I have patches on my legs of damaged skin from certain poses eg. sitting. Its bumpy and stretched looking, might be just dry patches. No matter how much I moisturise/efoliate it won't go away, looks horrible! Anyone else get this? What did you do?

This sounds like irritation. I would moisturize it at night and see a dermatologist if it persists. I have a yogini scar on my arm. It is not pumpy but it is a light spot about the size of a quarter. Maybe a bit bigger. It has been there over a year. I do not thing it will be going away.

Hi luvlee, it doesn't seem to be irritated at all, there is no redness the skin has just changed and gone toughened. I guess a bit like how I get calluis (not sure how to spell) on my hands from over working them but this is on my legs and a bit different.

Well, it could very well be a callus. Our skin does toughen after awhile. I have never seen it though so I am not sure if it would be bumpy but calluses on hands are kind of.

My advice, as crazy as it sounds is to continue moisturizing but stop exfoliating completely, I mean don't even use a loofa in the shower, just soap on your hands. At first it will seem to get worse, but after about a week or two, mine went completely away and my legs look better than they ever have! I havent needed to exfoliate in over 6 months! Hope this works for you too! --amanda
I've been wondering somethin gsimilar. I'm not sure if the skin on my inner thighs has always been easier to pinch than the rest of my thigs, ir is the skin is loosening from poling. I hope it's the first option!
