spots!

[HKN]

i have these spots on my arms. They're a pinky purple colour and are usually worse when I'm cold. I 've looked at every possible thing they could be and ive found nothing that's similar to them. Nothing will take them away and Ive tried moisturising it but nothing works. Got any advise?

If you are female these spots could very well be hormone related.

As they are bothering you, it is worth seeing your GP, whether you are a she or a he.

Is it like this?

If so buy a skin brush and brush them dry every morning before you shower, then moisturise after - got rid of mine! it feels really uncomfortable and weird at first but you get used to it and it really worked for me.

If you mean the rough bits on the back of the tops of your arms, I call them barnacles! I scrub mine everyday in the shower with one of those puffy scrubby things and they are as smooth as a babies bum - well almost!
