Need a dermatologist asap please

Since October I have been having severe dry, red, itchy eyes. Its not actually the eye, its the eye lid and under my eye. Its just getting worse. When I use my makeup remover to take off my masacra it feels like I have a million cuts on my eye and I'm pouring alcohol over it. Does anyone have a dermatologist that they can recommend. I would like to get in asap. I have called around and the wait is insane! Thanks

Re: Need a dermatologist asap please

  • We go to Dermatology Professionals in East Greenwich.  Both DH and Benjamin go, and they have been great!  DH saw a nurse practioner (I think thats what she was?) to have a mole removed, and Ben see Dr. Kathleen Cordova.   I think they had a big wait list, but if you don't need to see any of the actual Dr's you may get in earlier?
  • no recommendations - but i was just reading about how there is a shortage of dermatologists in the nation.  I believe the average wait to see one in RI was about 30 or 50 days - in boston it was 75!!!!

     

  • I think everywhere you'll have to wait. Could you see your GP?

    or just stop wearing mascara for a few days/weeks until they heal at least a little

  • I see Dana Hall in Johnston.
  • could it be your makeup causing the problem? Idk if you know this but I read one time that you should change your mascara and other eye makeup every 3 months or so, because bacteria that live on your eyelashes, etc get transferred to the brush and then to the bottle, and multiply in the bottle...(gross, I know) but I just wanted to throw that out there in case this might be an easy solution to your eye issues.  As far as dermatologists go, try calling Dr. Dana Hall, 351-0515.  She's on Atwood Ave, in Johnston, and I got right in with her as a new patient when I called.  
  • Have you tried calling your eye doctor and asking them if they can see you for the issue?  worth a shot.  dermatologists are awful to get in to.

  • I agree with trying your eye doctor first. I've been to Rhode Island Dermatology in Lincoln (401) 475-9140. Good Luck!

    My mom sees Dr. Saap at University Dermatology in Cranston.  944-4300.  She (and my husband too) has also seen Dr. Pedvis in the East Greenwich office.
