I recently had the exact same experience.

When I actually got my appointment within 30 days, due to calling and advocating for myself politely, I started wondering how much ground medical dermatology has ceded to elective and cosmetic dermatology. I am concerned that dermatology is becoming centered around the personal appearance of affluent people rather than medical need.

Try requesting appointments during December or January. A little birdie told me that appointment cancellations go through the roof at some practices during those months.
