Hi Bearcat, Wow, those ARE unnusual. Not even Dr. Google (ha) was of any help for me on this one. Does any one else know what this is? Perchance, did your dermatologist have an idea, or even do a biopsy to check? I assume these bumps don’t itch, right? Anyone?
I have one spot that looks like that. Never knew what it was though. My skin is covered with loads of weird marks, so I never even thought to ask.
