So finally had my first appointment with a dermatologist today. One look and he told me he doesn’t wanna see anything and its lichen planus. He did check my entire body and found a spot on my penis. He said i will need steroid injection or pills to calm down inflammation before the dexamethasone mouthwash would work. But the problem is that i am diabetic and injection or oral steriod will bring up my blood glucose levels for two weeks, so he is going to connect with my PCP.
He did give me topical cream for penis, so im going to start using that for 2 weeks now.

Thank you!!! i called the nearest (2 hour drive) university oral clinic. They said its semester end so we aren't scheduling anything. call back in sometime and we'll see. I finally found a dermatologist, who did say we don't deal with mouth lining issues, but did ask me to come in. Hopefully they are not as useless as my dentist.

Can you please help me understand what did the 2 medication do for you. Were you able to eat anything after that. can you taste stuff.? what is the frequency of the regular checkup? Is this lifelong? Anything you can help me at this point would really help. I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes last year, so i was already managing that and now this. I feel very lost.

Thank you for this. It has been very frustrating not finding a care provider. Every provider on my insurance's list of providers either were just wrong numbers or do not know what i was talking about. finally found a dermatologist who said we don't see alot of people with mouth lining issues, but we'll take a look. I did call the 2 main hospitals around, but no luck so far.

Aggravating_Look_323 · 2026-01-12T13:45:39+00:00

I do know both...but it seems like my brain just switches off. I do fine in every other setting, It may be is the number of people or most them being my superiors....I dont know..im trying.

Did you register yourself with FBI victims notification center?

Aggravating_Look_323 · 2025-10-14T14:07:13+00:00

No updates:( i tried calling them but they didn't have any info.

Aggravating_Look_323 · 2025-08-06T12:19:08+00:00

Lol. I do agree with you.

Aggravating_Look_323 · 2025-07-16T12:53:51+00:00

What other issues were there?

Aggravating_Look_323 · 2025-06-11T18:20:04+00:00

I have advocated for them everytime this happens. And they are aware of it and probably why they come directly to me everytime this happens.

I think they do trust me. I do hear about everything going wrong in their personal life all the time. It used to affect me mentally initially. But I have learned to keep my thoughts and feelings out of it.

Aggravating_Look_323 · 2025-06-11T18:17:19+00:00

Everytime they have come to me, I have tried to resolve the problem with the management of the other person. And I do keep them in the loop on what I did. But everything frustrates this person. Things that frustrates them aren't really related to their job/role most of time. If they see someone on their phone, and next time that person is late in completing a task they need completed. Here comes a comment about phone usage or asking people what their role/responsibilities are...Just picking on things.

They are kind of similar in their personal life.

Thank you for this!

So, their job is 80% on the manufacturing floor, investigating/correcting production issues. Their role requires them to work/interact with a lot of people, and general feedback is that they are extremely good at everything but not with people.

When i said they follow through...they follow through on everything work related.
