it looks so gross!
i mostrize all the time so i doubt its because my skin is dry.
and its not like it just started happening, i had this since i can remember.
and i still have it, worse than ever.
and im in 7th.
is it because im cold?, but even when im warm my skin does this.
it happens on my legs too.
and its not like im the only one noticing it and that im too self concious!
the other day i had soem rude person say 'EW! your hands are all gross and red! do you have a disease?
in front of the whole class.
i just want a way to get rid of it.
or atleast hide it.
i try putting lotion on it but 5 mins later it goes back to red and blotchy.
sometimes purplish.
i eat healthy as much as i can, and drink ALOT of water.
could i not be drinking enough
its not ezcema because i know soemone who has that and it doesnt look close to that.
its just the texture of my normal skin.
but instead of looking the normal color its all red blotchy.
In the winter, during class, my arms and hands get blotchy and red!?Does this only happen when your cold? If so I doubt like you said it is from dry skin. I would make an appointment with your Dr. and give him all of your symptoms.
Hope this helps!!

In the winter, during class, my arms and hands get blotchy and red!?is it raised and on the skin or under the skin? If it's under the skin its most likely blood pooling, sometimes this happens if you drink alot of caffeine or if your body is below average temperature or it could also be poor circulation.
