Has anyone been to a functional medicine practitioner vs dermatologist?

You are correct in that the last month presented me with some setbacks. I have already spent a small fortune on dermatologists, steroid creams, steroid scalp oils and shampoos not covered by insurance, emergency room visits, prescribed medications along with every over the counter lotion, cream, soap or body wash that looked like it might give me relief and hasn't. Not to mention vitamins, colon hydrotherapy and the alcohol to deal with the stress of it all!! The special makeup that promises to cover and doesn't, clothing to cover my arms and legs in the summer, tanning and goodness knows what else. I've lost count. Good advice Jim.

Sorry if I appeared flippant Kelly the only thing I want is a treatment that will work for you. I know it's very hard and I don't blame you for trying the alternative route. I guess in a clumsy sort of way I was saying be careful, there isn't a quick fix but don't get conned out of loads of money
