notes with Dr. Bitter Sr and one more derm

May 14, 2002

I just went back from two derm appointments.(Bother are quite famous

in my area) I wrote down my notes here if you are interested in.

My first appointment was with Dr. Bitter Sr. The first thing

he did was to put topical Nicnin (hope to spell write) on my face to

induce a flusing. I was told it usually take three minutes to get

flushing. Intesting : up to now which was 4 hours from then, my face

did not get more red or feel anything unusual after he put on it.

He said he did not believe protopic based on his experience. Which is

very consistent with the other derm said. I used protopic for two

nights, it damn hurt and itching. The other derm even said that

protpic and elidel should not be used on rosacea people and not used

to treat sub derm too, it target at eczama(did I spell right?)

Another thing he said after I said I am going to take anti-oxident

supplement was based on the paper published it seemed to be great but

either he or Dr.Nase can not produce this result. On his clinic,

rosacea did not get worse after photofacial treatments, some very

seveve case did not respond well and he have doubt whether it is

rosacea or not.

Anyway, my impression about Dr. Bitter is he is very nice and

patient, his nurse had to knock the door reminding him the next

appointment though mine is short too, I guess that is the problem of

his stuff. I feel he is much more friendly than his stuff. And he is

honest, he said he do not think my case will be very progress

developed,(which I do not know,hope so) and he really do not know he

should suggest me looking for treatment or not ( I think he meant it

to be photofacial), think about if he suggest and highly recommend,

he can earn $2300 at least, so he is not money oriented person as I

can tell.

But I have photofacial treatment booked with him already and I really

want to do it. My first photoderm treatment with him is 16 days from

now, if your guys interested in the procedure,I will get you posted,

otherwise, I will save my typing time and your reading time.

I read lots of nice things about herbs, I still highly believe herbs

can treat the rosacea, but it need very highly skilled and

experienced person,considering myself poisoned by chinese herbs and

took more than one month to recover, I do not want to be the pineer

tester in that field.

good luck to you all.
