How many brown spots do you have?

On your arms, back and front? I saw this thread on another forum and thought it was strange so thought Id ask here. I don't have any :confused:

u mean freckles?

Yeh, but they normally come in large groups and overlap so would be hard to count, so just stick with brown spots.

Do you mean the pale coffee coloured ones that are the same texture as skin, or the ones more commonly known as moles / beauty spots? If you mean the latter, I have about 30, ranging from more-than-freckles to less-than-moles.

Same texture as skin? You mean flat? Yeh thats what I meant, as well as the beauty spots lol. The only exception is if there is a load overlapping in this case its impossible to count don't bother.

In fact im bored of this topic already lol

I have a few, does anyone else feel embarrased to show them off? I mean I recently got 2 on my back and now I won't go shirtless as I notice people look at them :confused:

Do people look at everyone elses spots or just mine :confused:

'spots' or moles? because i think most people have several moles and so almost no one takes any notice of them...as far as i'm aware anyway. i think they are cute.

i have one on my bottom lip :biggrin:

i like it.

They don't bother me in the slightest. :s-smilie:

I have one on my right cheek (can you believe I've had it for 18 years and I still had to look in a mirror to check which side it was on..) and I always dab my foundation off it to make it more noticable. I think they can be interesting, especially when they're uncannily aligned or in some weird formation. On other people though, I don't give them a second thought.

The whole idea of people mentioning moles makes me embarrased, I look down on people who have them, well not really look down but if someone has them I suddenly become more confident :confused:

If people talk about them in my presence I ignore the conversation and look away. Anyone know why I have this unusual quirk? :frown:

haha....that really is an unusual quirk! hmmm...ii don't get it. they are so normal. i just kind of assume that everyone has them and that no one is bothered by them. can't really see why anyone would be :s-smilie:

Are you talking about the large, lumpy, hairy ones? I can see how they'd freak you out if you came, for want of a better phrase, face to face with one. But everyone has beauty spots / freckles. If I met someone so clearly upset by something as innocuous as beauty spots, I'd chase them and give them a big, freckly cuddle.

i have 18 just on my left arm. most are a similar size to a full stop but they are dark coloured.

I have a celtic complexion (very fair skin, blue eyes, but thankfully not ginger! :wink:

) so I have loads of freckles. Literally, you couldn't count them if you tried. I have most on my arms and face, which get most sun exposure (even though I now wear factor 15 moisturiser all year round) but several (>20) on each leg and a couple of moles on my stomach - though they're all flat, non-hairy ones. They don't bother me that much, to be honest; it's not like I can do anything about them. If anyone is weird enough to have a problem with my skin, that's just as silly as having a problem with someone for being black!

If you mean 'beauty spots,' I have quite a lot, but not big ones.

I have about 100, but they're not freckles, they're 'beauty spots' I'm surprised how few spots people say they have, I always assumed I was normal, guess not though!

you ARE normal! the number people have varies so massively. i have a fair few, one of my friends has loads and another one has about 4. i don't think there is any 'normal' amount.
