Q: I have this weird rash on which started me picking a tiny bubble on my middle finger. Then it got dry and some more tiny bubbles came and spread to my other fingers. I think it's Ezema or Psiasis or whatever they are called. I'm going to the dermatoligist and I need to know something...

Do you have to bring a physical?
Do you take one there? Like height and weight?
Do they draw blood?
I have a pretty sucky insurance it's Kaiser so I'm going there so anyone who has them too and went to the Dermatoligist there please help.
you dont have to bring a phusical and they dont make you take one , they may ask for height and weight but they probably wont measure you , you'll just tell them , they will ask for medical history and the name of your primary care Dr. sometimes in certain cases they draw blood but I highly doubt they will in yours because they're looking at a rash . I don't know anything about your insurance. but FYI the bubble on your finger was probably a wart and when you picked it the bacteria spread and caused other warts to apear. Ezema and Psoriasis almost never just form on their own out of nowhere. they are usually genetic and people who have it usually have it from the time they were born. I have also never hear of ezema or Psoriasis forming on a finger and if either of the skin conditions did it would probably be in an extreme ongoing case. ezema is normaly found on the legs or upper arms. Psoriasis is usually found on the elbows or knees .

thanks, however i do have an friend who has psoriasis on her fingers and looks just like what i'm getting.
