Dear internet doctor /b/.
Does anyone know what the fuck is wrong with my skin?
On my chest and back, i have these tiny hairs like 1mm long that look like they should be normal chest/back hair only they refuse to grow. The hair follicles have these dots, it looks like ive got loads of tiny dark spots but im sure its not that, the hair seems to have given up on growing.

Pic is of my arms.
Like i said, they look like spots but they aren't, ive got 2 or 3 spots on my chest and they look different, more red these look dark.
What the fuck is wrong with me?

My stupid guess is that the follicles are getting clogged with something that's causing the dark spots in them all and stopping the hair from growing?

Halp!

This is my chest, the dots you see all have the fail hair growing out.
Ok, so i lied about having 2-3 spots but you can see the difference here.

ginger? man? woman?

any pre-existing conditions? age? level of activity/exercise?

these little details, tend to help narrow it down.

Without them, if I had to hazard a guess I'd say you were a pale freckly nerd who doesn't get enough sunlight. VITAMIN D CHARGEEEEEEEEEEE

Only skin conditions are really bad acne which has mostly gone now i am just working away the scars.
Im short and a little bit fat but i think its just because i am short - i don't sit in all day i am active, 10 min walk to friends most days and play sports etc.

My chest has a similar prob to yours. I don't think they're hairs, I think they're blackheads. I think you'll find if you squeeze them a little black bit followed by some semi hard pus will come out. I could be wrong though.

Nah, they are definatley hairs they stick out of the skin like 1mm i can see it but it looks like the tips of the hairs, then as i said they gave up on growing, plus there are so many it would be impossibly gross if they where all blackheads.

Yeah I kinda doubted it from the large number you have. Well, dunno then, sorry.

Heres an ugly closeup, you can see the black dots that do look like blackheads are actually hairs.

I have this too (or something incredibly similar) on my legs and have always wondered what was the deal... I'm a black female, though. What the eff?
