Hey all! So I have these weird dry, pink patches on my upper thighs and my uterus area. My doctor told me I could get dark patches with this syndrome, but these seem a little out of the ordinary. I guess I want to know if any of you have had them and if they have anything to do with PCOS. thanks so much!

I get these.. especially durring the winter. Do yours itch really bad? My doctor said it was exzema[sp] and prescribed me prescription strength hydrocortizone. When my prescription runs out I use regular strength.. but it doesn't work very well. I get them on the tops of my arms, my chest, and on my upper thighs near my pubic area.. sometimes they pop up other places too. I would suggest seeing a dermatologist. They know what they're talking about.

you know what, i think i do remember having them last winter possibly. i need to go back to my dermatologist then. i was looking online too and i saw something called xerosis? ever heard of it? it said they can come from taking too hot of showers, not being hydrated, not using a moisturizing bodywash, etc

Could these be skin tags?

It sounds like they may be eczema. Try putting some hydracortizone cream or eucerine on them and see if it helps.
