My hogwan hasn't given me my medical insurance. It sucks. Anyways, I need to talk to a doctor. I been getting these bumps on my skin (like mosquito bites) and it's getting worse. I need to find someone that can talk English and isn't too expensive. I would also prefer one that lives close to Incheon.

Also, what do you think. Should I demand my medical right away and wait or just go to a doctor right away. I had these bumps for about a week but they are multiplying and getting itchy.

Are you kidding? Medical advice from the people on Daves? Why would you not go see a doctor if you feel it's necessary?

If your hakwon hasn't signed you up for NHIC, I believe they are breaking a number of laws. When you get back from the doctor, you'll want to address that immediately.

You never said where you live/work. It is impossible to help you from the information provided.

Do you get them after you wake up? wash the sheets, clean the room. I get those occasionally in the summer, sometimes little buggers sneak in, but it generally calms down in the winter.

You may just need to remind your school about the Health Insurance. There is bound to be a clause in your contract about it. They pay half, you pay half, that sort of thing.
If you keep any receipts from paying doctors before your health insurance comes through then you can get a refund later. Someone at your school will be able to help you with that.
Where do you live? Then people can recommend good doctors to go to.
