You might also have appointments arranged in a timely way that specifically address other factors affecting your condition, such as smoking and weight management. If you have extensive skin involvement, you might consult with a dermatologic surgeon or a plastic surgeon with expertise in the surgical management of this condition.
The ongoing, persistent nature of this condition can be a physical and emotional burden. If you wish, talk with your doctor about a referral to a mental health professional, a dietitian a support group.
