This is red and itchy and has been on my legs for months, but now it's starting to spread all over. It's discoloring my skin underneath, and I don't know what's causing it or how I can get rid of it. A picture is attached.. any advice? I'm going crazy because it's so dry and itchy.. I've been putting coconut oil on it but that hasn't seemed to helpSee More
"Yes, exactly... Everything seems to contradict each other! I'm eating all whole foods.. I'm eating vegan but have also cut out gluten and soy. I've been doing this for the past month and a half, and I think my skin got a…"

My rash is more of a fungal thing, I…"
"I could not open the photos, the program wasn't recognized. Did the derm say anything about ichthyosis? That is a scaly type rash that often occurs on the legs.
Are you familiar with Ayurvedic medicine?

"I had acne my whole adult life until I started using natural progesterone. If I am not using enough, I can tell (for other reasons too) but my skin breaks out. Thats the only thing that worked for me of everything I had tried ( all those…"
acne and rashes
Hi everyone,I am about at my wit's end and would love some opinions. My problem is with my skin, but I actually have two separate issues here (that are probably somehow related.)Acne- I have had acne since I was in middle school, and it turned extremely severe sophomore year of high school. Senior year, I finally went to a dermatologist, who put me on two topical creams and an antibiotic. This cleared up my skin almost completely, and I was on it for a year until I decided that taking this…See More
