How do you get to see a frickin dermatologist?!?!?!?

If you can't get in, don't have insurance, etc. over the counter cortisone cream (actually slightly LESS EFFECTIVE than ointment--Wax, I don't know why you made that comment other than it is a TOTAL MESS to use) is a bit like pissing on a forest fire to try to put it out--doesn't hurt, but not the most effective choice.

StallionRX--I'm a Derm Surgeon, and I still give almost all of my post op patients polysporin, in spite of issues (contact reactions, poor anti-infective, etc.). So I use it as well.
