My AN's are yellowish/brownish, velvety...pretty ugly...looks like dirt. I have it on my neck, thighs, under my boobs and lately on the back on my lower calves above my ankles and top of feet toward my toes...strange!!! Mine aren't itchy.

Janet - is AN red when it starts out? I thought AN was always yellow or yellow-ish brown, sometimes turning dark and velvety, never itchy??? I don't have it really bad (just some yellowish spots on ankles and knees) so I'm not sure. I'd never heard of it being red before.
