For the past five months or so I have been suffering on and off with a skin problem. I'm 22 years old, and i've never had a problem before, and I am very confused. What started off as what I thought was pityriasis rosea never really ended ended.

I started off with hives all over my body that started to burn. During the hives I also broke out on my back. I noticed the texture of my skin to be changing. I went to the doctors and was prescribed drug after drug. The hives left, but the burning, sweating, and terrible pimples, bumps, and discoloration on my back has not gone away.

Every time I get stressed I feel my body heat up. It's like my blood is boiling itself. Sometimes it can last up to 6 hours long! Its like I have a horrible sunburn, and I never go out to the sun. In fact i've always taken such good care of my skin. I did have acne somewhat on my back when I was a teenager, but never, never, did it burn like this. I've been to dermatologists, and doctors.

The derms seem to this its foliclotis, but all they've prescribed me has not made it go away. I just want to stop burning. I am scared to death of the summer, because last summer my body hated the heat. It's spared my face for the most part, but I feel terrible. I even wash my face in spring water now and i've become obsessive. I just want it to stop interfering with my life! It's like I never know when its going to stir up anymore, and its making me miserable! Has anyone gone through this? It's like i'm going through menopause!!!! Please help me. :(
