    Question Question... re: camming with skin problems

    Hi everyone, I have a question that is perhaps a little weird.
    I have cammed before, but I haven't in quite some time. I'm thinking of camming again but before I do, I wanted some opinions on my body.
    I know all girls have imperfections and insecurities, and the most important thing is to have confidence and be secure in yourself. I'm a BBW and I am perfectly fine with that - I know there is definitely a market for BBWs and many of them bank!


    That being said ...
    I have a medical condition that makes the skin around my upper inner thighs and pussy look significantly darker than the rest of my body. In addition, I have also battled acne on my upper inner thighs and have a lot of acne scars in that area. Basically, I don't really think that area looks very attractive.
    When I have cammed before, that skin was dark, but not as dark as it currently is. When I was camming, I had a few comments from guys about it, but mostly I tried to hide it. (Not very successfully!) I was also working a token site and didn't do many privates.


    Anyways, my questions: Based on the photos I've included, do you think I could be sucessful despite my skin's appearance? I know this sounds like other questions that have been posted before, such as girls concerned about stretch marks, acne, cellulite, etc, but those are all fairly common skin conditions. This is a bit more unusual.


    I have also considered going the angle of 'I'm such a dirty gross whore cumslut! Look at my hairy nasty pussy!' which would probably work on Clips4Sale but I'm not sure would really go over well on sites such as SM, MFC, AW, etc. I've also thought of just doing clips for C4S that don't really feature my pussy or closeups of my pussy. We all know there are certainly enough fetishes to delve into over there.


    Should I try to hide it? I know if it was, say, my stomach I was concerned about it, I could wear a tank top/corset etc to cover it up, but seeing as this is the main part that guys would generally be paying to see, I'm not sure how that would work. Any ideas?


    Am I crazy to consider camming like this? I have no problem having thick skin (so to speak) and ignoring and/or banning any fuckers with rude comments. But I also don't want to waste my time if there's not much chance of realistically making much money.
    Thoughts? I know that I won't really know how it goes until I try, and "there's a customer for every type of body" and that most guys don't focus on things that girls focus on, but IMO this is different. Btw, don't be afraid to tell me it's not going to work for me, I can take it. Thank you!

    Hi dear, I looked at your photos and I really don't think it's anything to worry about it. The key is making sure you feel confident and sexy! (I was picturing a much more drastic difference in skin color than there actually is from your written description )

    I couldn't get the password to work (it could be my settings) so I don't know exactly what you're dealing with but I just wanted to say that good lighting plus a good cam tend to even things out in a nice way.

    I have a few "imperfections" that I was concerned about but no one has ever brought it up. Usually it's your personality that draws them in so they want to see *your* pussy, making it look perfect to them. Unless you really want to go down the road of playing up your condition, you might just try telling them that you are beautiful down there. The power of suggestion is very strong, LOL.

    Also I wanted to mention that crotchless fishnets and stockings would help with the scars on your thighs, but again I think guys overlook things like that in the heat of the moment once they are hooked on you. The only way you will know is if you try, and confidence goes a long way.

    agree with all above - not as bad as you think - and the crotchless things would be nice - and try Nf for the subbie stuff

    I have psoriasis and eczema and I keep it under control with herbs. When I have a flare up, you can't even see it on cam. If you use the 920 and pink lights it won't even show up that much probably.

    Do you still have active acne on your thighs? Or has it stopped being severe and just happens occasionally?

    If the issue with the acne has calmed down, you can always start a skin care regimen for your legs if you're not already doing that. I know AHA (Alpha hydroxy acid) is a great way to exfoliate / lighten the skin tone, and I think that could help improve your skin a lot (as long as you wear sunscreen over top during the day time to prevent re-darkening of the skin).

    Clothing is a great option, like....stockings / fishnets that you can wear to cover your legs if you're worried about guys commenting about them. They look really sexy, and a lot of guys like to see those on cam girls.

