Or served in Korea? You may want to do a search on Agent Orange exposure. The VA has added more ailments or conditions to the list, one of them is Chloracne. As you read this article, you'll see:
Symptoms include excessive oiliness of the skin and the appearance of numerous blackheads, often accompanied by fluid-filled cysts and dark body hair. In mild cases, blackheads may be limited to the area around the eyes, extending along the temples to the ears. In more severe cases, blackheads also may appear in other places, especially over the cheek bone area, other facial areas, behind the ears, and along the arms. Severe chloracne may lead to open sores and permanent scars.
I've had a growth removed from my throat, and have dealt with prostrate problems, among other things. It's a good idea to keep up on the latest.
I remember my arms covered with black spots. I went to the corpsman about it, and was told I didn't wash well enough. Bullshit, I scrubbed the hell out of my arms and it never helped.
If you know, or are, someone with strange ailments or conditions, or experienced birth defects in your family, you may want to contact the VA.
