    JollyBigChick got a reaction from ShineBright724 in Dark/thick skin   
    I am a victim of this. I say victim because I always felt it was so f**king embarrassing. and doing everything I could do to hide it. it started when I started puberty oh so long ago. it is related to pcos and obesity. though I do not have pcos. never had diabetes either. but it is a warning that I would no doubt have developed diabetes in the future. I did a lot of research on my own, the doctor I saw as a teen didn't really say a lot. all he said was that it was related to childhood obesity and prescribed some cream that turned my affected body parts red, raw and painful. he said it may or may not go away when I was finished with puberty and or lost weight. what MinnesotaDreaming23 posted is all correct. I think it is on a person to person basis. but I can tell you that mine went away. I am 18 months post op. I noticed awhile ago that it was gone from my neck. I just looked last week and realized that for the first time in as long as I can remember my armpits are white. only someone with this condition can understand the feeling of that if they were as embarrassed as I was about having it.

    Keep in mind that your weight loss chart will look more like a staircase than a ski slope and the inevitable stalls will be less frustrating.
