Excessive sweating, body hair, and keratosis pilaris. So self conscious. Why do I do this?

Asked By:bethann0920 in Memphis, TN

Ever since I started my menstural cycle at 12 years old I have been so embarrassed of my legs, arms, and chest. I can't wear certain clothes without feeling uncomfortable, shirts, tank tops, bikinis, etc. I think I have keratosis pilaris on those areas because I have the same symptoms as described on the internet and they look similar to the photos shown. I also sweat very bad, even when I'm just sitting in a cool house. And I get dark hairs on my breasts, chest, stomach, and whole body.
