Maybe a biopsy: Some skin conditions are not only difficult to treat but also to diagnose. If you have not had improvement perhaps it is time for the dermatologist you are seeing to perform a skin biopsy. This is a simple and quick procedure to get a sample of skin for analysis. Often the results can improve the diagnostic accuracy and treatment approach. Good luck!
