How do I get rid of those bumps on my legs? They kind of look like goose bumps?

Not everyone has them, but you know those type of bumps that are on your outer legs and look like goose bumps except their darker then your actual skin tone, how do you get rid of them?

Their not like scars or anything, I have had them my whole life. Their like a ton of tiny bumps. I don't think exfoliating will actually work. How do I get rid of it, so I can have very smooth legs?

Thanks a lot!

How long have you been since your last treatment of cancer?

Yesterday was two years since we had radiation for breast cancer and we went out and celebrated with my wife's parents. Sometimes it hurts to think about what we had to go through to be alive, but we are alive. The pains and scars remain with us for the rest of our lives, but we live and try to find our new "normal".

Energy levels are returning, and we visit our oncologist once every six months. How has it been for you?

Caracol Cream and My Thing?

Ok, this is rather embarrassing. However, it is also rather important. I recently received my Caracol Cream under a free trial offer. I would use it on my face, but I'm going to wait until after I finish my ALA/Blue Light treatments to begin. I'm only 16, and my skin is in ok shape aside from acne, and a few wrinkles on my forehead I don't like so much. I've looked at several reviews. Caracol Cream was at the top, so I'm thinking it's fairly effective.

Now onto the important part. Some of you may find this inappropriate or disturbing if not gross, but it's just medical, so please try and be of some assistance.

Anyways, when I was eleven, and I first started doing that thing... that guys do... I started off (big mistake) using shampoo. I did it twice. The first time scared the crap out of me. It left bad chemical burns that destroyed my first layer of skin (I think). After the healing, there were extensive scars and fine lines on that certain area. The second time, I used conditioner after a long time of waiting. It had the same effect. It left scars as well. Somehow, my nerves went undamaged as far as I can tell, and everything underneath the first lay of skin seems to be in good shape, but the scars make me quite self conscious

So... as you may have guessed by now, I'm wondering if it the Caracol Cream would help there, too. It says it uses an exfoliation process. Which I know means to remove the first layer of dead skin cells... this worries me. Would this potentially damage my nerves in my... thing? And would it possibly cause even more scarring?

Either way, those scars make me self conscious. And it's a scary thing to have any kind of laser surgery in that part of your body or any other methods of scar removal. the scars are more fine lines than anything, so it's not so much any scars as wrinkles and fine lines. I expect some to be normal, but most of the ones that I have I know for a fact aren't natural to have... thanks in advance.

acne, blackheads and oils?

so i was looking up on how to get rid of blackheads and i came across something that said:

I've had incredible results massaging with natural oils. It quickly and permanently got rid of my blackheads, my pimples and scars . I now have a totally blemish free, healthy and glowing skin. The secret is to massage over and over quite vigorously and they will reduce day by day. Do with a forward and back motion using tips and front of fingers and sometimes palms depending where on face you massage. Circular massage is not effective. Try to do 20 to 30 minutes a day(can be in two or more sessions) for best and quickest results.

Olive oil or any natural oil works fine.
You will see clearing of skin and reduction of pores in as little as 2 to 3 days.

REPLY FROM A USER -wannabeblue28 : Hi Mukunda M. "Omg, I've been following your advice and massaging my face vigorously with oil for the last three days and I see results already! Thank you ever so much..this could be the solution to my all my skin problems.. I have just been rubbing my face and neck with the ridges of my fingers and hands.It has made a HUGE difference in my complexion after just one night..... my skin looks so much tighter and i no longer have bags under my eyes! ...Thank you so much for your post, I have been suffering with acne and under-eye circles since i was young."

.....well How will the olive oil not cause breakouts when it's 'oil' ? I'm kind of confused..
