Lotion issue.
I only wish this was as entertaining as that thread title could sound. I found myself laughing as I typed it, but couldn't think of anything else to call this thread! Ladies, I wasn't sure if I should post this in Health and Fitness, but I figured most guys aren't working on their cellulite.
I've been using L'Oreal Sublime Slim lotion/gel (morning and evening versions) for about 5 days. I lost a ton of weight (85 lbs, woo hoo!) and have extra "stuff" in a few areas on top of the kick-ass muscle I've worked really hard to build. My issue is that this morning I noticed a few dark pigment spots and a lot of petechiae (red pinprick-looking marks) on my legs. I'm curious as to if anyone else has tried this product and/or experienced this side-effect from any similar lotion/cream/gels. By the way, I'm noticing a difference in my skin's firmness already. It rocks in that respect!

I don't use that lotion, but I do have pink marks on the side of my thigh too. They look like the little red marks babies get on their face, which you described. I'm not sure if it's from shaving or just a skin irritation. I would love to find something to help with that too.

Sorry, I can't help you as far as your lotion issue goes, but I just wanted to say congrats on losing the weight!!

I don't have much experience when it comes to cosmetics and the like. I tend to be allergic to a lot of products. If you've been using it for a while and you're only now seeing these spots, it most likely isn't anything I'm familiar with... rashes, hives etc. Best of luck finding some answers, and enjoy that thin body!
