Careful with that, it's a double-edged sword. Y'see, my body is the same way, and I'm in the middle of changing my lifestyle. I don't exercise, like, at all, unless you count walking a lot since I live in a city and don't have a car. I mostly hear people refer to losing weight as a reason to exercise, and since I don't need to control my weight I've not felt any need to exercise. Until recently that is; as I get older I'm becoming increasingly aware of how important regular exercise is to health, so I've been strongly considering joining a health club with a pool so that I can start swimming again (I was a varsity swimmer in highschool.)

From what I've researched my case seems pretty mild, and the spots usually go away with a few days treatment, so I dont stress about it much. I dont really feel its any worse than having acne.

I don't know if it's psoriasis specifically (seriously, no doctor has ever given me a straight answer) but I have a skin condition similar to what you describe. What my last dermatologist told me is that Selsun Blue clears it up (as in, lather it onto the spots.) Best advice I've gotten about the condition, since Selsun Blue definitely works and is way cheaper than going to a doctor and getting a prescription.

Well that's good to know, because I have a bunch of stretch marks and I haven't the faintest clue why. I mean, my body hasn't changed significantly in over a decade.

Swimming is all kinds of good for you, it not only tones you up but also if you're swimming in chlorine I find it helps with spots and acne and stuff. Also it's fun! I don't swim anything like enough because it's hard to get to a pool from where I am (there is one near my college which I could use on Wednesday afternoons but I have driving lessons then at the moment). I shall take it up again when I leave.

There's a health club literally across the street from me that I'm considering joining, but the membership fee is kinda high.

Swimming is amazing. That's how I've been working out lately, because I like swimming and it's also really good for you. After I graduate, though, I'll have to find a decent gym off campus that has a lap pool, because swimming is really the only form of exercise I think is actually fun. Biking is another, but I like mixing the two.
