Another Doc, Another Wait...grr!

So for those who know my story...I finally got into a derm and he wants to wait for "fresh" leisions before doing a biposy. So, the wait goes on. 

 

What he said was...yes, he thinks it could be DH by the look of it but based on blood results, it isnt pointing in that direction. I argued with him on this point and said that a neg blood screen does not mean neg celiac. So for now, he gave me a prescription for a really strong cortisone cream to try. I am reluctant, though, after reading some posts her that the steroid will affect a biopsy result...so for now, I am going to see what happens and wait for a new outbreak. The one I have had for almost 6 months is still extremely itchy but doesnt seem to be spreading anymore. Maybe on the tail end of its long long cycle? 

 

Any suggestions as to where to go now??
