Rightio - I joined the forum because I thought I might find someone else who has my skin, but having just done a quick search, I can't find anything as of yet. So I thought I'd leave a message on this here board and see what happens...
My name is Heather, and since about the age of 18 months, I have had a skin condition called Anetoderma (aka macular atrophy). This basically manifests itself as pitted squishy lumps on my skin where it has lost elasticity. On me, this is mainly on my arms and neck/chest. I don't know much about it, other than it's idiopathic and harmless.
When I was little and it started developing, my parents took me dermotologists to see if anything could be done. However, when the dermos asked if they could take little me to a conference for research, my parents stopped that! Since then, I have had no further contact, and don't really think about it too much - its just part of me.
Saying that, a few new lumps have developed recently (after about a 20 year absence!) and I have been thinking about it. Mainly wondering if there is anyone else out there with this condition and if there is, about their experiences. And that prompted me to join this forum. I apologise if this is not the right place, and if anyone can direct me to somewhere more suitable, I would be very grateful. Otherwise, it might just be nice to explore around here a bit and see what happens
So there's a little story about me and my random motives! Hope that's ok. Merci buckets for reading! Hx
