Hang in there Plasticat. Iodine very well may not be the path to you overcoming your skin problems but Trysten's story shows that never giving up and refusing to accept defeat means that there is always a way. I really do think that you will find success someday - people live well into their 80's in this day and age and you are still in your 20's. You will find something to heal your skin issues - of that I am convinced.
