Gianotti Crosti???

Well, rashes are found on Kion's body again. This time round, the rashes isnt anything like previously, beginning of this year, where she had been diagnosed with "gianotti crosti".

I first discovered the rashes on wednesday afternoon while I was bathing her, it does really seems 2 b itchy, but there seems 2 be rash on every part of her body. I really dread it when she gets this kind of rash symptoms cos I know that it is not gonna b easy 2 get diagnosed.....

Well, I have my reasons 4 saying so. Last yr dec, after coming back from Taiwan, I realized that Kion developed some rash-like symptoms on her arms & decided 2 bring her 2 her PD. PD diagnosed her with eczema, gave Kelvin & I a shock cos both of us had got no skin issues & eczema, although isnt serious, is a life-long skin problem. We did as being told, avoided certain food into her diet, changed her shower foam & put lots of moisturiser on her.... Yet after 1wk, things wasnt getting better & instead the rashes was spreading even more, 2 Kion's stomach & legs, therefore we went back 2 her PD again. By this time, I strongly insist that her PD refer us 2 a skin specialist, but she refused, saying she was sure that its just eczema & we just have 2 keep moisturising her skin.

Another 1wk passed without seeing any improvements, by then, I was beginning 2 suspect if the PD had diagnose her wrongly & therefore brought Kion 2 a Skin specialist. True enough, Kion was being diagnosed with "gianotti crosti", anyway, no specific treatment is needed & it sometimes takes as long as 6months 2 fully recover although a cream mayb prescribe 4 itch, as it can sometimes get quite itchy.

This time round, I somehow felt that the rashes doesnt looks like those she got previously, so I brought her 2 her GP on wed nite. Btw, I stopped bringing Kion 2 her PD after the mis-diagnosed incident cos I felt really pissed off by the PD's confidence???? Of not wanting 2 refer Kion 2 a skin specialist even after repeated consultation with her seems fruitless....

Yet it turned out 2 b disappointing experience once more.... I registered at the counter, 2 b told that it was a locum on duty that nite so I didnt had much choice but secretly thought 2 myself that this locum may b one of those working in the government hospitals, therefore more experienced. WTH, experience my foot, once seated, I told the dr abt Kion's rash, showed him, asked if likely 2 b "gianotti crosti", even spelled out 4 him & he said he never heard of this b4, what is that???

SHIT!!! me, again asked if it might b eczema, chickenpoxes or whatever??? He just said that its too early 2 tell, n at this point of time, he doesnt knows what it is also =( I'm totally pissed off. How could a dr gives such lame reply??? Anyway, Kion & I went home with a bottle of calamine lotion, which I already have at home, & I told myself that if the rash dont subside, I gonna bring her back 2 the skin specialist on monday.
