Aaron Hall54 said:silentbear92: So you're saying there isn't actually a permanent fix? Like, the second I stop using this cream, the whole thing just makes a comeback?

🙂copperrider20: Yeah, I guess we call those... suggestions?

I mean, I'm not entirely sure if we're talking about a "permanent" solution, but my esthetician swears it is. She actually showed me her own upper arms—which looked perfectly smooth, by the way (and I highly doubt she'd lie about that🙂)—and told me she just kept applying it consistently... and said it works wonders. Honestly, I've mostly just made peace with my skin at this point. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as it used to, but mostly because I've become incredibly lazy about it, I guess.😬😬

Oh, yeah, my GP actually told me it’s some kind of hair follicle inflammation...☕

Look, I’ve been dealing with this on my arms and legs my entire life. My parents had it back when they were young too, though it seems to have faded for them—and honestly, I was told it would just vanish once I hit 18. Well, I’m already 25 and absolutely nothing has changed 🙄. It’s a bit better in the summer, mostly because the Sun usually helps clear things up, but then winter hits and everything flares right back up. I actually went to see a dermatologist once, and they prescribed some specific gel that I was supposed to apply three times a day, but... yeah, nothing. I did hear that a cream called CeraVe is supposedly great, but you have to be really consistent with it. You can pick it up at a local pharmacy. I bought some myself, but I’ll admit I wasn't exactly diligent about applying it, so I can't speak from direct experience, but apparently, it's amazing. Give it a shot 😉
