I have red dots permanently all over my legs and it's annoying Does anyone here suffer from the same problem? Feel like I constantly have to wear thigh highs or tights to be cute. It's not *too* bad, I just want to have smooth legs…

I exfoliate with one of these http://a.co/3kwYlF7 and my multivitamin has 100% DV for vitamin A an 500% for vitamin D. Take omega 3 and biotin too :|

I've got a really bad case of this, especially on my back. It's pretty embarassing to wear tank tops or take my shirt off in public, which I tend not to do nowadays. That, combined with bacne leads to me looking like I had a horrible acupuncture job.

Shit could be worse, but it is how it is. Doesn't help that as part of my anxiety I tend to pick.

There's no known cure for it that would work for everyone, since there's really no consensus as to the cause. It's almost different for everyone.

At best, the dermatologist can prescribe some lactic acid cream which may help reduce its appearance, but it'll come back as soon as you stop using the cream.

Just google "strawberry legs home remedy" and then prepare to waste countless hours treating your skin with random shit that will eventually give you smooth legs