    I don't think it looks as bad as you might feel that it looks =)

    That's a great idea. Also, the Clarisonic with the body attachment works for evening out scarring. It's helped me to even out redness and blotchiness overall, and it keeps my ass and inner thighs bump free. Maybe TMI, LOL.

    salicylic acid for the butt bumps - and thanks for the tip on the clarsonic - I have sun damage and a bit of scarring from itching on my forearms and i never thought of trying it there - I have been using this product http://www.murad.com/remove-age-spots and this http://www.sephora.com/ultra-repair-cream-P248407 - the repair cream calmed down the itching so it had a chance to heal and i love love love it all over - the murad is a slower process but it is getting better

    I don't think anybody will be bothered , to be honest. Also, you could play it up as a BBW, and say your thighs rub together so much that your skin's discoloured !(I don't tink that's the reason, just know a lot of BBW lovers would find that appealing!Make some videos showing it off, use it as a feature, play it up

    The skin on my inner thighs is very discolored, much more noticeable than yours OP, and in 3.5 years of camming exactly one person said anything about it (and that was to tell me he loved it). There are things you can do to try to diminish it or hide it, but I honestly don't even bother trying any of that and it's never a big deal. Of course *I* notice how dark my thighs are compared to the rest of me, but I don't think the guys do. Trust me, when my legs are spread that is the last thing they are focusing on

    Default Re: Question... re: camming with skin problems

    It's really not that noticeable, from your description I was expecting much worse. First off, I don't know what you've tried to get rid of it but I've had some issues around the same area (I'm REALLY prone to ingrowns on my bikini line/inner & backs of thighs) and homemade Tendskin has been a lifesaver. It will definitely improve the acne situation and since it increases cell turnover it might help with the scarring.

    That said, honestly, just do it. Just get on cam and say fuck the haters. I used to be SO insecure about everything when I started camming. I remember putting cover up on every single little bruise, freaking out about tanlines. I remember spending 15 minutes every shift putting makeup on my damn pussy, lmao. The truth is that they can't even see most of this stuff, and if they do see, they don't care. It might be best to work a private-based site, as token-based ones seem to be less kind to BBWs and (IMO) are more prone to rude guys and freeloaders.

    Here's my theory about imperfections on private-based sites: Custies do not want to close out of a private after they've paid but before they've come. They really do not want to do it. If by the time they see something they may not like (like discoloration on your thighs) they've already paid $10+ then it would have to be pretty bad for them to call that $10+ a loss and go find another girl. I think that this decision to stay may also occur subconsciously and make them find you more attractive since they've already spent a nice chunk of change on you (meaning because they spent money on you already, they actually end up caring LESS than they would have if they hadn't or had only spent a couple bucks.) IDK if this makes sense but it's always proven true for me and gives me peace of mind if I have to log on with buttne or a sunburn or something, lol. So just rock it and check out private-based sites. Also keep in mind when setting your rates that cheaper rates tend to attract picky, rude customers (which plays into my theory) so don't set your rates too low on account of this, OK? You're just as good as anyone else and there is an awesome future regular browsing SM right now looking for someone just like you.

    Thanks everyone. I really appreciate all the advice and comments. I do have some fishnets and stockings I could use, and a nice pair of crotchless panties. I guess to me it seems worse than what other people think, but I suppose that in general people are more critical of themselves than others.

    As for the acne on my thighs, it's not too bad any more, I just get occasional flare-ups, but there's usually not much in the way of active pimples or anything. I think it's hormonal as it tends to be worse around my period. It's just that it's left so much scarring and dark spots. I like the idea of using a Clarisonic or something like this: on the area as well as a product with AHA or some kind of dark-spot correcting thing. Thanks for the link to the homemade tendskin too, I will definitely try that out! Ingrowns are the worst and have definitely contributed to the mess up in there lol. I actually prefer to be shaved but I wanted to see if things looked better with hair (answer: not really) I bet the tendskin will help however.

    Okay. Well I guess I'll be biting the bullet and getting back into camming Truthfully last time I was camming it did wonders for my self-esteem so hopefully I'll get back in a groove and make some $$! Momma's gonna rock this thing

    I also have darkened inner thighs and am a BBW. I have heard that the cream used for anal bleaching will lighten it and it can be ordered online, not sure if it is sold in pharmacies too. Mine isn't really too noticeable, I looked at your pics and it's not bad, but I also agree on the lighting. I have a lamp that I put on the ground to add more light to my lower area and it seems to wash out any inperfections, I also get acne under my butt cheeks too so it helps hide that.

    I have ass acne (especially when I'm stressed out) and this stuff http://sallyhansen.com/products/skin.../airbrush-legs hides it really well and totally evens out your skin. I'm a bit darker than you are, but I know it works well on most skin tones. Extra lighting does wonders to wash away imperfections.

    Secondly, I have extremely dark lips due to a pregnancy and my backdoor is pretty dark too. I've found that customers LOVE it. I get compliments almost daily on how pink it makes my hooha look... so I know that darkening in the nether region isn't always a bad thing and can, in fact, be used to your advantage.
