Question
Hi.  I'm a 23 yr old male.  I've been having weird symptoms lately.  I noticed that my skin is not the usual color that it used to be.  Its a little bit more lighter or more pale than usual.  If i have a cut or something it bleeds very slowly. This is going on over my whole body, from head to toe, but its very subtle.  It took my a while to notice what was going on.  I am a very allergic person.  I've had a blood test done, everything was normal.  I've been too an allergist.  I was allergic to almost everything they tested me for.  I have very bad sinus problems and most of the time my body doesn't respond to medications, like clariton or zyrtec.  I also have eczema.  My skin gets very dry, especially in the winter, but ever since this has been going on its seem like my skin hasn't been as dry as it to be.  I'm thinking its something going on under on under my skin.  Maybe some kind of weird dermatitis or some kind of fluid in my skin.  Do you have any idea what could be going on?
