Hi everyone,
This is my first post. Im at my wits end. Please ignore my username. I was just so desperate to join the forum i just let the computer generate one.
ill get to the point with...ill try to be short.
I have sh**ty skin. Mainly on my back and top of arms/shoulders. I had acne in my teens and early 20s. I am olived skin/tan. I have dark pigment from this. Ive been told so many different things. Ill just call it pigmentation. I have these small raised skin colour or white scars. My skin is course and grainy.Actually they look lighter than my skin colour. I dont wear singlets. I dont go to the beach. Its hot in summer here in sydney. Im embarrassed. I have low self esteem. I dont look in the mirror. I can wear dresses...psychologically its getting worse and worse every year.
ive been to a few skin clinics etc but really only in the last year. I have carried and kept this a secret for 11 years.
Could someone please recommend a specialist clinic/dermatologist in sydney inner west or cbd (but willing to travel)? I finally have the confidence to go seek help and take my top off to a doctor. I would be forever greatful for any suggestions. This means so much to me.
Thank you
