I realised while ago, I have scaly like skin...

[father ted]

...at the top of my arms and around the back of my legs, and that these might be reptillian genetic traits. Anyone else have these sorts of things?

[size_of_light]

No dude. You're a total freak! :p

[krakhead]

Have you thought it may just be a skin condition? Psoriasis, eczema, something like that? Poor diet, stressful lifestyle leading to dry skin.

Not necessarily anything to do with reptilians.

Just a thought like, Occam's razor and all that..........

Skin condition- most skin conditions are genetic.

LOL! Fair point, but does it have to be reptillian? Could it possibly an over-worked liver?

Nup, my health is just fine, yes I gave a fairly vague descriptiaon, but it has always been like this for me.

Since I know myself, very often, even in the summertime, my hands and feet are cold, but that can also be due to a bad circulation of blood:). Besides, my sis always said that I have a reptilian/lizard tongue, it being too pointed. Not like GENE SIMMONS, yet lol. IMO, u shouldnt worry about anything and u shouldnt make a fixation out of the fact of being (more or less) reppie. Mabe we all are. Anyway, there are good ones&bad ones, like in many others. Reppie or not, u are one of my faves from this site so stay around...

Thank you darling!:o:eek:

I have seen this skin condition in others who I would say have the same ethniticy as me. It is not subtle, it stands out like a muthufckr.

Ted, no need to be scaly....just make sure you don't use harsh, drying shower gel or soap (use natural baby products if poss), and after your shower rub in a bit of natural moisturiser (like cocoa butter or sorbolene), and before you know it you'll have skin as smooth as a baby's bottom! ;)

No, I don't use anything harsh, I have had times where I don't use anything at all and nothing changes. I have seen this in others of the same region of Europe, it's genetic.

Father Ted, it's sounds like you are describing Keratosis Pilaris, it is an hereditary skin condition that is very common especially amongst those of celtic origin. It's caused by excess keratin blocking the hair follicles on the legs and arms and forming rough bumps.

So yes it is genetic but wether reptilian I don't know. So if it is a reptilian trait, around 40% of the worlds population (including you and me) could be a bit lizardy. If you start turning green aswell then maybe you should start to worry. :p

Probably, I'll have more a look into it.
