Bella,

Didn't really try anything to get rid of them. All I can link to them is that

they began with pasteurized, homogenized milk consumption that coincided with

my teens and pretty much went away when I stopped all dairy except yogurt and

hard cheeses about 10 years ago. With raw dairy, coconut milk and coconut oil

over the last year and more improvement I can now shave my legs above the knee

for the first time ever without worrying about aggravating hairs.

Another less likely theory is fats. They changed from lard and butter to

vegetable shortening and margarine (loss of source and Mom being frugal

much to

mine and Dad's dismay on butter) same time. I've used butter during my 30 year

married life. The other bad fats and oils have only come out of my diet in the

last year.

Wanita, I have not been eating any other types of oil besides

coconut or olive oil for the past month and my skin is less dry so

it may just be a matter of time to see more changes. I wonder if

using coconut oil as a moisturizer would help. The only dairy I eat

is raw cheese and yogurt as I don't like milk, so it can't be that.

Thanks

Bella
