I found this doll at a thrift store wrapped just like this in plastic that reads "Hong Kong" looked it up and it seems to be a marx Sindy doll which I know nothing about but looking into it it originally came in a box. Does anyone know why it would have been packaged like this? I'm sure this isn't something people would be making fakes of lol and it's exactly like the new in box ones I've seen online.

• Thank you for all the very helpful replies! The bottom of the baggie wasn't sealed but didn't look like it ever had been. And if it was a seller putting her into a new bag I can't imagine why it would say "Hong Kong" so I'm thinking it did originally come this way as some have said. Also in the boxes she didn't have plastic on her hair like she does here and it doesn't look like she's ever been posed like in the box either so I'm going with it came like this lol very cool find for me either way thank you all!!!*

To start I have always had major skin picking issues since I was a kid and a few years ago I started picking this spot on the left side of my lip basically everyday for a while which explains why there's also the very visible scarred area on that side as well.

Once I left it alone and it finally fully healed it scarred up but wasn't at all bumpy. Later I'm not sure when exactly but below my lip in the same area got this dry bumpy patch. The bumps are pretty flat and sometimes they aren't red and irritated like they are in the images so they aren't even really noticeable. The area has very very slowly spread but I haven't noticed it changing size in a while.The area can be very sensitive at times to products and sometimes will randomly itch a bit but nothing crazy. I think it also tends to get more irritated and itch when I'm hot/sweaty.

I'm thinking maybe it's related to the repeated damage I was causing by skin picking but I'm not sure how?

I've never seen a derm and cannot afford to unfortunately

I do have A type of eczema you get on hands and feet , Dyshidrosis I believe. I haven't been diagnosed though and am not sure if that's relevant.

Almost a decade ago I also believe I had perioral dermititis around my mouth and eyes and that's what I initially thought it was but the bumps are more flat and don't itch nearly as much or get as red. (Weirdly enough clotramizol fungal cream got rid of that for me)

I also do get oral cold sores and have gotten them in that area before but I always take antivirals so I rarely get them and if so they never really develope because of the meds

I have tried various different toothpastes, non fluoride, non mint.

I don't use any drinking straws, metal or otherwise or anything like that on a regular basis

I do vape and drink but no changes with usage were made at the time

I've tried clotramizol fungal cream and zinc rash cream but nothing has made any difference at all but Vaseline helps with texture

If anyone has any tips or guesses as what this could be I appreciate it thanks you!
