Went to see my Dermatologist and he got me on to a good Hydro Cort. cream and a Silver Sulfite anti bactrial....WOW in three days I was able to put a shirt on again...and now I only have 2 or 3 hot spots YaaaaHooooo. And the really good news is that I finished my treatments last night. I go back Dec 31 for a PETS Scan and then we see if anything is left.
