Okay so in the last couple years I have found that my skin doesn't like to heal anymore.
I eat a very healthy diet, mostly vegetables and meat, with carbs in the morning. I also try to take supplements which have all my amino acids / vitamins I need.
I just don't understand why my skin doesn't heal, it does but it doesn't.. I will explain.
I've had stretch marks on my lowerback since I was 12, I still have them now and they have not faded AT ALL in the past 7 years, they're still deep red.
It seems to have gotten worse in the last year or so. Last year I scraped my skin on a brick, it was only a graze -- no blood was drawn but now I have a permanent scar right there, its quite large too. Another 9 months ago something similar happened on my other leg on the shin -- no blood once again just a bad graze, it never scabbed over but now I have a big scar there (it is also indented, as though the skin never built back up)
If I pop a zit anywhere below my neck, and it draws blood then I tend to have a small brown spot left over where ever that was, and it won't go away. (I have one on my abs from 7 months ago, it was just 1 small zit that I only popped a single time and now its just a brown spot, slightly smaller than an eraser head)
Sometimes my skin will scab and other times it will not. Even if I let a scab fully form and leave it for quite awhile, if I pick it off right before it falls off (something I just can't help) then I will get another brown spot. I quite a few of these brown spots on my chest now due to this.
The smallest little scratch seems to not heal sometimes, I've been looking for information on this for awhile.
I think I might have some sort of skin disease if its not healing, if anyone would have any clue what it is I would appreciate it. I've tried going to the dermatologist but they're always too expensive for me and my health plan won't cover it.
