Hi.. For the past two years I have been searching for an answer to some skin discoloration I have under both underarms on my stomach and some on my back. The color of the spots are a grayish with a purple hue flat like my other skin no different texture. My dermatalogist took a biopsy and said it was benign and that I had some sort of photosensitive reaction to something. We ended up being convinced it was a perfume I was wearing that sometimes causes skin reactions. Well, now I have the patches between my legs. Back to the Dermo and she said same thing. It took me 3 months to get into another Dermatalogist and he said wrong diagnosis and mentioned hemochromatosis(going back next week for a follow up) After being on the internet reading about hemochromatosis it could definelty be a possibility. My ethnic background fits the mold. I have been searching for pictures of what people pigment looks like on the net but with no luck. I have seen a few with bronze diabeties which... I guess is the same thing. I am having my iron checked tomorrow. I have no other symptoms. Did anyone else find out about their disease by skin discoloration? Do you have to have a all over skin discoloration? Is it always a bronze color? Thanks. I am a 44 year old caucasian female. |
