Hi,
I have the name of an LLMD that I think I'm going to see long term. Are there any Drs. in the Philly area who can dx an em rash that I can get in to see quickly? My GP says it's cellulitis.
Thanks,
Jody

Cellulitis requires antibiotics, so at least that part works in your favor.

I see you are a returning member, so I'm sure you already know to take lots of pictures of your rash, some close up and some farther away with your face in the picture.

I hope you find someone who can see you immediately....maybe a walk-in clinic somewhere, if all else fails.

I sent you a private message with a suggestion of a LLMD to try.
