Re: Nonfandom Confessions

As far as I know, it's because it resembles a skin disease. Or at least, that's how a friend of mine that has it explained it to me. She said, she couldn't stop imagining her skin getting full of holes that dug onto her until reaching the flesh.

Is there an actual disease that looks like that, though?

Re: Nonfandom Confessions

I'm pretty sure there isn't. The closest thing is having pores, and that's, you know, normal.

The thing that interests me is that it seemed like practically everyone had it for a while there, and it kind of happened overnight. Like one person mentioned it somewhere and a bunch of people got it in their heads and spread the idea further.

Re: Nonfandom Confessions

Yeah, I remember. It was like some kind of memetic epidemy. An Anon in another comment made it clear there's no disease like that, it's in Snopes and everything. But (I'm sorry, I'm just going to C&P this): "Though, the disease may not be real, but what my friend tried to explain to me, was what she felt in her own skin whenever she saw pictures of too many circles too close together." I don't think she was making up the panic attack she had... so it's extra-weird for me. I'll give it the benefit of doubt, whether it is a legit phobia, or just hive-mind panic.

Like I said downthread, I think it was a legit mass hysteria. Which is just something that happens over a lot of weird things.

I think your friend may have been confused by an urban legend that was called Lotus Disease or something like that. http://www.snopes.com/photos/medical/breastrash.asp (picture of lotus seeds photoshoped over a nipple. Obviously not real, but kinda disturbing still). Total bunk. As far as I know there's no skin disease that actually does that, though real ones can get really nasty too.

Re: Nonfandom Confessions

I'm not clicking at that |'D Sorry. I don't have the phobia but it's kind of nasty-looking either way.

Understood. Though, the disease may not be real, but what my friend tried to explain to me, was what she felt in her own skin whenever she saw pictures of too many circles too close together.

Seriously though, just thinking of that picture gives me the shudders something awful. I have a thing about holes/parasites/objects in/under the skin. Like, I've actually had gross dreams about removing (improbable) objects from under my skin or having holes in my body. I've even been squicked out by especially large/deep pimples on occasion. Also bot fly larvae. Bot fly larvae are nightmares incarnate.

But yeah. Lotus pods, that toad with eggs in its skin, some clusters of insect eggs (but not bee hives), and such give me the serious heebiejeebies. Not like, legit phobia reactions, but definite visceral response.
