Just checked the site.
It KIND OF looks like this, except it's smaller. And I don't have that much, only a few.
And even if that was it... It doesn't sound too dangerous right?
"In most cases, treatment is not required as the marks are completely harmless. Attempts to destroy the lesions may leave brown marks or larger white marks, which may look worse than the original condition. Sun protection is very important."
Mortality/Morbidity: This condition is cosmetic alone, albeit, it is indicative of cumulative sun exposure.

I also have very sensitive skin, maybe it's the reason why?

Ah well, either way, I just have to deal with it.
I only tan about 12 minutes a week anyways.

EDIT: I found an answer on some Medline website:
In light pigmented individuals this eruption tends to appear in sun exposed areas. In dark pigmented individuals macules may be prominent in sun exposed as well as clothing covered areas.

I'm naturally very very pale. I guess that's why ;/[ This Message was edited by: Ava on 2004-09-21 16:53 ]
