Okay...all of you correctional nurses...I have a question...and a GRIPE! You knew I'd have that in there somewhere, right!? My question...does your facility treat acne and dandruff? Do you prescribe benzoil peroxide and dandruff shampoo for these? We were prescribing benzoil peroxide and it was just absolutely getting out-of-hand. Every inmate in the facility wanted it for one little blemish. I can go along with prescribing something for cystic, scarring acne, but this minor normal acne I say NOWAY! These people are not going to the prom! And we have even had people on doxycycline for it...these were the more severe cases, but I still have a problem with that. I don't feel like they should be on those antibiotics long term. I mean, aren't we setting them up for a super infection. Then the dandruff shampoo...we carry a generic version of Selsun Blue....the same kind they are able to purchase from commissary. They come to medical wanting it claiming the commissary stuff does not work because they do not want to spend their $ on it. And I think it should only be prescribed to those inmates that have like a sebborheic (sp?) dermatitis thing going on that is causing them to have sores or whatever on their scalp...not just a few dandruff flakes...after all, like I said...these people are not going to the prom...this is not a health issue. Dandruff is not detrimental to someone's well being. Do we have an obligation to treat this? I say NO!! I do patient education...increase water intake...shower daily...WASH YOUR FACE!!! :rotfl: Am I wrong?
