What a frustrating experience, sorry you are living it. One more thought..

Is it a big practice that she usually goes to? Some allow walk in appointments....probably not for dermatologist. Or is there a PA or RN in a dermatology office that you can make an appointment with? For a serious case they'll pull in the full MD for diagnosis/help. That is how I finally got relief in my poison ivy crisis.
