Please Help, I really need support quick!!
Please read and help. My name is Erik I am 37 years old. About 2 years ago I took a accutane at 20mg for about 3 months for folliculitus on the back of my head. I only took 20mg per day. It work well. I stopped because my hair and eyebrows were falling out. Over the last 2 years I have lost over 50 percent of my eyebrows and hair. I have developed a red face and neck with oily skin on my scalp and face. I have a thick layer of sebum on my scalp and especially my eyebrows. I have gone to countless derms taken every steroid cream, shampoo, you name it I have taking it. Nothing helps I have a burning itching senssation that stays with my 24 hours a day. My eyes are ithcy and dry and skin around my face is so tight I cant laugh because it hurts. I loose at least 10 eyebrows per day along with hundreds of hairs. I have gone to endos, derms, ect. I do not look at my face anymore because I become obsessed with the loose hair and dead skin the is under my eyebrows and scalp. I shaved my head with a clipper to try to control the problem. I dont swim, want to be social, or enjoy anypoint of my life. I am at the point of no return. I cannot deal with this burning and itching anymore. I am an educated, employed, new father that loves his family very much. I have seen a shrink and they feel that my mental problems are induced by my physical ones. During my search for my solutions they have found some borderline problems with my kidneys, nothing that would cause my current issues. No one can seem to help me and know one seems to care. I feel my family would be better off without me because I take my anger and frustration out at home. I know longer work out, because the sweating is painful, and intern I am loosing another part of my physical appearance. I know this is a very vain way to portray my life. This constant pain physically and emotionally has me right on the edge of doing something stupid. Such a small problem is going to end me. I beleive accutane somehow changed my skin even thought it was such a small amount for a short time. No doctors want to confirm this. I beleive accutane could be the only thing that could save me but the docs will not agree with me. Please I beg you help me with something new. I just started b5 to try to help the oil production. I cannot go on much longer. Any help would be appreciated. Please dont downgrade this evil I am going through. The constant irritaiton is much like I would imagine waterboarding would feel like. Maybe an extreme analogy but I cannot compare this to anything else. HELP
