Hi all,

Eczema is something that runs deep in my family, my dad has a very very mild case, I had quite a severe case until I hit puberty when it just suddenly died, and become much less of a PITA.

My brother though, (12 ATM) has a very very serious condition. Anybody here know if there is a specific doctor in the Lower Mainland that specializes in Atopic Eczema? My parents have tried everything, topical creams from doctor, chinese medicine, all the likes. Our Family doctor never brought up the idea that maybe he should go see a dermatologist - if we ask/request it specifically does he HAVE to let us go see the dermatologist?

Poor little guy has the rashes all over his hands, behind his knees, behind his elbows (the fold in your arm), and to be perfectly honest I don't know how he can resist scratching it so much. He's already being bullied in elementary school because of it, and I can't imagine what it would be like for him next year when he gets into high school...

Suggestions for how we should talk to the family doctor, or anyone know of doctors who specialize in Atopic Eczema?

thanks in Advance!
