Skin Issues?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Worcester, MA

Does anyone else here have constant skin issues? I feel like my skin has never been great-- I have acne (which has dramatically improved with diet changes I'm happy to report!), warts, dry/flaky skin around my eyebrows, I've had shingles... It's so frustrating. Does anyone else deal with these problems? I feel like it's all connected to a weakened immune system, which might be part of why I developed fibro in the first place. Has anyone learned tips or tricks to help it?

Hi guys, I also suffer from very dry skin, acne and also have eczema on my face... I also can't seem to shake 9ff the acne. And it's on my chin mostly had my hormones tested a few times. It's normal and I am using oral contraceptives... So I don't know why... Weakened immune system I suppose...

Sounds similar to what me and my brother have. Its a kind of face Eczema I used KitKat lotion to heal my skin and my brother use other types of skin steroid treatments because we breakout pretty badly in the winter or summer

Yes I have dry skin patches all over the place, and right now I have some sorta rash that is really itchy and flakey skin on it, that breaks open and bleeds ( it is only in certin places). I have been checked for alergies and changed my diet thinking it was glutin but both were negitive. I just went for a skin biopsy 2 weeks ago, still waiting on the results.
