Black granules forming from skin?

[Anonymous]

So basically, even though I shower every day and use soap, I get these weird little black granules rolling off when I rub my skin. It seems like dirt and grime, but scrubbing does not get it all off. The only reliable method I have found is to use a knife to vigorously to scrape off layers of the black stuff, and it just returns in a few days anyways. Anyone have similar experiences or any solutions?

I would get that checked ASAP. It does not sound healthy, but since you don't want to go to the dermatologist, check out these links:

These websites are free and at least you'll get a doctors opinion on your matter instead of asking unqualified strangers.

Thanks for the MH :) I hope you get better soon!

Even though it may not seem like a big idea you may have a form of fungus and if you visit your dermatologist you could probably get pretty simple treatment if that is the case. That's not normal but it probably has a quick fix.

you might have a skin disease or something..it might be a particular type of fungus (because it comes back after removal) go to your dermatologist

Stop using a knife on yourself.

Why? I am not causing bleeding or any pain really. I'm just scrapping off dead layers.

Umm... talk to a dermatologist?

[Asker]

it's not a big enough deal to warrant a trip to the derma, just though i'd ask here.
