So, for some reason I'm looking at my arms and going "Huh. These bumps which I have had FOREVER and a half are really sort of annoying looking". I've never had a problem with them before, and never cared about them until about a year ago. I go through phases (Take one thing wrong with me, and obsess about that one thing and one thing only for a week) when I get into a weird thinking mode and I realized "Maybe I have it elsewhere as well?" I've always wondered if that was it on my upper legs or my butt? It's a lot less noticeable but then again it could just be my hair folicles making it look dark - I don't know, I feel weird about pulling my pants down in front of my dermatologist who has only seen me for facial issues![]()
I can't really remember when it started to occur since I never really cared since a lot of people have it.
I'm wondering if accutane would work? I've heard bad things about how the skin condition reacts to it though...people said it seemed to make it worse. I really need to go to my dermatologist seeing as I haven't been in awhile anyways. I hate the fact that it's genetic so there isn't much anyone can do about it except use certain products, etc.
From reading the two threads on here I've decided to start buying Aveeno oatmeal soap and stop using the soap I do now (seeing as I think it irritates my sensitive skin anyways). I'm also reading that sometimes tanning can make it less noticeable and since I rarely get a tan (even in summer...I stay out of the sun...and for that, I have VERY little skin damage if any) I'm wondering if it could actually be from LACK of sun.
Blah, anyways, I've never been tanning. Do they clean the beds? I've read places where rumors state that you can catch STDs (such as herpes) from a tanning bed. If I do go tanning...totally slipping some multi purpose clorox wipes into my bagI am such a germaphobe.
Eh, I really need to anyways considering my legs are as white as snow. If you only saw my legs in a picture - you'd totally think I was a white girl. It's kind of comical compared to other tanner parts of my body.
