Re: Brown spots on face - any ideas?

I'll keep an eye out for the darkening of skin creases. Thank you for

explaining why it happens. I'm going to look into getting HC too.

My wife sounds similar to you - no darkness of creases, no dark spots

in mouth and doesn't really tan. Its good to hear that your pimples

stopped after HC. I guess it's hormone balance being out of wack.

Funny though, i have slightly dark creases.. for a long time. Along

with salt wasting dehydration episodes that put me in hospital more

than once. No doctor ever mentioned endocrine issues as a possibility.

Jay,

Has she done the saliva test? If so, what stage is she in?

Also, has she always been prone to scarring? I wonder if that is

related. Never thought about it before until you brought up the pimple

issue.

Isn't that interesting. I tried to do a google search to find out if

there was more info on the connection of adrenals and scarring but

couldn't find much. Scar and scarring being words that bring up all

kinds of different things.
