Accepted Answer

Possible: If you have SLE ( systemic lupus erythematosus) then you must know that SLE can affect many different organs and very feequently the skin. The rash of SLE is photosensitive and typically describe as "butterfly rash" on your face, but SLE is known for many other dermatologic manifestations. You should ask your rheumatologist and if in doubt dermatologis can help sometimes with a skin biopsy.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It may be due to dry skin, try using an emollient like Vaseline and it that does not help it would be prudent to see your doctor. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Question 9

how do i make pores on my legs less visible?

Accepted Answer

Alpha-hydroxy acid: Otc products containing alpha-hydroxy acid (aha) or glycolic acid or beta-hydroxy acid (bha) or salicylic acid or Lactic Acid or urea can help to minimize pores.  A longer term solution is doing laser hair removal which destroys the hair follicle which makes the pores appear much lessened and helps the skin become smoother.
