mom with me because in my eyes she is a medical expert. She knew how to get the real questions answered and I knew in order to prove to my self that my doctor was COMPLETELY off his rocker in this diagnosis my mother could do it. Besides things like this don't happen to ME!
The doctor walks in looks at my head and says "ooo you do have some kind of scarring alopecia." Wait what?! Its just a "thing" but if I have to have Alopecia its SCARRING too! Scarring= permanent ugly SCARS like the ones on my knees from when I was a kid. WAIT WHAT! All I wanted to tell him was umm excuse me you must have the wrong person I dont get stuff like this.
The dermatologist then proceeded to tell me we would take a biopsy as soon as his nurse got back. HUH Biopsy= a chunk of removed....FROM MY HEAD!!! I didnt even have time to mentally prepare! You see the bad thing about "City Doctors" they do things on a much faster pace. But I had no idea it was this fast!! He sat me down on a tiny stool and numbed my scalp and began to cut away my hair!!! YES just met this man 3 minutes ago and he is already cutting my hair!!I felt almost violated like our patient doctor relationship was moving a bit to fast. I mean could he not bring me a coke and some chocolate make me feel atleast a LITTLE better before cutting my hair and slicing my head open? After cutting my hair he as my mom put it "he took a cookie cutter thing to you head and just pressed down then out came some scalp!" Great mental image from that one right! The doctor starts giving me stitches and decides to tell me it should be only one MAYBE two stitches. Yea ended up being four and he said "I couldnt get it all the way closed so be careful but you can wash your hair normally." I don't know about other women but when I was my hair I scrub my scalp with my finger tips. How am I supposed to do that with a gaping hole in my head? UHHHGGG I was just gonna have to figure it out and decided to tell my self that he probably didn't know what he was talking about either and I would get the biopsy report back a WA-LA it will be just dry weird skin and the doctor will say here is some special shampoo and Ill be on my way.
