bad news from dermo
Question:
>So if you have any pointers to treatment centres that are OK in the States, I >would be very grateful.
Personally, I don’t have any personal experience with "treatment centers" other than my own dermatologist. I’ve heard of folks having good experiences going to teaching hospitals with outpatient dermatology departments. [...]

Laser treatment: Anybody done it?
Question:
