Rough skin on the chest

geri1965_2

Recently I've noticed that the area of skin between my boobs feels rough and bumpy (looks normal however). I've tried using a body scrub and moisturising, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Is there anything else I can try, or am I just stuck with it?

microdermabrasion could be just what your skin needs.

OK. What is that?

it's an intensive exfoliation of the skin using alum oxide crystals and/or diamond tipped wands to abrade the top layers of dead skin cells. It thins out the epidermis, encourages collagen and elastin production, and deep cleans the skin.

It sounds scary. I might try a body brush first.

If exfloiating does nothing, think I would be inclined to check it out with a doctor

Does it itch? could be a type of eczema, If not try a cream with lactic acid in (Eucerin does some) which can help.

No, it's not itchy at all. I don't think it's worth bothering my doctor about.

Have you ever tried the oil cleansing method?

I had that last year if it is the same thing. I think it was the pores blocking over time with using fake tan. Exfoliation and moisturising worked for me but it took a few weeks to get it all gone.

No, I've read about it before but I thought it was for the face.
