Hey guys,
Just looking for people who may have the same type of problems as I have had over the years because I firmly believe they are all connected. When I was 15, I had a corrective surgery for my Pectus Carinatum (deformity to the chest). Once the surgery was done, things really went downhill quick for me. I developed cystic acne and was on accutane for awhile. It is also the first time I realized I had severe palmar & plantar hyperhydrosis. I find it interesting that all things began after my surgery to correct the deformity in my chest. It could be a coincidence, but I know my body very well and believe it is all connected somehow. It has taken me a long time (10 years) to get things figured out. I tried everything for my hyperhydrosis and eventually decided to have ETS surgery at Mayo Clinic. My hands don't sweat anymore but I have compensatory sweating in my trunk, legs and feet. As for my acne, I believe I found the answer there as well. I had tried everything. But, it seems as though Vitamin B5 has really helped eliminate my acne and oily skin.
Anyways, I'm just looking to see if anyone out there has had these three specific traits as I do. I want to see if they believe it is all connected as well. Hyperhidrosis, Acne, Pectus Carinatum and Depression/Anxiety. Please let me know if you have had most or all of these traits. I am very interested in learning about your experience.
