In the shower, I always see ugly black stuff coming out of my skin when I rub my skin roughly, what is it!?

This is just dead skin, as the friction you produce as you rub the skin, increases the amount of dead cells you are removing.\nCombine this with dirt and you get black stuff on your hands. \n\nDon't worry about it, it is very normal. Make sure you exfoliate twice a week. This will also encourage healthy skin growth and make your skin look healthy! Get your self a granular exfoliant, or an exfoliating glove and you'll be right!

It sounds like it could be yeast-related.  There are many treatments for it.  I would highly recommend going to a holistic doctor.  Allopathic physicians will give you steroid creams that damage the skin and can cause other adverse reactions.  A holistic doctor will help you to balance any imbalances in your system that are causing your skin to act out in this way and help you to heal yourself naturally.

are they little bumps on your upper arm. if so they are clogged pores. use an exfoliating body wash and use lotion after you get out of the shower while your skin is still moist.

im guessing its an ingrown pubic hair, put a good lotion or vaseline on it every day and see if you can see any hair in it. do you shave? if so dont for a week or so untill all your hair grows out and if you have any still growing under the skin scratch at them untill they come up and wait a few more days then scratch at the purple spot, if nothing comes up go to your doctor or school nurse and they can help with out telling your parents if your young and dont want them to know. you could have a blood blister also. have you gottan it pinched in anything lately? you can ask for a female doctor if you go to the hospital. male doctors see that kinna thing every day so they think nothing of it just try to find the cause, good luck! if its an ingrown hair you can use tweezers to get it out and then keep your pubic area moisturized with vaseline(works best) or lotion.

It might just be a skin condition.. or something to do with your genetics and all that... I have that same problem.. it doesn't bother me, so i don't think you should worry.. probobly just a minor non-harmful sideffect of something.. hasn't harmed me or you yet.. so it probobly wont.. don't worry that much about it.

that is gay of note! is it your skin that's bad? rather get it fixed up by a dermatologist first. \n\nif you really really want to wear makeup, go to a makeup counter and tell the lady your problem. she'll be amused, but happy to help you so that the makeup isn't very visible.

Well...it does sound like an allergic reaction of some type.\n\nDid you recently change fabric softener on your towels recently?  Did you buy new towels or washcloths?  Are you using a new cream or lotion on your face after you get out of the shower?\n\nIt could also be that you're using water that is too hot, so it makes skin more sensitive to the stuff above.  Try cooling the water off, not using fabric softener, not using face cream, and use your older towels and washcloths.  \n\nTry the above one at a time and see if one of these eliminates the problem.  Then stop doing whatever it is.\n\nHope I helped...

2 things....it might be a furuncle....which is a bacterial infection of the little hairs growing out of your skin there....many people get them right above their buttcrack......which leads me to the other thing...you should see a Dr. and gets some antibacterial meds for it :)

You have contact dermatitis. You are getting an allergic reaction to something in the water. In fact this is an improper immune response.

maybe your skin is red and irritated because of the wetness. the wetness is normal , but change your underware more often , the wetness rubbs against your skin and irritates it . i watched the show talk sex with sue jonanson and a woman called an asked what she could do because she was wet down there and it interferred with her sex life , because if the wetness and she said you can get a pill for it , but she said the pill has consequences. She sais it was normal , theres nothing else she could say , but i think you should go to the doctor just to see whats wrong first !! \n\n* hope you get better

It could very easily be contact dermatitis.  Is it in a place where the area is iritated by your waistband, underwear, or belt?  Are you allergic to nickel, or other metals?  Have you changed your, soap, body lotion, or detergents?\n\nAnother possibility is a childhood condition called Miliaria rubra, but more commonly referred to as "prickly heat," that some adults may suffer from.  In this condition, the sweat ducts become clogged.  This is a quotation from DrGreene.com: "....the pores of the sweat glands get plugged, resulting in tiny pink bumps or even water blisters. These bumps tend to show up on covered parts of the skin, especially where there is friction from clothing. The forehead (under caps or visors), body folds, the upper back and chest, and the arms are the most common locations. Prickly heat is most common when it is hot and humid...." \n\nOf course, there are many possibilities.  The best thing to do is not to scratch  it, nor treat the condition over the counter.  Get in to see a dermatologist as soon as possible, as you are in discomfort; or contact your primary care physician for a referral, if your insurance company requires that.\n\nFeel better soon!

You need to see your doctor and/or a dermatologist. Have you used any new soaps, detergents, etc.?

The same thing happened to my sister.  She said not to get bath oils, body shower gels, lotions, etc in the navel.  She always cleans it with alcohol and a q tip every day.  As to what causes it, she never did tell the doctor and she was operated on in 1988.  I'll keep watch here and see if someone knows why.

It could be from shaving.  If you shave to close to the skin that could happen.  Or if you don't use a mosturizer after shaving that could happen.  Just try some mild mosturizer.  \nI hope it helps!!

I have the same problem. I suggest that you go see a dermatolgist. Or use a mild none perfumed soap. Safegurard is one soap you could use.
