Over the past 12 months, I have experienced the most medical issues in my entire life. Last year, I became very ill and stayed sick for about 5 months ( fever, thrush, chest pain, sore bones, swollen lymph). Because my WBC count was low, I was referred to various specialist to test for cancer and TONS of other things.
Now prior to this, I had started noticing subtle changes in my skin. My skin was extremely dry and bruised/mark very easily. For example, I would bump into the wall (or get a pimple) and notice a mark that would remain for several months versus several weeks. Since, I'm still relatively young, I thought that this was extremely strange. Now things have GOT even stranger. Throughout my short illness, I stopped working out completely. However recently, I started working out again and noticed that anytime I would work out, I would develop small pitted scars on my face. These pitted scars started occurring one-by-one. As of today, I have a total of 8 pitted scars on my face and counting ,which all occurred spontaneously in less then a month. Not to sound vain at all, but prior to this illness, I actually had a few modeling gigs (I've literally gone from really good looking to not-so in a course of 12months).
Consequently, I am completely demoralized and out of answers. The doctors I've come across seem puzzled or unconcerned. ANYONE OUT THERE WITH ANY INSIGHT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL. I SIMPLY WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH ME. I"M AFRAID TO WORKOUT AGAIN BECAUSE ANYTIME I SWEAT MY SKIN TEARS AND FACE SCAR UP SOME MORE.
A few notes:
I took accutane in 2006
My legs are still sore.
