    I’m pretty sure it’s a flare of up dishydeotic eczema. I had one on the same fingers about 15 years ago but way worse.

    I know what they’d do is prescribe me some special ointment and it would go away in a week or so and cost less than $50 between the copay and the script.

    But the goddamn fucking hoops they make you jump through just to get a doctor to say “yep, that’s what you think, I’ll send a script” is infuriating.

    Which lets me know they’re doing it on purpose to cut costs by getting people to avoid getting care even if they can.

      If you know the name of that ointment then I’m sure you can find it on a website somewhere.

      I’m lucky, I don’t have to pay for doctors or prescriptions. But if I did then I’d deffo buy ointment off the net rather than wait and wait and wait.

        If it’s available by prescription I don’t think it’s available online. But I might be able to find something similar at Tractor Supply. Their apple-flavored antibiotics work and taste great.

          If you are not bothered about the legality then most things are found online if you go to the correct places…
