Doctor : Hello again Mr. Ricardo.

Ricardo : Hey doc. What did you find in the skin sample?

ask some more questions to make sure?
Ricardo : Of course! Ask away!

Doctor : Do you have this condition in any other places?
Ricardo : Yes. On the back of my knees as well.
Doctor : And do you have any itchiness in your eyes too?

was a different cause.

Doctor : Do your eyelids feel dry too?
Ricardo : Yes.

I get it better?

Doctor : Well, I can prescribe some cream for the condition.
