Pleasant to come in even it is traffic downtown
Both the intern and the Dr listened to my concerns, were kind and knowledgeable. I was grateful to hear that I wasn't suffering from a potassium chromate allergy only seborrhea. And all that I needed to heal was an anti-fungal. My life was turned upside down trying to eliminate chromium/follow low chromium diet while my face and neck kept getting worse.
