A new skin condition or something? like maybe i should be in a lab?

i got this wierd skin condition ive had since i was born its almost similar to psoriasis or eczema but its not either of those for sure and its kind of like my skin slowly dries out turns red cracks and then bleeds in spots all over me and mostly on my arms and legs but also on my head and neck recently. Ive looked forever and never found anything that matches it. Until now ive treated it with moisturizing lotions but that doesnt really help that much.


Is there some kind of place i can go to where someone can tell me what the hell is wrong with my skin??? ive been to several dermatologists and theyre all like well umm i dont really know. I need to go to like a lab or soemthing and get studied for the sake of science.

Sweetie, just go to a doc. I mean they dont got to school for nothing! Even if they cant give you a definite answer, maybe they can help treat it?!!?





take care!!
Reply:Sounds like you need to go to a reputable dermatologist.
Reply:If you live near a large teaching hospital with a skin clinic I would try there. Good luck
Reply:I am so sorry you are dealing with this. Just because someone has a medical degree, it doesn't mean they know everything. If they have never, ever seen it or been told about it, how would they know? I have a suggestion. Ask to be checked for toxic shock syndrome. I don't care if you are male or female, if you ever used tampons or not (the typical culprit), you can get toxic shock syndrome. Our psoriasis group had an individual who was told she had psoriasis and was being treated with two very strong treatments. Her skin looked like the worst sunburn ever: purple, shiny, skin tight, and the skin on her hands and feet peeled so bad she couldn't even walk after a while, and she bled and had pus drainage. Now, don't allow this to scare you, because she went years dealing with this. She ended up in the hospital, couldn't keep food in her, had to be knocked out with pain pills because it was so bad, and she did die. Once they did an autopsy, they found toxic shock syndrome. No one suspected that at all. So, that is why I think you should suggest it.





One other suggestion if that doesn't get you anywhere: consider seeing a holistic physician, a MD who treats the whole body, including considering your vitamin and mineral levels and whether you might be sensitive to wheat or have a systemic yeast problem. Most general practitioners don't check for systemic yeast. That is something else you might suggest.





A lot of universities and major hospitals have dermatology departments and conduct research. I did a google search on "dermatology research" and came up with a lot. Without knowing where you live, I wouldn't know where to suggest you call and ask for help. Perhaps using google will get you there.





I wish the best for you
