For those with skin issues with dialysis April 28, 2010 at 07:29 PM in Dialysis dialysis and acne breakouts I been on dialysis for three years. Ive noticed gettin acne is unusal places and now it getting worse. I never had this problem befor I started dialysis; and its getting harder to treat on my own. I fairly sure the two are related but I never seem to get a streight answer. Asked by default user imagebrotherbox Expert answer Margo W., RN replied: When you are on dialysis you may notice changes in your skin, such as your skin tone becoming paler or slightly yellow. It may also be dry or flaky. If you have a dark skin tone, this dryness can result in an “ashy” look. Daily cleansing and moisturizing will help your skin look healthier. Some medications may have side effects that can change your appearance, causing acne, weight gain and puffiness of your face and neck. Make sure you bring up these concerns with your health care team.
