I have had eczema ever since i was an infant (my mother said that she also had it although she grew out of it) and lately i have had such rashes like foliculitis, a yeast infection, and a noticeable loss in hair. I am only 18 years old and would really like to know if this is all because of some allergy or through some sort of sensitive skin condition. Also developed over the past year or two i have developed an allergy similar to conjunctivitis where if I wear my contact for two long the mucus builds up and causes red bumps under my top eyelids. If you an help with an explanation of any of this it would be much appreciated.
Thanks
I apologize, but your description simply doesn't call to mind any specific diseases. Even silicone implants turned out, after large-scale testing, not to cause systemic problems, so it seems hardly likely that implants with saline, a natural substance, would poison the system. This could be a form of eczema, though that's just a guess. That's just my best guess. If so, her condition may not be able to be permanently cured, but it certainly can be made far more comfortable than it seems to be. Perhaps a trip to the city, to an academic medical center might be worthwhile.
Good luck.
