Frequency of Dermatologist Visits
As I said in my other post, I struggle with anxiety and OCD.
My dermatologist wants to see me every 3 months as a way to help deal with that anxiety but not more and really doesn’t seem to think I need that often more like 6 months.
But I find tiny little things on my skin all the time and want to rush out to the docs.
How often is too often to visit a doc?
our community understands the anxiety finding a new spot can cause! Having an appointment every 3 months seems like you are being very proactive and would catch anything new very early on which is great. Does your dermatologist office have a patient portal you could use to send pictures if something pops up before your next visit? Your doctor could take a quick look and let you know if an earlier visit would be helpful. Hopefully doing so could ease some of your very understandable anxiety.
