I don’t want to write about my hand dermatitis.

I don’t like the term.

Just be normal.

I don’t want to go to the doctor or the pharmacy.

I don’t want to take any pills, creams, antibiotics, narcotics or any medicine.

I don’t want to be treated like a criminal or a drug addict.

I don’t want to sit around and wait for appointments and refills and be questioned over and over.

I don’t want to have to show my ID to the same person every time I fill a narcotic prescription.

I don’t want to spend my money on co-pays, tape, creams, gloves, and other stupid medically-related items.

I hate it when people say, “Are your hands cold?” every time I wear gloves, or “Have you tried bag-balm?”

I’ve had this for years and never thought to try an ointment!

WTF!
