well, 1. it's hereditary so you can thank your folks for that, and 2. It goes away when you get older. Meanwhile, make sure you use a dye and perfume free detergent for your clothes (I use All Free and clear) and don't pick at it cuz it will look even worse! Finally, try an exfoliating cleanser on your arms once or twice a week, and use a brush for the shower that can scrub the skin, it will also help.

just try to explain what it is, as accurately as you can ( %26amp;that it's not contagious, etc.).





if they are at all intelligent, they will have sympathy %26amp; not care on bit.
