Family Physician: This is the very definition of why you need to have a family physician. First going to the er for a skin problem is a big waste of money and time and it does nothing to provide you with follow up care. The relationship with a family physician can be vital for ongoing health. The physician will either change the medications, reassure you, or get you to a surgeon to help.
