Does a ruptured silicone implant cause acne and symptoms similar to fibromyalgia?

Asked By:add13 in San Mateo, CA

I've had silicone implants for almost 8 years and I was in a car accident 5 years ago. Since the car accident, I've battled fibromyalgia symptoms. The worst symptom since the accident is out of control body acne, ingrown hairs, folliculitis and clogged pores, mostly on my back, chest, arms and armpit areas. (I've tried everything except Acutane and nothing has worked). Does this sound like a symptom of a ruptured implant? Can silicone poisoning cause chronic severe body acne?
