Scars!! Help!
Posted: 11-21-07 00:44am

Well I have a loott of little white bumpy (just a bit bumpy) spots in my upper arms, shoulders, chest and back. I used to get a lot of acne there, I still do, but not as much and I'm more careful with it. I used to scratch it a lot, so my skin in those parts doesn't look too good. Well I went to a dermatologist, and I asked her what the white spots were, I didn't know they were scars.. but she said they were keloidal scars. The thing is, when I googled keloids, everything I read said they were red or pink at least. Mine are not pink, they're whitish, lighter than my skin color.. So does anyone have any idea what it is?? Thank you.

I've heard that this can possibly be an overgrowth of candida albicans, which is a systemic yeast. Trying cutting out all sugars (breads, rices, sugar) and see what happens.
