strange skin infection
by: Nikko D. on Tue, Nov 17 2009

Ever since working around fiberglass during a 1 week painting job in Lake Tahoe, Ca. I have experienced a type of ringworm on the back of my neck in addition to a very dry, and flaking area on my upper back, and now it seems I have a strange rash on my face. Basically the facility I was working at contained different types of chemicals, and toxins that were airborne. I got a sunburn while working there, and than shortly after that had to sand down some fiberglass that was dirty and most likely contained a little of each chemical. I believe the fiberglass dust went onto my sunburned area, and than as the burn healed the fiberglass particles stayed inside my system. This problem is elusive to doctors because its been mis-diagnosed or hypothesized too much. Maybe an MRI would help. I went to a skin hospital and was told I have a strong reaction to cobalt-chloride, but what should I do I really don’t know.
