(In my case, it's Independence Blue Cross) If you do have this insurance, what was covered for you? What was declined? (I'm ramping up for what looks like a lot of plastics, unfortunately.) -Shari

I've had intertrigo for over five years and seen my PCP and a dermatologist for it and been given prescription meds for it as well-- also hydradenitis suppurativa (sores) and have taken graphic photos of every oozing, rashy, painful red mess I have had-- probably 8 different outbreaks in all. By the time I am finished, I hope to have lost closer to 200 pounds-- maybe I will have slightly better luck?
