Hey bros,
Been around these forums for a long time but haven't posted in a while and now I couldn't remember my darn log in arrgghhh.
Anyway...
I took some pictures of my arms today because I just can't take this anymore. I have no idea what it is, if it's acne, some irritation. I've been to the derm. plenty of times and I've been given everything from anti biotoics to creams etc. Nothing does a damn thing. The only thing that has any effect what so ever is benzoly peroxide and it's affect is mild at best.
The strange thing is I'm not sure what this stuff is. Something it looks and feels exactly like acne and then sometimes I don't know. It's on both arms and no where else. It all started a couple years back when I had these small white bumps that itched on my arms and then progressed into red and deep red pimples marks (exactly like serve acne). Today it's usually red with small zits that usually don't ever puss up or anything, and sometimes I'll get this really big one on the arm that does.
It seems like it's getting worse and 2 years enough. I've run two cycles of accutane a while back (well before this started) with my doc and it rid me of all my acne. I haven't done a cycle in a while so this isn't from cycling. Getting accutane has become really tough these days so I would be self treating from a source and getting my blood work done every month and checks. (the accutane is in liquid form if that matters). I have some mild chest and face acne too so I'm all for starting a 3rd round of it, but I want to know if accutane will have any effect on my arms.
Does anyone know what this looks like? Does it look or seem like acne of something else?
Thanks a ton in advance guys!
P.S. Sorry for the gross pics guys!
