Skin issues?

Has anyone had any skin issues? If so what are they like? I have cystic like acne and it has been going on for awhile. It first showed up in my armpits and then it moved to my butt. It now seems like it is spreading down to my thighs. It is very painful for me to walk and sit. I can’t sleep because of the pain and it is very hard to get comfortable. Please if anyone has any advise or answers please let me know.

So sorry to hear you are going through this. I have had cystic acne on my jawline and have folliculitis/ingrown hairs and irritation on armpits and areas I shave or wax. I also have sensitive skin and have Colitis.

Might be worth seeing a dermatologist as they can give you specific treatments for you and help you manage it. You may be able to get a referral through your Doctor.

Try not to use any perfumed products or wear tight clothing as this may irritate your skin further.
