Answer 2

Usually when you sweat, if you rub your skin, it peels off, and it looks like little black pieces, they're harmless, it happens to everyone.  I believe they're dead skin cells.

Edit: Yeah, it might be skin peeling, but you could check with a doctor if you think it's that bad and not normal.  By the way, for Max-OT, is it alright to not do exercises if they're too stressful on my back, because of surgery?

Edit: I doubt I can do any back exercises or exercises involving the back too much, actually, I'm supposed to take it really easy with my back.

Edit: Ok, I guess I wanna try Max-OT without the back exercises, would it not be worth it, or you think I'll still benefit pretty good? Unless I should do something else.

Edit: I think I can workout my shoulders and traps though, I've been doing workouts for those, like shoulder press for deltoids and shrugs for traps, my traps are naturally pretty big already anyway.

Answer 3

you might ask a doctor it could me a metal contamination, I know the aluminum in deodorant can blacken peoples skin. heavy metal in your system can make you ill, do you feel ill?

maybe it is skin, are you tan?
