Question: Hello. Good Morning. I wrote 2 lengthy emails to Dr. Prof. XXXXXXX Saha. I am seeking a whole body skin whitening procedure. 50% of the reason I am seeking this procedure is physical or health related. The other 50% is emotional or non-health related. I have dealt very appropriately with the non-health related issues. As for the health related issues, I am seeking WBC or a similar procedure such as laser procedure to destroy the melanoma glands, or what produces color in the body in order to receive adequate dermatological care. IU have repeatedly heard that “ Ï would try the XYZ procedure on you but based on your skin color I am not sure of the outcome to the procedure.” The idea of the total body skin whitening procedure was first introduced to me in 2006, but at that time my only relative (my Father) was still alive and I felt it was disrespectful to change my race/color while he was still alive. He died in 08/2010. Since my father's death I have seen about a dozen doctors trying to obtain this procedure or the knowledge of a doctor's location who performs this procedure and every doctor has acted like it does not exist or that I am crazy. And yet. repeatedly they have locally found the worst people to give the procedure to so that they may obtain better employment then what I can obtain with a 3.98 GPA and a firm moral character. Additionally, Amerigroup, my medical provider has assured me that the procedure does exist and is covered by Amerigroup. All I have to do is find a doctor to do the procedure. And based on my Native XXXXXXX heritage it is covered anywhere in the World! Apparently, the procedure is not done in Las Vegas, NV and I have yet to receive adequate health care in regards to the condition of my skin and the scarring the illness produces. I have been told by one doctor that I saw during extreme flair ups, over the course of 4 years, that I have melasma and melanoma. But yet NO treatment was provided. The melanoma is on my face, back, arms, legs and even feet. But as a Black person it does not appear the same as it does on a whiter or lighter complexion person and is refused to be properly diagnosed and a treatment provided. I am in good physical condition. I was born and am a female. I am college educated. I have no police record. I am a 70% Native XXXXXXX 15% XXXXXXX XXXXXXX and 15% Anglo- Saxon. Dr. XXXXXXX Saha said he could not tell me the location of medical treatment in London, England until I provided him with an address. I live in a city (Las Vegas, NV) where individuals make vacations plans based on planning for procedures. So I now that is illogical. I am seeking to find out doctors or hospitals who perform this procedure in London, England as I would plan a trip to that destination and complete the procedure. If not in London, England the next area I would be interested in pursuing would be the SE, United States - North XXXXXXX XXXXXXX or XXXXXXX My third and final location to have the procedure done would be in Mexico or South XXXXXXX . Could you please provide me the names of locations of about 6 doctors in various locations, so that I have cost options and different locations to compare for the whole body skin whitening procedure?

Sincerely, XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Towns

Thank you Sir. I will follow up in the next few weeks as my last day in Las Vegas, NV is on 2/15/2016.

Dr. Prof. Saha, Your response was very helpful and I have every intention of providing you with a 100% rating on your care, knowledge and conscientious level of expertise. For the immediate, I am waiting for a response back for the doctor's office sense they only had the contact page but no phone numbers. If I have not heard back from them by Friday, 1/29/2016, I may need more or additional references that provide the same medical treatment. I am not an erratic person and therefore I would be hesitant to travel that distance alone without confirmation to their exact location, an appointment date and or whether or not they can help my condition (specially related to me as an individual). The people that have harassed me are the types who would show up to the location, then try to take over the location, then try to prohibit the office to do any further work on “Black” people, demand to overcharge me, as well as getting procedures for free or at a noticeable discount as I would be paying twice as much for the procedure. That is what has happened on several procedures local to Las Vegas. My experience has been that people, (specifically people who have lucrative businesses or practices) agree to abuse me to get them to go away and not bother their staff and clients/patients. I am keeping this information secretive to myself because I was under the impression that although the procedure existed, it was not fully legal (patent pending) in the US and therefore I would need to travel to another country that is more liberal and or progressive in medical procedures. Just this morning a confidant told me the name of a clinic in South XXXXXXX I am not confident I would chose to travel to South Africa! If you have a phone number for the information you provided I would greatly appreciate that phone number. Then I could simply call and make an appointment.
Sincerely, XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Towns
