Please someone point me in the right direction or give me hope. Im 23 and I have major acne. Let me first say I know that my skins behavior is a major sign of my overall health and the last place toxins can leave my body. I know what I put into my body is a big deal and have tried to remedy it that way. We eat mostly organic, natural, free range, no preservatives, no additives, unbleached, whole foods. I'm not perfect but I'm a step ahead of most folks when it comes to nutrition, maybe even two steps!
Why oh why am I still suffering from major acne on my face, neck, chest, and back? It's horrible! I also have the honor of sporting some of the strangest discolored skin anybody has ever seen. It's dark brown and looks at first like dry skin that needs to be exfoliated and then moisturized. But if you rub it off (and it does rub off) it just comes back thicker and darker. It looks like cheetah spots on my abdomen but just like a dark ring around my neck. I've asked two M.D.'s, one dermatologist, and my HB midwife about it. Nobody has a clue what it is but they all agree it isn't fungal. The HB midwife wants me to see a natropath about it, but I'm poor and it's an expensive visit. I'm worried that it's linked to my depression and anxiety, even though I had some expensive tests done just two and a half years ago while experiencing all the same symptoms just to be told all my hormones were within "normal" range and I checked out. There was no explanation for these symptoms and my M.D. just shrugged them off. I also seem to have a hard time loosing weight.
Does anybody have any clue what the heck is wrong with me??? Any suggestions on what I should do. I think I should just bite the bullet and pay to see the natropath even though I have lost hope that nothing will help and I will just waist my hard earned cash. This sucks please write back if anybody has any guesses or ideas of where to start. I've been putting up with these symptoms since I was about 16.
Oh BTW my son was born past 43 weeks gestation by force. It sure sounds like a hormone problem doesn't it? The M.D. said the tests looked great, but that was the days before I did my own research and figured things out. Think I ought to pay to do it again? Poor me! LOL
