| - I have been to Camelback Dermatology about 8 times and they have all been for acne except for the past couple of times. I will keep this short. I have a small cyst on my eye. I wanted to see Dr. Romine (and thought I was) but saw a tech or PA and was given a steroid injection and put on Solodyn to take inflammation down, was suppose to reschedule to have Dr. Romine remove the cyst. So, this is what's happened. I took Solodyn, (it's a horrible medicine) and yes, it has cleared up my face but had caused me to break out in little red dots that didn't itch, it was just ugly. So, I waited a week, still had them and called Camelback Derm. The assistant I explained this too said, no, I'm sure it's not an allergic reaction, I would just keep taking it. So, I kept taking it, two weeks later, I have hives and swelling and joint pain. I called Camelback Derm. to explain I needed to get in. I go in, and was told to stop taking the med. and they instead prescribed me a topical cream for my hives and said go home and just use the cream. What they should have done was given me an oral steroid, not a topical cream!!! So, I get the prescription filled and go home, rub the lotion on and the swelling and hives and pain get worse. I ended up driving myself to the ER the same night (last night) and was given iv fluids and benedryl which did not help. The dr.s there were convinced I had an autoimmune issue and to see a specialist. I went today to my PCP and was told I have had a severe allergic reaction to Solodyn (which contains Tetracycline) and that I have Steven's Johnson Syndrome and dermagraphism. Google it, it's pretty nasty. I was put on oral steroids and have to see a Rheumatologist as I may have developed Rheumatoid Arthritis. How can the dr's diagnose me but a skin specialist like Camelback Dermatology can't! I'm going to call and complain and let them know I shouldn't be charged for my last appointment because they diagnosed me incorrectly and I ended up in the ER. Not happy at all. Yes, everyone there seems friendly, but every time I've gone in, I'm ALWAYS being "sold" on prescriptions and "you should be taking this" or "have you tried this". It's really getting old.
