Bunch of random problems
Hi, I'm 18 years old and female, from Australia. Ok so I have lived with some symptoms that may or may not be related to each other for years. They are inconvenient and sometimes embarrassing. I'm just fed up really, and any advice would be appreciated.
Here is a list:
1. Red skin. I blush very easily on my face. I also get red skin on my neck, arms, stomach, chest and even legs if I'm very hot. Some triggers of redness include heat, cold, wind, embarrassment, anger, excitement, hot food/drink, alcohol, or touching my face too much.
2. Extremely sensitive skin. Probably related to redness. For example, I can't use hair removal cream, as it gives me a rash. When I shave I get bumps easily. When I pluck my eyebrows they bleed. I had my eyebrows waxed and they stayed red for weeks until the hair grew back.
3. Excessive sweating. On my face and underarms mostly. Also hands, back and neck. Very annoying.
4. I get thirsty a lot. Even when I drink a lot of water a day I still have a dry mouth and chapped lips. I admit I don't drink a lot of water, but when I do I still feel thirsty. I also get headaches from dehydration sometimes.
5. I pee a lot, and it hits me suddenly. So when I do try drink a lot of water I just have to keep running to the toilet to pee but still feel thirsty. My friends have even commented on me having to rush to the toilet a lot.
All of these may be related.
I'm quite sure I have Keratosis Pillaris which causes redness, sensitivity and bumps on my skin. A doctor told me its highly likely I have this.
But I need help with sweating, being thirsty and having a weak bladder.
Do you think these are related?
Also I've tried to treat my excessive sweating with prescription strength deodorant but it doesn't work. I sweat even when I'm not hot, anxious, exercising, etc. For example, right now I'm sitting at home with anti-persperant deodorant on, and my arm pits are very damp.
Any help is welcomed, thanks for taking the time to read :)

Want to answer more questions in the Health & Fitness category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Illnesses?
Some make up fights redness and covers it up. I've seen macabelle turn red skin into not red skin. so that would help with your face.
As for the rest the only thing i can think of is You might have some sort of deficiency of some kind. I would suggest going to your family doctor and getting a full physical as well as full blood tests, or tests period.
goodluck
