Went to Dr. Schumann for a dry patchy lesion on my leg and to get a refill on psoriasis medicine. He looked at my leg and could not determine what the lesion was, so he gave me some steroid cream. The treatment worked and the lesion disappeared within days.
When he asked to see the psoriasis, I told him it was located near my rear and I would have to partially disrobe to show it to him. He informed me that psoriasis cannot appear on that area and it must be something else. This seemed peculiar to me. The dermatologist that diagnosed me with psoriasis years ago showed me a medical journal with an actual photo of another person who had it in the exact same spot. Hmmmm... I asked him if he would examine the area just to make sure I hadn't been misdiagnosed. He refused to examine it and had his assistant along with one of his wife's dental assistants (his wife is a dentist in the same office building) come to look at the psoriasis. It was entirely unprofessional and I was quite appalled. I've been to many Doctors over the years to have my prescription refilled. They all examined the area THEMSELVES and had no problems doing so. Moreover, they all have confirmed that diagnosis of psoriasis.
Maybe you will have better luck with this dermatologist, but I on the other had will steer clear!
