Unfortunately no cure for this. I can wear leg makeup for arms and legs and can diminish the look a bit.
On upper arms, legs, butt cheeks and a bit on the back. I feel nobody will like me. I don’t want nice sympathetic or pity answers please. Just be straight honest!
Girls are supposed to have nice smooth skin, this is very ugly for guys to see in a significant other, yeah?
I would not stay with a girl with skin like that it’s ugly
I don’t think it’s ugly and I’d stay with her
It’s disgusting
It’s not bad I’d stay with her

Also these are not my photos. It’s google images but basically they show what I have.
Few people are perfect specimens of beauty. I don' think most guys would turn you down just because of that. Ask yourself how negative that would be for a guy to have. I doubt there's much of a difference. Girls tend to be much more picky than guys as well. There are much more important things and much worse things than what you have.

But would you be turned off or disappointed or grossed out if your girlfriend suddenly takes off her clothes and you see this on her skin? It’s bad right?
I would hope to have seen her leg, arms or whatever before she took her clothes off. No it's not attractive. I'm a guy quite into skin though. There are more important things about a girls body than this though. Most girls are not attractive to me for other reasons.
It's unfortunate to go through these things, but keep in perspective that this isn't that bad. You can still be attractive to men. At least you weren't born a guy. That's the way to really not be physically attractive to the opposite sex.
I thought even if I had the best body shape, guys would prefer a girl with nice skin? i even saw a question here few days back where a guy said if your butt doesn’t look nice, no guy will want you. Mine has these things on it. So even if I work hard to be in the best shape it would still look unsightly because of this
Im not trying to be pessimistic, just realistic. But yet I will still always try to have a good form because I’ll just look extra uglier if I don’t
No for me if a girl has a hot body shape, that would be much more attractive regardless of her skin. A bad body shape is just a straight up deal breaker for me. If you have a great body, I still think you'd be hot with those spots on you. A woman with a nice shape is no joke.
I would think something like that would get better or go away. If not you can probably find guys with the same issue or guys that don't mind it.
I don't think it looks good but its not the worst thing ever.

It’s called keratosis pilaris I recently found out what it was called and discovered there is no cure. Basically my body creates too much keratin and forms a barrier on every hair follicle which looks red. Tiny red dots.
They are on my arms, legs and butt. Some on back. Nobody knows I have it because I wear long sleeves all the time and pants or leggings. A lot of guys ask me out but I don’t want to say yes because I don’t want to disappoint someone if they see I have this. :/
So now I’m asking if most guys care as much as I think? I just want honest answers not nice or pity to make me feel better. Reality. Are lost people (guys) disgusted by this and would rather just pass me up and move on to someone else without this?
I don't think you should constantly be covering yourself up. Its seriously not that bad. I do think its unattractive though. I don't know what most guys would think but a lot would overlook a flaw like this so you don't have to totally freak out about it.
You tell me to stop covering it up but admit it is unattractive? As if I wanna go give everyone an eyesore?
I used to not cover them. I didn’t even care I had that because I didn’t pay attention to it. One day one guy said to me “holy shit! Are you cold? What’s all that? Goosebumps?” And I looked to where he was pointing to my arms and I got red and said “no” and I went home fast and covered it... forever.
If you have something unattractive that you know others will find ugly, why would you expose it? But you’re telling me to do it?
@adriiiaaanna I’ve done plenty of research on this because it made me insecure and asocial. There is absolutely no cure for this. There’s lotions that supposedly help it, but so far they all make it worse. No cure as of yet.
right. A lot of people deal w/ imperfections. Guys with receding hair lines or cankles or birth marks or unibrows or whatever. I'm saying who cares if its unattractive it doesn't bother me if I see someone who looks flawed. Being self conscious about stuff and literally changing your clothing to accommodate what you might not like about yourself is making the problem 10 times worse.
I don’t think there’d be absolutely no cures, it’s very popular and many people have gotten rid of it. Coconut oil, retin A apparently got rid of some peoples, if you research deep there's lots that have cured other peoples. There’s no point just give up unless you wanna embrace it.
@adriiiaaanna I have not gave up. But there is no cure as of yet. I have tried all the ones you have said plus a hundred more, I even made my own by mixing things I’d thought would help such Aloevera, vitacilina, vaporub. Etc etc... i even bought the expensive ones that promise to remove it but only made it worse.
Coconut oil just make me feel soft, dots still look red and always there. Eucerine, I love that lotion and only makes me soft too, still red dots everywhere, retin A only made me peel, no visual improvement whatsoever.
Nobody’ knows why some people just don’t have it anymore but it’s rare and it’s usually at age 30 and that’s only about 1% of the people who have it that somehow just start seeing less of it. Most people with this will have it forever. I have made plenty of research and of course I don’t stop because I still have it. It’s ugly. And sad.
You're not alone sister. I get those bumps when I shave my legs, and it's pretty much impossible for me to have smooth legs because of it. I haven't had any issues in the dating world though because of it!
I think your still pretty. Lol I can't talk much cause I'm a pregnant blimp but id so date you even with that. Makes your personality that much prettier.

:)))) thank you Congratulations on the baby that’s so sweet!
No why would you do that? It's fine. It usually goes away by the age of 30 sometimes earlier. I am 27 now and it's not as much as I used to have it. Even if it doesn't who cares? What you have is called Keratosis Pilaris. And don't try to tan. Trust me most guys actually prefer a pale girl over a fake tan girl any day of the week. "This condition develops when the skin produces too much of a protein called keratin, which can block hair follicles and cause bumps to develop. The bumps are usually on the arms, thighs, cheeks, and buttocks. They're white, sometimes red, and typically don't hurt or itch. The condition isn't often serious and usually disappears by age 30. Medicated creams may help skin appearance." This was from webmd.
Your welcome and just own it. Trust me guys don't care about that. And I hope women don't care about guys having that. That's like one of the tiniest trait to worry about.
Excuse me, I accidentally clicked to vote A when I meant B. There are many ways to fix your legs with beauty products. and it's not such a bit disadvantage.
I dont see anything wrong with that skin at all. Everyone is different, your skin doesn't judge your personality.

But if she covers it wearing long sleeves and pants, and one day eventually you’ll get more serious in the relationship and intimacy happens. When she takes off her clothes and you see this suddenly, would it make you disgusted? Or weirded out? Or even turn you off?
I have this too. have you thought about getting a tan/fake tan? it helps them not be so noticeable. It helps me feel more confident anyway.

I tried it because I read the sun helps but for some reason mine got more red The makeup tan works but in the daylight you can tell I’m wearing makeup and it looks ewww At night time I can wear skirts and with the makeup even with lights on (electricity man made light) you can’t tell. That’s the only way :/ I’ve tried so many things.
probably all the same spots as you. I think I read that's where they most often happen. and yeah I still hide mine when I can, but when I got a tan they don't show up nearly as much.
Oh really? So if you saw a girl from far and thought maybe she’s cute and walk near her to maybe talk to her but before you talk to her you notice these things on her skin. She hasn’t seen you so you don’t have to approach her, would seeing this make you just turn around instead and not want to initiate anything with her anymore?
