Yes! I know about this issue & I agree. I am totally into eating healthy & exercising.Just wanted to say that as someone who works in the health field, and has worked with a dermatologist, from what I've seen it's very often skin issues = digestive issues. One of the problems is that we will treat a skin issue topically, as in "let me put an ointment on it," or take an antibiotic, rather than get to the root cause, which can often be the person is not digesting and absorbing their food properly or has taken too many antibiotics that wiped out their gut flora, which need to be restored. My hub who had lifelong allergies and skin issues from childhood was able to repair his gut and resolve his skin issues as a result of our seeking out docs who understood how to address these issues from that perspective. That is a whole story and I could not say what the resources are where you reside. But I just have to mention this because there are areas of medicine where the knowledge is great, and other areas where the docs are behind the 8 ball unless you find someone who understands that connection. What can then happen is that their attempts to fix it make things worse. If you are able to locate the right kind of gut specialist, it will produce results. This is actually a new cutting edge area of science that researchers at places like Stanford say will totally transform health treatment. If you are interested, please google "microbiome." Hope this helps, and good luck to you and our family!
