mine are minging, nowt you can do i'm afraid, apart from cover with fake tan or cropped trousers

i have them. i also have skin so pale that people ask to sit next to me so that it looks like they have a tan. fake tan doesn't work on me (and I can't be bothered anyway).

solution: either don't worry about it or buy a cozzie with legs. sorry!

wish I could fake tan them but my skin is sooooo sensitive, I have yet to try a fake tan that agrees with my skin, anyone know anything for ultra sensitive skin?

clarins one is v good..more difficult than these holiday skin type things, although i use the johnsons one and that's fine on me

I have them, funnily enough from a mosquito bite scar. They sort of flow out from it.

You can have them lasered, not sure on the cost. I wonder if they will ever bother me lots. Doubt it.

Count yourself lucky its just yer thighs - mine have migrated south of the knees. Have bought a product called 'Air Brush Legs' by Sally Hansen (i think - like the nail care stuff) It looks a bit like you're wearing tights but leaves legs looking smooth and lovely. You do have to wash it off with soap so its more of an evening thing. The Johnson's Holiday Skin body lotion builds up a reasonable anti-white-glare tan. Used this when went to Australia in March and it worked well enough for me not to be too self conscious. Keep it off your knees though.
