Stitches Removed

So, I had my stitches removed this morning (yuck such a gross feeling!) and after all of that waiting for the call that was supposed to come in "immediately when they got the results," they just happened to have them when I got there.

Luckily, the nurse was nice enough to leave the room talk to the doc and come back saying "I talked to the doctor and she said it was ok to tell you your results for your biopsy so she didn't have to charge you for an office visit." She went on to tell me that I have Spongiotic Dermatitis, which is basically eczema.

Now you might think, "So basically dry skin?" Well its not just dry skin... it is very uncomfortable and can be painful. I've done some research this morning, and it seems it could be from a number of different things.... so I am lost as to what mine could be from. Allergies (from food or hayfever), could be chronic and hereditary, could be stress... I don't even know how to figure out what it is from.

I am supposed to make an appointment in 2 weeks to see if the lotion and cream they gave me is working. So I suppose I just apply the lotion and cream as prescribed, and find out the answer to all of my questions when I see the doc.
