KP makes my arm brown, and people scream

recently i realize that i don't have many bumps on my
arms .however,what i concern most is the colour of my skin.

last week i went to donate blood. however the nurse rejected my application because of my skin health. when they saw my arm, they crowned around me and screamed. they throught i have some medical problems and do not suitable for donating blood.

it is completely brown and slightly redness, which is horrible and looks unhealthy. it makes a great contrast to my skin which is white. people are looking at my arms whenever i wear my sleeveless.

again, my life is over as summer i approaching

MLIO,

The nurses at the blood clinic could have been more understanding and tactful. Please don't think that your life is over. There is so much more to experience, as you will learn as you get older.

I urge you to see a dermatologist. There may be an explanation and treatment for your skin color.

If you go, let us know what you find out.

My treatment: Oil pulling daily; candida diet (minimum of carbs, no sugars); omega-3 from canned salmon and sardines; sun exposure 10-15 minutes, 3 days a week, without sunblock; program to strengthen immune system; probiotic supplements; lots of water; moderate daily exercise; exfoliation with epsom salts and sugar several times a week. KP reduced 99%. If I go "off diet" -- grains, sugars, etc. -- or stop oil pulling, KP returns.

I don't want to alarm you, but you might have a pigmentation problem. What kind of nurse screams at a person????
I would fire them! #@}ç[^$*&§!!!! Ow but first, I'd give them a reason to scream and kick them in the ribs.
As kebod suggested, go to your derm ASAP.
Keep us updated!
