Wrinkles on upper arms due to weight loss
Common Questions and Answers about Wrinkles on upper arms due to weight loss
wrinkles
up until about 3 mo. ago, nice, skin, no wrinkles on arms or legs and as if over night, skin on arms looks like a 500 yr. old, deep wrinkles and saggin 'wing' under my upper arms. i exercise my arms so it looks really bad, i can still make a muscle but arms look horrible. 4 yrs. into post menopause, i read something about cipro, i was given an rx for that before this happened? 500 mg. twice a day for 14 days. could that be what happened and how would i know?
But yeah, I ended up gaining about 6 pounds on the Triple Tx, and I look flabby, but I was getting so wrinkled in the face, that the extra weight kind of poofed out the wrinkles, hah
I remember you mentioning you were worried about being too thin, so if I were you, I would get proactive, and try to put a little weight on, so you dont worry about the weight loss later on.
In college I lifted weight for 3 weeks and got a thick stretch mark on my arm. I said fine, I just don't have to lift weights. At 21 I got some fine stretch marks on my hip from working at a restaurant. Life will go on. At 24, I developed a double wrinkle around my neck, thinning of the skin over the clavicles, and rosacea (what a year!). I thought it was from the jock itch cream I was taking and I waited for the wrinkles to fill back in which they didni't. Then I forgot about it.
Cervical radiculopathy in relationship to osteoporosis could be behind this phenomenon.
Perhaps Gabapentin would be of great help.
Do discuss with your doc.

this is getting worse and is sometimes associated with pain. It's most prominent in both lower legs but is now appearing to travel up my torso and is in my arms.
I just wanted to ask if there was any excersize i could do to tone my upper arms and stomach. The first time i lost the weight i did 1000 stomach crunches a day & that seemed to keep my stomach flat but i'm worried that the skin, not the muscles, is sagging on my arms & stomach. I know that this can happen when people loose alot of weight. I have bought some weights to help tone my arms but dont know which techniques to try.
Approximately 5 days ago the skin on both arms sagged. A lot. I have always had tone arms and they have changed so drastically that all I can do is keep looking and cry. I now have the flap of fatty skin hanging down and my forearm is showing loose skin also.
Could someone please tell me what is happening, I am scared. It's come on so suddenly. I really don't have much in the way of symptoms of periomenopause, so I am not sure what is going on.
Now that I am over 60 any weight I lose makes me flabby especially my upper arms and thighs. I look fine in clothes but horrible in a swimsuit. I have tried every exercise including weight training. Do I have to accept a wrinkly ugly body in exchange for being a healthy weight. And no I can't afford plastic surgery.
Hi Sami, You may need to look around the lady's cosmetic store and ask what help they have for under the eyes, but you could try aloe vera gel rubbed in twice a day.
But please google bags under the eyes, you find some better useful answers than I can come up with, but some are not cheap, but things like this could come from you being of Asian descent.
My symptoms are itching body (upper arms, hands, legs, thighs,scalp, and feet), flaky skin (arms mostly), dull pain in my abdominal area( kidney area mostly), oral thrush for 2 weeks(no longer present), weight loss (have gained weight back now). My active symptoms have been on going for about 6 months now. I am positive for hsv1. Thanks for any help in advance.
I have been working out 2 hours (1 hour cardio+ 1 hour strength training) every day for a little over the past month and so far I have only lost 2 pounds. My weight has gone down to 136 but always goes back up to 137 after a couple days. I watch my calorie intake very carefully and consume 1800 daily, only eating healthy, non-processed foods (fruits, veggies, fish, brown rice and only complex carbs) plus Kashi products and make sure to get around 110g of protein and over 100% RDI fiber daily.
Last year, April 2015, i started having lose stool, few hives on arms, legs on and off and general feeling of GI distress. My morning would start with nausea, belching, lose stool, and feeling of being shocked. This would especially happen if I have eaten a day before something fatty and hard for stomach. In 3 months I lost about 25 pounds. When symptoms started i had 215lbs, and by the end of August I was on 178lbs. I did change my diet while symptoms were present, but not drastically.
Is it safe to apply the Atralin to my problem areas (upper arms, legs, and lower abdomen) every night during my weight loss? I expect to reach my goal weight in April 2012 (7 months from now). I plan to see a dermatologist in early 2012 to discuss lasers and dermabrasion, but I want to know what I can do in the meantime. Thank you.

Inability to lose weight is frequently due to low metabolism due to being hypothyroid. You really need additional testing beyond TSH. TSH is a pituitary hormone that is affected by so many variables, that it is totally inadequate as the sole diagnostic for thyroid. At best it is an indicator to be considered along with more important indicators such as symptoms, and also levels of the biologically active thyroid hormones, Free T3 and Free T4 (not the same as Total T3 and Total T4).
Ladies, I empathize with all of you completely. I am a post-menopausal 60 yr old who, I am told by everyone I know & many I don't, that I look 45 - which is great to hear, but when the summer clothes come out I could just cry (and do). Weigh 112, but my butt, thighs and upper arms are a disaster. The saggy skin, dry wrinkly skin, bumpy skin....where did it all come from?
severe nausea, total lack of appetite, steatorrhea, weight loss 14 lbs, lower abdominal pain, near constipation (have had Crohn's 28 yrs and always have had diarrhea), upper right quadrant pain after eating only a yoghurt, radiating to armpit, shoulder and neck. Saw GP 4 weeks ago - prescribed omeprazole. Got urgent appt 2 weeks ago with gastro,prescribed domperidone for nausea, doubled omeprazole.CT scan 6/26 pancreas,liver abdomen,pelvis. Upper GI endoscopy 7/99 July.
My forearms have been darker than the rest of my body for awhile now, and I would like to have an even skin tone. My legs, stomach, back, upper arms... basically anything that is covered up during the year is way lighter than my forearms. I wanted to know if there is anyway to get my forearms to match the rest of my body, it is somewhat embarrassing, and I don't want to tan since I really don't want wrinkles.
