For many years I had rashes and even stomach pains that no one could figure out. I saw many knowledgeable doctors including allergists and other dermatologists, but no one knew why I was having so many symptoms or could help make them go away. Then I had patch testing with Dr. Scheinman. Although at first I found the results a bit overwhelming, she and her team helped me find out which products and foods were safe for me. Over the following months, my rashes were greatly reduced, and I started feeling much better! Today I have hardly any symptoms, and when I do have them, I can figure out right away what the cause is. I feel so lucky to have been referred to Dr. Scheinman. She made a huge difference in my life.

In Dr. Scheinman’s Own Words

Boston dermatologist Dr. Scheinman“I have always enjoyed solving mysteries. Over the years, I have found it very gratifying to learn from and with my patients. I listen intently to all the clues my patients present with their histories and physical exams. I then use patch testing data from each patient to determine if allergens are contributing to their symptoms and hopefully cure or significantly improve their illnesses. I look forward to partnering with my patients to creatively and, when necessary, thinking outside- the- box, in order to treat them. I bring more than 30 years clinical experience, empathy, hard work and determination to solve each patient’s unique problem.”
