"Rashes have many different causes and often need a trained skin specialist to help determine the cause and come up with the appropriate treatment plan. Rashes can be caused by abnormal skin cell metabolism or autoimmune diseases such as eczema, psoriasis, lupus erythema or by infections in the case of bacterial, viral and fungal – these all need proper diagnosis for effective therapy. There are allergic rashes that are caused by your immune response such as contact dermatitis, insect bites, drug eruptions and plant dermatitis. These rashes are often intensely itchy and must be differentiated and treated as well as the cause determined.

Our Providers Yvonne Chesna FNP-C, Michelle Winsor FNP-C, DCNP, and Beth Stewart FNP-Care trained to examine, diagnose and treat rashes. If you have a rash, call and make an appointment and let us help you!"

Contact dermatitis and plant dermatitis are two different things? I thought plant dermatitis is a category of contact dermatitis?
Lupus erythema is a new diagnosis I haven't heard about.

America is actively dumbing down. Idiocracy was prophetic. We already have a president that was on WWF wrestling, now we just need to start watering our plants with Gatorade. And god help the poor soul with lupus or mycosis fungoides that sees any of those clowns at their make believe derm practice.

Seems like the end result of a slippery slope that started long ago...

Elephant in the room of dermatology

I have become increasingly dismayed by reports of dermatologists who allow their nurse practitioners and physician assistants to practice independently.

Greedy [boomer] derms selling out the specialty for a quick buck. Pretty hard to put the genie back in the bottle.

I can't stand these bios. Being a crotchety, AVERAGE competence L&D nurse for 15 years, hell even 200 years, add exactly zero to you being able to function as the primary doctor/provider/whatever in dermatology.

You've never heard of lupus erythema? It's redness of the skin in the shape of a wolf.

If only you went to nurse practitioner school, you would have known better.

seems a bit of a reach. Step could be good but they spent a number of years in research.
