Skin

[Rye]

My upper legs, especially in winter, get lots of tiny red bumps that was are raised from the skin. They're not a pimple or acne and I don't think it has to do with shaving - They tend to be up up up on the part of my leg that doesn't really actually grow hair, and they've happened since I was a child. Does anyone else get these? What ARE the things?!

Does your skin have any sort of unusual problems?

I had bad dandruff before, now i only have a bit of dandruff

[qwertysaur]

I have eczema.

[Cuchulainn]

sounds fatal.

The only thing is that I get dry skin on my hands during wintertime, so I'm lubricating pretty much every day. It's pretty common.

I have really dry, sensitive skin. It sucked when I went to New Zealand and it was all really cold there and eczema was just like heeey and man it was so bad. I hardly got any sleep at night it was so tortuously itchy and painful. What you have, Rye, kinda sounds like dermatitis to me.

The most annoying thing about my skin is that it makes buying and using makeup/facial care products a pain in the ass. >:(

I can get some pretty bad acne sometimes on my face, ;~; but I've thankfully stopped having so many outbreaks in the last year.

[Moon Rabbits]

I have freckles everywhere

I don't get anything like red bumps on my legs ... sometimes my octopus tattoo bumps up on one of the tentacles and gets a little itchy when I'm sick. I have a little red dot that appears on my right middle knuckle from time to time. The skin on my thumbs is usually pretty dry. Other than that... no!

Psoriasis maybe ?

I have freckles in a bunch of spots, and some acne on my face and upper body. Also, current sporting bedbug bites! *sighs*

That sounds similar to what happens to my leg during winter. I think it's just dry skin. You could try ointments if it really bothers you. I'm sure there's en ointment for that.

My face and scalp just get drier in the winter, which is perfectly understandable for the season, so I just use a thicker lotion and use anti-dandruff shampoo.

If freckles are considered "problems" then, I'm covered in the buggars. In the Summer I get freckles everrrrrrywhere.

In the winter, I might get dry hands or something, and the wind proper attacks my lips! Vaseline is my best friend.

[Shlup]

I have a chalazion right now.

Psoriasis maybe ?

I suffer from Psoriasis, and what Rye described doesn't sound like it to me. But, there are different kinds so it may be worth getting checked out.

so yeah, I don't get what you described Rye, but I do get Psoriasis. Apparently it can be triggered by stress. I tend to get it on my elbows, tummy and back. I have a cream prescribed by the doctors, which clears it up a bit and I also have sunbeds because the UV light helps clear it up too.

I get a really dry nose and lips too, but vaseline on my nose and lips whilst I sleep keeps them soft
