Preview thumbnail for Welp finally figured out why I can't wear certain pants; These make my knees hypersenitive when I walk with long pants that aren't sweats or joggers; So far I tried some benzoyl peroxide(10%) and it sort of cleared up. Will keep trying to see if it doesn't break it out like exfoliating it did. image
