- Why is it purple? :O thats awesome...
Hahah, if you say so.
I have a skin condition called
keratosis pilaris. Another name for it is chicken skin. It's a form of eczema, and it makes these little bumps all over my arms and legs. They aren't that noticeable to the eye. They just feel like goosebumps if you run your hand over my skin.
As for the purpleness, I've had it all of my life; and if I'm cold, it's worse. I look like Barney the Dinosaur. My doctor tells me that it's just poor circulation, but I'm in sports and such and I'm doing just fine in those. My heart's fine. I asked if I needed to see a cardiologist, and he told me no, that I was fuctioning just fine and that he didn't think I needed to as long as there were no problems. I don't think he really knows exactly what it is.
It's incurable, so I have to live with it for the rest of forever.
I've come to terms with it, though. I've accepted who I am.
If I had a picture where you could see my skin, I'd post it. Let me see if I can find one.
And now that I've talked your ear off and wasted about five minutes of your life I'll stop rambling.
