MedHelp Member's Question

Can we just accept our skin?

by Emily458, Mar 13, 2009 04:09AM

I have the Keratosis Polaris too.
My husband says he likes to cool texture of my arms. I am grateful that he loves me and likes my arms too!

I wear long sleeves and do the sponge thing....and if I can't wear short sleeves....big deal.....so what...you are who
you are.....invest in cozy long sleeved tops made of cotton....cotton is best for our type of skin.....wear nice smelling creams.....paint your toe nails.......we are not our arms.....and a good mate will look beyond that anyway......

For men....same thing....be a good man, a strong man, a man of character....she won't care about a few bumps on your arms.....if she does, she is shallow.....

I think we can just accept our skin and ourselves!
