for
five years i've been dealing with this,
doctors treat you like a liar,
dermatologists diagnose barely looking at
you,and not really listening.
This is bazzar but pllleeeaasssee believe
me i've had sebbaceous cysts before I know
what they are but as soon as I mentioned
this to my dermatologist he says I need
accutane, he dosent seem to hear me when I
say this is different! I have bumps and
itchiness under the skin, it started 5 yrs
ago, i've had swelling, it seems if I
don't keep draining(which is not
recommended but to keep me sane I do)
these things it grows and grows. I have
bumps full of hair and fibre that follow a
path from my chin all the way up to my
left eye, the inner layer of my eye has
crossed over about five times I notice
that happens when it is puffed up and I
havent drained it in a while. I know
this is gross please bare with me. I have
white fibre that looks like cotton in
large amounts come out of my face when i'm
just washing or putting foundation on,
long 1" or so ingrown hairs some white
some black, hard white things that look
like bone marrow but can be pulled apart
and really are white fibres really
compacted, for five years it just keeps
coming, I filled up a pill bottle full of
the stuff and taken pictures so I will be
believed. My dermatologist has had me on
all sorts of atibiotics, weak to strong
none have any affect at all, he wants me
to go on accutane because he says its
cystic acne, I can't because I have
bi-polar depression, he just does nitro
sprays on my face once a week and seems to
minimize what I say, ie my inner layer of
eye skin covered my eye again told him he
looked at me and said I suspect you
touched something and touched your eye and
it is irritated, I could of spit at him or
punched him, i've had this for five years
what does he think im stupid!!! My eye
happens to be puffed up and when I put
water and toner on it hairs and fibres
come out so I know its aggrivated by this
growth!! I put drops in and leave it and
it goes away until the next time I dont
drain it for a while. It is spreading---i
suspect it's not acne at all perhaps it's
some sort of bug that got in from my
sebaceous cysts, which are gone now, when
my skin is wet and i'm doing a peroxide
scrub or general face scrup I can actually
see the path its like a big long column or
tape worm! But because you can't see this
all the time(when im in the dermatologist
office) they don't believe me. I'm sick
of it and ready to take a knife to my
face!!!! I dont go to the dermatologist
anymore he upsets me and pushes my moods
in to a bad direction, wich could actually
turn fatal if it snowballs thats part of
the reason I cant handle going in to see
him anymore. In canada to get any tests
done, particularily alberta its like
pulling teeth! Help has anyone ever
heard of this, and why is it growing when
will it end! My only other option now I
can see is to let it grow and go to the
hospital when it's huge, signed I cant
take it anymore. Sorry for the long
message.

One. Good god, use paragraphs if you want
people to actually take their time to read
and give you a reply.
Two. That sounds really serious. If I
were you, i'd go for accutane for those
sabaecious cysts.
Three. About those fibre stuff looking
like cotton. I don't know what that is
without some sort of image. But all I can
say is keep trying different doctors.
Some care, some don't.

Have you tried any natural therapists -
homeopathy or naturopathy come to mind -
there's actually an indian ( as in from
india) homeopath who posts on here
drvenugopal it might be worth sending him
a pm to see what he thinks - if you have
pictures send them too (1 picture is worth
a thousand words) - otherwise though i'd
still seek a natural therapists advice -
they are generally moer inclined to both
listen & to look for answers outside
the "box".
as I said I cannot go on accutane because
of my bi-polar depression it could be
deadlly to me literally and my sebaceaous
cysts are gone its just this path of fibre
type stuff, thanks for your interest and
reply though

I have the same God Damn problem and also
got NOWHERE with dermatology. I've had
more success with my plastic surgeon who
had to remove quite a lot of what he
called "diseased skin" from under my chin.
I had 2 significant surgeries to remove
what I think, from my research, are
dermoid cysts. I take an oral antibiotic
which I think helps, otherwise, like you,
I mostly have to deal with them myself. I
pull the more superficial ones out for
some relief of the itching and swelling
and to stop them from spreading. It has
been HELL dealing with this and if you are
still at this blog I would like to know
how you are doing.
