Members deeply connected over the distressing experience of random profuse bleeding from skin lesions, with many sharing the added pain of being falsely accused by doctors of self-harm or picking at their skin when the bleeding occurs spontaneously. Several members described unique challenges including scalp lesions covered in thick crusts called Lichen Simplex Chronicus, sores under arms that take months to heal, and the struggle to find compassionate dermatologists who take their symptoms seriously rather than dismissing them. A recurring theme was the emotional toll of living with misunderstood symptoms, with members offering mutual support through sharing topical remedies like tea tree oil and Derma Smooth, and encouragement to keep advocating for respectful medical care.
