This isn`t strictly a medication question.
I have had a skin condition called folliculitis all my life. However, it`s always been fairly mild. Over the past months (about 8/9), the condition has flared up big-time on my arms.
I`ve done quite a lot of checking around about medication side-effects, and can`t find this condition as listed as a side-effect of any medication. Also, it did not develop as the result of any medication alteration/change.
My theory, therefore, is that it is to do with stress/anxiety/low mood in general. This is also based on a previous experience I had when I was first very ill, when I developed acne, having never had it before (or since).
Has anyone any similar skin problem experiences? I`d really like to hear them, as this is doing my head in.
Dr Bob, if you`re reading this - I hope that you don`t think this an inappropriate posting for the board.
ANY info would be good.
Anna.
