Skin & ear problems in Bulimics?
by ready2heal, Oct 15, 2007 08:32PM
I have been Bulimic for almost 20 years now. I have been experiencing many problems due to this. However, for the past 2 years or so, I have been experiencing sore-like acne on my face which are more concentrated around my mouth, chin, and jaw area. I have also had many ear "infections", which I heard was caused by Bulimia. My ears get weepy, crusty, itchy and very sore & red.
I heard that these were not typical ear infections, but caused from repeated vomiting. Could this be the case? I am very scared and need to stop. I have been to counselors, but never stick to it. I just stop going. Aside from my medical question, is there some kind of support I can get online on how to help myself??
