Bob after 3 weeks of Aldera creme

On Monday, 29 June, Bob had an appointment with the dermatologist, Dr. Cho. By June 26 Bob was complaining mightily about the tenderness his right temple. He was occasionally having blood run down his face from the irritated area. At night he was getting blood on the pillow case. We finally switched to having a dark towel over the pillow case so minimize Magie's chore of washing the pillow case and zip pillow covers every day.

Dr. Cho loved the damage to the right temple of Bob's face (as in - hooray the creme is doing its job). So we can stop putting Aldera on that part and start putting it on the left temple area instead. He also gave us some samples of a gel called Tazorac to add to the Aldera being put on the hand since the hand is not reacting enough to the Aldera alone. Any Aldera left over in the little packet is to go on the left temple area and on the top of his head. We are to continue for 3 weeks (Monday through Friday) with the Aldera and Tazorac and return in 8 weeks. By that time Dr. Cho expects Bob's skin to have recovered from all these treatments. We are to call if there are any problems or questions in the meantime.

Bob's right temple was very tender so he is most happy to not have any more Aldera applied there.
