I was  working with a derm dr until today I went in and he said well nothing more i can do I asked him if he was sure and he said nothing left to try!! I keep telling him about the ( small fesh colored bumps you can see if you grasp your testicle with 2 fingers and make the skin a little tight they really pop up and when I shower if feels like sandpaper but every doctor refuses to look at these they are not connected to hair as my hair will not grow in this area since the beginning of this problem so I am back at square one again

You've had this for a long time so I would imagine it could take awhile to get it cleared up. Are you noticing any changes at all? Are you working with a Dermatologist?  Remar
