WTF is my body doing? It's like I've developed some bizarre type of acne everywhere except my face. But these aren't proper pimples, oh no. I know and recognize pimples, and ignore them until they go away. I used to have bad acne on my back, but that's pretty much cleared up now.

But these? They're like...pimples who are born dead. Pimples in their last stage of pimpledom popping up on my neck, tummy, back, legs... Small pinkish blotches. Seriously, like my acne decided to skip all that annoying acne stuff and go straight to the Dead Pimple, which is larger and uglier than the pimple itself but is okay because it means it's almost gone. These START OUT at that stage, and then DON'T GO AWAY. I've had a couple for a week or so, and more keep appearing.

What the hell are these things? MAKE THEM GO AWAY.

argh i've had that a little, and i think you might have follicalitis, where bacteria get into your pores. i was given antibiotics for three months which had no effect; better to just chuck out any loofahs, washcloths etc, use a really really gentle soap, and don't touch your skin.

however, i am not a dermatologist...

i hated that, it was so unfair and made me feel so very unattractive. but these things happen. it's the BACTERIA wot done it!

ICKY.

I'm really hoping that these are just, like, zombie pimples. I tend to have bad skin experiences when I go between Chicago and NYC -- sudden climate changes cause acne, apparently. Maybe these were just aggravated by that.... *crosses fingers*

Oh, golly -- see a doctor! At first, I thought, "She's got a rash," but if it's been a week and you're only getting more, then it's probably something else, but might be some sort of infection like the person above mentioned.

Gah. I'm thinking about the doctor thing, but these dratted things don't itch or anything, so I'm still holding out hope for the Undead Acne situation. (And also because I'm probably having my wisdom teeth yanked tomorrow, and am not sure if I'll be up to another doctor-type situation at the same time.)

Ow. No idea what they are, but you should probably do the doctor thing and see if they can tell you what it is. It sounds like some sort of nasty infection, and even if it's like, harmless, you might be able to get something from them that will make these nasty buggers go away.

They don't hurt or itch or anything, they're just THERE. And icky looking. Ugh.
