What is the best kind of doctor to see for ongoing skin problems?
Now, I don't mean a dermatologist... I think mine gave up on me years ago. I'm 27, and have been researching different types of cleansing since I was about 20 in hopes to clear up my skin. I've done liver cleansing, bowels, parasites, fasting, colonics, hypnosis, totally changing my diet, adopting a great workout schedule... and it would seem after all this time I'm getting nowhere. People who know me think I'm the healthiest person alive, but if I were to ever take off my shirt and reveal all the
Acne on my chest, shoulders, and arms, they might think otherwise.
Recently it has started spreading down my forearms, and this is just unacceptable. I know something isn't right, I just don't know how to pinpoint what deficiencies I may have or what I may be eating or putting on my body that could be doing this to myself. So, I'd like to talk to someone that COULD identify what is causing my acne. After reading for years about acne, the only thing that seems definite is that everyone seems to have something that works for them, but works for that person probably won't work for the next person.
So that being said, are there "holistic" doctors out there or something along those lines that could help me identify the root of my skin condition? Maybe a DNA expert? I don't even know where to look, or if "holistic" is the right word. Doctor, sage, wizard, monk... I don't care who they are, I just want to schdule an appointment with someone who can actually help for a change, ya know? Does anyone have any ideas or insight as to who I could seek out to help me... or for that matter, help anyone that can't seem to determine what causes their breakouts?
I just want to see the day where I can finally post a "success" story in a forum... then maybe having
Acne as bad as I do will have all been worth it. Somedays it gets really hard to go out and show my face to the world, but I know I'm not going to get any better hiding in my apartment. Any ideas?
