Hello all... Thank you for the replies.

I did go to the dermatologist before I had my pouch removed and was tested. Dapsone is the drug he wants to put me on and I start it today. Thank goodness. He said it very effective.

I hope so cause it's driving me crazy.

One thing is I have to have weekly blood tests for the first month. And then monthly after that. Liver function tests or something.

He is an older dermatologist and very old school. Follows the rules and would not start me in it until I could be tested on a regular basis.

I am getting blisters on my fingers and I don't even scratch or touch them. Just washing my hands irritates them. Or brushing against them. Same thing on my forearms. Just wearing long sleeved shirts that brush against my forearms irritate it.

I do hope the drug will help.

Richard.
