I think everyone else pretty much covered everything, and I think it's just stress too. My family has a history of skin cancer (fair-skinned people should ALWAYS wear sunblock!!), and I've never heard of a spot that was just dry. You can usually tell if they're cancerous if they're abnormally shaped or a weird color. And besides, you started off with a stress list! Well, I hope you can learn to calm down enough, maybe just take one of them at a time? Idk. Oh, and getting your b/f a present is definitly hard! I'm having the hardest time too, because he's pretty much my first b/f and he's so hard to shop for! So, I think I'll get him some pocky and maybe make a really cute card or drawing or something! They're supposed to like things made from the heart - right?
Well, good luck on finals and finding a job and everything else! c:
Yosei-chan! I'm sure you don't have skin cancer! Everything's gonna be alright. It is most likely hives. I would suggest going to get it checked out. But for now I'm sure you'll be fine, okies? We're here for you.
Stress. We both know it all to well. I hope you do well on finals, getting the internet up, living up to your parent's expectations (which I'm sure you do), doing well with diabetes and getting a job. I'm sure you'll do great with them all Yosei-chan always pulls through!
I hope that things work out with you right now Yosei-chan. I know your probably don't have skin cancer. Good luck with everything else, and remember I'm just a chat/PM away!

I should be able to talk you into crossing off a couple of things from your list.
A list of my stresses:
*I need to find a job- no success so far
*College- need to think a future plan to help pay of loans
*College- homework is piling up
*Homework- 70% of my homework is done online, and my internet has been down for the last week or two, FUCK!
*Boyfriend- he's buying me all these things for christmas and I have yet to find a THING for him! He's hard to shop for, first off, but also, I'm poorer than a church mouse, where as he seems to be doing fine financially.
*Diabetes- that's a CONSTANT stress, to be honest
*College- I would like to do well
*College- FINALS are soon!
*Parents- I'm eternally afraid of not living up to their expectations or disappointing them
Shooting down the first stress: The current market isn't good for job hunting so you're not exactly in an exclusive club with that issue. Besides, it's the Holiday Season. Most people get second and third jobs around this time of year so it's bound to be almost impossible. You shouldn't worry about this one because of the season. Try hunting around February, places often hire more in preparation for the tax season spending spree.
Shooting down the second stress: You live in America so this one isn't exactly a surprise. Collage costs a lot, but most places don't expect you to pay as you learn. You should be able to work out a payment plan for after graduation without much trouble if you pester 'em enough.
SDT Third and Fourth stresses: Try going to a library. Joining one is fairly inexpensive and their internet services are fairly reliable. Granted, you might want to wipe down the keyboard before you use it. 0.0 Some people use library computers to look up porn.
SDT Fifth stress: It's the thought that counts~ I'm sure he'll be happy with whatever you get him, as long as it isn't something he's allergic to.
SDT Sixth stress: 0.0 I'm not shooting that one down anytime soon...
SDT Seventh stress: If you put in the effort then you won't walk away empty handed.
SDT Eighth stress: Finals are always stressful, no changing that. Hell, even I suffer a little physical strain from finals.
SDT Ninth stress: Parents will never be 100% satisfied with their children. Even if you do exactly what they want to the letter they're still gonna be disappointed because they'll think you're incapable of thinking for yourself. Parents are never satisfied completely, but that doesn't mean that they're not proud of you. Try to let this one slide. You're a good guy, your parents are bound to be proud of you.
*Takes in a deep breath and stretches* And that should take care of that little list of yours. Now, to fight your skin stress.
It's probably seasonal dryness or stress. Well, it's most likely stress. 0.0 If it was dryness then they would probably be cracked and bleeding occasionally, like my left hand.
its ok! Its gonna be fine! have you tried putting lotion on them? or using body wash? I agree if you are that stressed then you are probably just getting some rashes on your skin
for some people do get rashes when they are stressed, I have gotten them once or twice too, so it should be nothing to worry about
if your that worried then you could potentially get them checked by a doctor

You'll be fine, Yosei! Don't stress out over the unknown! And I hope it's not skin cancer (obviously) OR hives. Maybe your skin is just dry and you need to exfoliate it! Hives suck, I had an allergic reaction to some medicine one time and got them all over my body. I seriously thought I was going to die... >_>
But you should find some time for yourself! Stress will cause gray hair don't you know. Just take everything one step at a time, okay? If you can get past one giant task the rest won't seem so bad (ex. I'm focusing most of my worry on SATs this Saturday, and less on Christmas gifts and Midterms).
Also if you need ideas for cheap gifts.... IOU's always work, not like you'll be financially troubled forever. Or something homemade. Like a coupon book for different stuff like a free hug or whatever. Boyfriends eat that kind of cutesie stuff for breakfast. :P
YOSEI D: *Super uber hugs* I HOPE IT HIVE OR MY NAME ISN'T STAR which is not. Ok *serious mode* I read your post. I would say it the skin rash(A) cause one of my family member had dry skin around the cold season and by spring it gone and also dude to stress. Also I research on-line and Im 100% sure is NOT the skin thing (B) cause it doesn't sound what u have. Is Good to get a check up first. I'll pray to you Yosei. Everyone here for you.
Yeah, I was talking with my b/f about it further and he says skin cancer doesn't run in my family, nor do I get that part of my body out into the sun often enough for it to be skin cancer. So, we're 95% sure it's hives... this just means I need a break and I need to do something about my stress. So far, the stress is causing me this issue, I need to be careful. His mother had this same problem when SHE was in college and it almost killed her. TT^TT But, I think I'll be okay... I just need to calm down and hope for the best.
Aw, nooo! Yosei, don't die on us!!!! D: I hope it's hives. I had those for a while, and it was just hives, so maybe you're in luck. And I hope you get through finals! Those are tough!
