My casting call for naked TV programme.

Absolutely not! My little Gs asked me why I'm so crumbly yesterday! I've never been one to flaunt my body even when it was size 8 many moons ago. I can't even bare looking at it in a full length mirror myself.

Wear your blemishes with pride! I am covered in those horrid crusty things - seborrheic keratoses. I hate them, so it is just as well that no-one else has to look at them!

I have them too, but as my doctor explained that they are related to warts, I tried lathering mine in removing cream for theatrical make-up, just because that is what was on my dressing table.

I remembered having read years ago, that you should rub warts with pork fat to get rid of them, as if you keep air of them they wither and shrink.

I didn't really expect it to work, but as the one I had had on my neck last summer disappeared when I started using sun screen, I tried it.

The large one on my back has disappeared and one on the back of my knee which was getting so large it felt in the way every time I bent that knee has also gone, as has the one on my face!

So try whatever form of face cream or sun screen you usually use, ladies, and don't be discouraged and give up if nothing happens for a while. It took over a fortnight before I noticed a difference.

I put cream on them all when I undress at night.

Dowsabella sacré bleu what a vast expense, with my spider veins on the list for next winter this will be an expensive year. I think I’ll just have the one that hurts under my underwire removed, I can’t afford the rest ?

Just a bit of humour thrown in, but it is true!

Well done Espee. Yes, we need body positivity in this day and age when we see 'perfect' airbrushed bodies.

Go for it!

I'll pm you.

It’d be one of the very last things I’d do! I’m an extremely private person and think I look ok with my clothes on, but they hide a multitude of sins. My clothes give me confidence. I’ve always had low self-esteem, so can’t understand anyone wanting to reveal themselves. I’d be so embarrassed, I just couldn’t cope with it. If someone wants to do it though, go ahead. It’s just not for me. Never has been, never will be.

DillytheGardener Sadly, SKs are no longer removed on the NHS as it is considered cosmetic! I would beg to disagree: I very much doubt any of the decision makers are old enough to have to put up with them. Cost about £200 per SK to go private. I wonder if they would do a discount for quantity...

Oh damn! A few years ago our practice nurse said she could remove them from my back. I never followed it up and now they are bigger and more of them I’d like to get rid of them but if you now have to pay I couldn’t afford it. I do find that scrubbing with a rough loofah helps and occasionally the surface peels off leaving a pale flat mole like mark.
Sorry to be so graphic, they are horrible things.

When I was expecting my 3rd, a nurse asked me if I’d like to earn a bit of money by posing naked for her husbands art group. They wanted someone as a subject to draw, who was a more interested shape than the near perfect bodies available as models. So out in this town which can only see me as an elderly lady with a figure well gone to seed, there could be drawings of a robust young woman bursting with vitality and the imminent birth of another life for her to watch over.
Go for it !!!!!!
Your great grandchildren may well be proud of you. Those of us around your age will certainly be

Go for it if you dare, I always admired Rydale WI's calendar.
Though I wouldn't myself, too many bumps and lumps in the wrong place.
I could like Sago offer my husband he is toned and honed after a weeks-long walk on the Pennine Way. Though it's a fight to get him to take even his socks off on holiday.

No, I wouldn’t want to terrify the viewers.

What intrigues me most is what you have done to suggest that you might be interested, Espee? Have you been on Naked attraction, maybe? Or Love Island?

@sunnysideup. Me neither. Mine was removed during surgery too. I think my abdomen looks like a dot to dot picture after so many operations. I don’t think this is for me. But I’m happy to support those who have the confidence. Go naked gransnetters!!!

Oh please do it and let us know the date it will be shown. I fear if I applied the show would be cancelled

Why would I want to humiliate my self publicly on a TV show whose audience is likely to be men laughing at the participants.

Oh you've all cheered me up no end..Back to sorting the magazines now though....?

GrammyG-?

If you have the confidence then definitely go for it Espee. You’re very brave. Don’t think I could do it although I’m quite unique in that I don’t have a belly button! It was removed during major surgery.

Surely no Dermatologist worth their salt would just dismiss those as that?and do NOTHING when your G.p clearly thought they were enough of a problem to refer you.? I'd ask for a 2nd opinion of a younger more insightful dermatologist if i were you Yogagran.?

If you have no sense of modesty and self respect and want the wicked word porn-gawking at your body then go for it. If however, you are better than you ought to be then just say 'no' and keep your clothes on.

Its a real show? How weird.??

Esspee "Got them too on my face, couldn’t remember what they were called."
The dermatologist that I was referred to told me that my various skin lumps and scabby bits were "the barnacles of life"

The very idea fills me with horror! Nobody-but nobody-sees me without a protective layer of clothes and have not for many years! Even my ex husband (may explain why he is my ex-although perhaps not…!). I don’t even like swimsuits much although I am a smallish size 10 and I’m told I look ok. Can’t understand the current trend for baring all! My daughters,-NOT my son-are quite uninhibited about nudity to my embarrassment! It seems to be a modern trend allied with a peculiar mixture of social media pressure and the body positivity movement (the latter, no bad thing). Wonder what they’ll all think about it when they reach our ages when in addition to all the normal signs of ageing, their bodies might reveal surgical scars etc from all the ‘enhancing’ procedures they’ve had?!

You all with the crusty things should ask for a referral to dermatology shouldn't you?? It was all in the article, in a magazine I'd not read from last year.(having a clear out so flicked through some articles)
