#dsap

oh, hmm, checked the tag and DSAP is an acronym for dark skin appreciation day… i wonder if there's another tag for the skin disorder ? will investigate

so, i got the 50/50 grab-bag genetics of having my mother's skin disorder, DSAP facts: -both her and i have gotten it abnormally young, bc it usually doesn't appear until someone's 30s-40s but we both got it in highschool. i'm the same age as her when she got it, her doctor told her it was impossible haha -caused by genetics and extreme sun exposure, which i'm actually kinda intrigued about bc the sun is a huge thing for me symbolically and in spiritual practice -technically at risk for skin cancer, but development is very uncommon (like 1%) and she doesn't have it so i probably won't either. not worried -the rough skin is there in two little cute patches on my inner arms, mom's didn't turn red/dark brown until her late 20s so i got until then too, likely -more prominent in summer obv and i got it the beginning of this summer -i'm gonna basically have leopard spots on my legs and arms and that's awesome link: http://www.dermnetnz.org/scaly/dsap.html (warnings: graphic skin pictures? there's red spots)
