Skin issue :(

Right, are there any doc's on here or at least someone who is going to give a serious answer?

I have never really thought twice about it and considered it to be normal until my other half said about it every now and then 'jokingly', that when rub onto a dark fabric it leaves like a white mark. Almost like antiperspirant mark. But it is skin.

This applies from all over my body, arms, legs, torso. Even to the point that when I put a black tshirt on there are often white marks that I have to brush off with my hand down the sides where it rubbed over my sides as I put the top on.

1) is this even remotely normal?
2) anything I can do to stop it?
3) should I be worried?

After she has mentioned it more and more, I am getting a little concious about it and want to know if it's something I should worry about.

No medical threads here im afraid. Go see the doctor seems the most logical thing to do! Seems like dead skin tho to me.

Yea but I cannot be bothered to wait 40 mins only for my GP to turn around and say "its normal"

NHS direct helpline. Or phone gp up and ask for a call back.

Just sounds like dry skin to me, maybe a moisturising body lotion for the worst areas and drink lots of water!

Sounds like dry skin. Try moisturising. Other than that go see your doc.

Sounds like AIDs, the bad type.

I'm the OcUK Doctor, you have skin aids

See your GP for confirmation

Go and see your GP who will refer you to a dermatologist - no one here can give you advice I'm afraid.
