Lyme is really hard on collagen and skin. Has anyone found anything that helps to repair skin and tissues?

Hyaluronic Acid is collagen. Buy a good brands, not chicken sternum or rooster comb. I was taking 100 mg a day for my dry eyes and it did wonder. I don't remember which brand.

Is this the reason I keep pulling collagen fibers out of my skin all over? It freaks me out.
