Doctor doesn't believe me

I sometimes get really sensitive skin, painful to touch, even very lightly. From research it seems to possibly be mechanical allodynia but as it is difficult to monitor/see my doctor doesn't believe me. Anyone else had a similar sort of problem? How did you resolve it?

That is frustrating. Have you talked to a specialist like a dermatologist?

I haven't yet, I've been thinking about it but most of them near me are too expensive or not taking on new patients

That must be really uncomfortable. I am so sorry to hear that. How long have you've been suffering from that?

I'm sorry to hear that. It sounds really uncomfortable. I would see a different dr. I haven't heard of anything like it - but I know that lavender essential oil is good for skin concerns such as burns

Check what you eat, the soap you use and the cream or lotion. There is something your skin is allergic to, even some medicine have side effect. Take care of your skin
