Warning: Vent!

I am so damn frustrated with my skin - I have extremely pale rosacea skin with literally dozens of marks, scars and spots. When I was young I got too much sun as I was a lifeguard. Several of my skin marks are probably malign, but my doctor just pooh-poohs my concerns. I want to see a dermatologist. But I need a referral, unless I go to a cosmetic dermatologist and pay (this is Canada but anything "cosmetic" isn't covered).

Today I noticed two new areas of concern, a rough patch on my cheek, and a small indented red slit that almost looks like an open wound.

I know I need to bully my doctor into giving me a referral. I don't mind waiting to see about the cosmetic stuff, but I want the things I'm worried about looked at.

The thing I'm most concerned about is a small bubble on my right eyelid. My family doctor said oh that just looks like a --- (can't remember what she said) that people get sometimes. But I've had this thing for 3 YEARS and it has grown in size. The location is particularly concerning to me. It does not look like a cholesterol deposit or a calcium deposit.
