Whenever the seasons change a few thin, straight grazes appear on my skin. What is? Why?

I know this isn't just in my head - been happening for the last 7 or 8 yrs.

i got caught in a climate change in southern india and people were getting ill left right and centre. then i did and i had to go to hospital on a cart.
climate changes affect peoples health enormously, and i guess i found that out in india. it's not in your head.

I know that, but it's something I habitually stress 'cause evryone I mention it to doesn't have a clue and just assumes a cat scratched me. Or some such bollox.

i was gong to say climate/temperature change must be causing this.

the skin grazes, not runce's apparent telepathy about suds' hospital adventure.

Hey, no fair! You edited your post!

Is is just my imagination or did you begin your post with "It's not in your head...."

That's what I was responding to.

Help me, fellow Lithers.

The Natural Way

11:43 / 17.04.02

Oh, I see, you ended yr post w/ it.

So I think its' pretty obvious that I wasn't making a thing out of my telepathy.....

Even though I know yr real name is 'Steven'.

suds ended her post with 'it's not in yr head'. she was having a laff i suspect. climate change is making us all confused!

How am I doing?

But what sort of conditions lead to funny, thin scabs......

are the marks similar to the ones people get when they work out too much too fast (i guess thos would be stretch marks?).

The Natural Way

Uh...no.

They start off as fine red marks and slowly scab up.

Nice.

its probably dry skin, for some reason a few layers sort of crack in a straight line, appearing as a scratch

dry skin plays with you in some weird ass ways

The Natural Way

Really? Weird.....

How come no-one else told me about this?
