Hi!

I do not know the answer to your question but just an F.Y.I. for anyone who reads this who has these fun spots -- you may want to try a product called Dermablend. And no, this is not a shameless plug. A make-up artist friend of mine uses it and says it covers ANYTHING (scars, all sorts of skin spots, moles, etc.) and highly recommends it for anything you want to cover. It doesn't mask things like foundation but I guess it really COVERS. Anyway, I thought a few of you ladies might want to try it. You can't get it everywhere but some major department stores carry it in their cosmetic departments. I believe Marshall Fields carries it. But please, use this in conjunction with doing something for your insulin resistance! God bless! Tera
