Skin Deep

I had my follow-up appointment with the dermatologist yesterday. He had the results from last month's biopsy, and he tried to explain it to me. The only thing I got out of it was "psoriasis." He said it's benign, but could come and go and any time. He didn't know where it came from, but he still believes it's stress-related. He noted how the colour had changed from a red to brown, and said that means it's healing. But really, I could have told you that. The rash is barely visible anymore, and nobody even notices it unless I point it out. The only obvious thing left on my arm is the scar from the biopsy. He wants one more visit in October because he says psoriasis has the tendency to flare up in the fall, for some reason. I guess we'll see.
