Dermatology Diagnosis

Yesterday morning, I got up an hour earlier than usual to make it to my 7:30 appointment.  It literally took 15 minutes!  The doctor took one look at the back of my neck and was like, "Yep, that's tinea versicolor."  A common fungal/yeast infection.  He prescribed me a 5-day supply of oral ketoconazole.  I'm also thinking I'll try using apple cider vinegar on the spots if the pills don't clear it up all the way.    

I also asked him about the little red "blood spots" I have in various places.  He said they were normal and called cherry angiomas.  So nothing to worry about!  Now to let my holistic NP know!
