Seeking Help for Bizarre Skin Issues and Discomfort
I'm an 18-year-old female facing some perplexing skin problems since February of last year. Initially, I developed a peculiar rash on the left side of my face that persisted until May. During this period, I also experienced episodes of dizziness and overwhelming warmth, which I attributed to anxiety at the time.
After a while, the rash subsided, and my skin appeared to be in good condition. However, a year later, the issues resurfaced. I've once again noticed discomfort on the lower left side of my face, near my cheek and jaw, where I've been feeling a burning sensation. Upon touching it, I again experienced intense heat, dizziness, and significant anxiety.
I consulted with my dermatologist, who examined my skin and reassured me that it looked clear. He couldn't provide an explanation for my symptoms, which left me feeling quite frustrated.
It's confusing that these skin disturbances coincide with overwhelming feelings of dizziness and heat. Last year, the situation escalated to the point where I fainted in public. When I regained consciousness, I was drenched in sweat and alternated between feeling scorching hot and then freezing cold. My mother suggested it might have been due to not eating enough, which could have contributed, but I have a gut feeling there’s more at play.
Additionally, I’ve been experiencing unusual reactions with my eyelids—they become extremely dry, swollen, and painfully irritated out of nowhere.
This whole scenario is bewildering, and it's causing me considerable anxiety. I feel a strong urge to understand what might be happening with my body. If anyone has any insights or advice, I would deeply appreciate it! :)
