Elizabeth Davis No worries at all! 😁
I used to say the exact same thing—like, "let the bugs take me," lol—but honestly, I’m super careful about my personal hygiene and keeping the house spotless. My boyfriend has never had those little skin irritations or anything, and we share the same bed every single night...
I started dealing with this exact same thing last year—those weird little skin irritations and scabs that just pop up out of nowhere. After playing detective with my own body, I realized it only happens during the winter. My skin gets incredibly dehydrated, and because I shower every single day without following up with any moisturizer, those little cracks start forming. They eventually cleared up once summer hit, but they left behind these tiny little scars that were totally invisible once I got a tan. This year, I’m being way more proactive about it. I still take my daily showers, but I make a point to moisturize at least twice a week right after I get out. I usually go for a decent body oil or a heavy-duty lotion meant for dry skin (like something from Aveeno or Bath & Body Works). Also, try this: for the next few days, just slather some panthenol cream directly onto those scabby spots before you go to bed. Put on a thick enough layer so that it actually looks "white" on your skin.
