Out of Control Skin Growths

Out of Control Skin Growths

I presently have multiple known skin problems.  I wonder if something is running amok with my body -- surely they must be related because they all seem to involve keratin.  These conditions have all been diagnosed by various doctors.  I also have a seemingly unrelated condition but I wonder if all these are related.  They are driving me crazy and I am feeling less and less womanly as these conditions return again and again.  Can someone please help me?

1.  Around my eyes, I have msny, many small unsightly syringomas.
2.  I've had two surgeries for vulvar syringomas, which the surgeon said were benign but quite large.  I am again symptomatic for them and need to return to the oncologist.
3.  I have over three dozen seborrheic keratosis lesions on my back and abdomen.  I am getting more every day and sometimes they itch madly.  I scrape them off when I can do it without causing them to bleed.  They are usually dark gray to light brown in color.
4. I have seborrheic karatosis on my face, but these lesions are translucent.
5. I have lichen sclerosis in the folds of my labia and in the perianal region.

I am 54 years young and would like to date again, but shame prevents me from establishing any close relationships.  I don't smoke and rarely drink.  I can't for the life of me figure out what my body is doing to me and why.  I am starting to feel non-human and definately not feminine.  

Can anyone help me?  Thank you.

Hi

I have lots of seborrheic karatosis as well and the doctor advised me that they were due to my age.  I am also going through menopause which is when they started popping up and I am hoping they stop soon.

Try not to feel embarrassed about them, if you find someone who is caring, they will not judge you and they might have the same problems.  I am in a relationship and had similar issues but the man I am with made me feel at ease and comfortable with myself and as he said we aren't 20 year olds anymore.
