I am a white 54 yr old femaleliving in az, most all my life. I have been smoking about 1/2 pk of cigs. a day, drink around 4 cups of coffee and am addicted to drugs, (10 yrs;mostly meth). poverty stricken. not seen a doctor in that period. (except when I was struck by a post office truck while ridding a bike.had a cut on the forhead a few stiches, some small bones in my wrist and my leg broken....have had no major illnesses ....have been under serious stress do to my living situatuation etc. this is my health problem- for the last 3 1/2 years I have been experiencing a problem with my skin. I have something coming out of my pores...when I sweat, or get stressed,emotional, when I put on lotion or get wet,i have a crawling tickeling sensation and little black, brown ,gritty freckle looking sometimes grainy, sometimes glittery or shiny, along with a web, or strand of fine hailike material, along with a build up of fluid like sweat that got held back . I have also developed some lighter skin areas, small especially around my shoulders and neck. I had a few of these dark circles and bruised looking ares that move whenever I am bathing or stimulating my skin. I also have this stuff in my ears , or rather my skin outside of my ears,, it seems to be absolutely everywhere. alos I get a gathering of fluid and strands of clingy sticky strands around my joints and jawline,shoulder blades, under by bra line waistline, creases of my legs, knees anckels, if I don t attempt to clear it out it buils up and will just pop out and it will make my skin bleed. it is affected by gravity and my body temp. and stimulants, and my menstral cycle and the weather, if it is about to rain this gets worse. It is destroying my self esteem, mentally I feel like I am crazy...no one else seems to see this,they see stuff on my skin that looks just like little freckles...they clear out, change position...this is the weirdest thing ..I feel fine in every way..but my skin feels icky. i hear a crunchy sludgey noise, like pushing crunchy leaves through a pipe in my neck and head. whenever i turn my head it sounds like this i feel movement when this stuff releases, and i feel these strings running through my body. i can scratch my shoulder and fell something tug at my elbow...i am tired of cleaning up things around me that fall off of me. it looks like lent or cat hairs at little bits of black or brown (even blue) often shiny pieces of crap. i have seen the stuff look like a thick black hair and have seen it as long as 5 inches, i have seen silvery superfine strands and dark strands that are in the shape of a u and have two knobs at each end. very small. I have been putting off going to a doctor..i am afraid of being told it s all in my head. i know what i feel hear, and see. i can not tolerate this anymore...i should have gotten help but i need to know a little more about the possibilities and how better to tell this to a doc...so i don t waste anymore time and so i don t sound nuts..ever heard anything like this...help!
