These bumps are most likely from dry skin. Most people suggest lotion, however, this will usually clog your pores. One great way to eliminate these bumps is to use a technique called Dry Skin Brushing. You simply take a natural brissled brush with a long handle and, starting at your feet, brush your skin toward your heart. Do your entire body. You can google dry skin brushing for more info on the technique. There are countless benefits of doing this. Do this on dry skin just before showering. It only takes a few minutes. You should be able to find a brush at Walmart for less than $10. Good luck!

Well m ybro. used to have those they have gone away so they will go away so don't worry about it!

im betting just dry skin

Try not to stress about it! Go to a dermatoligist and see what they have to say about it. Chances are that its just a skin rash and a cream will be able to clear it.

get over it.

i also hve them omg there so annoying my friends thing there goosbumps but there not

My friend has them too but hers are starting to go away so just leave them alone and they will.

Its acne!! 3 of my friends have the same thing and they went to the dermatoligist and he said it was acne. So they got this speacial cream for it! If you dont think its acne or just want to be sure id go to the dermitoligist!!!

duuude thats like caratosis or somethin like thatt get lotion..definately
]
yeah that is probably acne... I have that too i was born with it but they fade away after a while... I think you should maybe just go to the doctor and ask if there is any type of medicine that'll help

KP stands for keratosis pilaris and that could be what it is (hit Google for info). If it itches, it could be eczema. It could also be ingrown hairs. It might be a good idea to see a dermatologist to be sure, or at least talk to your mom about it.

this is a sign of dry skin.. make sure you use a good lotion everyday, especially after you shave or sumthin...

this is normal, you are not weird. you can have pimples everywhere on your body b/c a pimple is just a clogged pore.(sweat, dirt, grime, lint all clog pores up) it could be bugs, but that is unlikely. if you are worried, tell a parent and see a doc.

Okay I've read all of the answers here, and I really don't think you have those diseases- that's not white bumps, it's a large pink rash. However I have the same exact thing (in patches sorta) and I asked my best friends mom, who's a dermatoligist (skin doc) and she said...
These just mean your arms and thighs are dry. Exfoliate. Also, after the shower, dry off and put on a good lotion- try Bath and Body Works, they have really yummy winter scents right now. Hope I helped!

hey! i noticed those things, too. well i used to think i was the only one, but like everyone has them. its nothing bad, just wash it everyday. i'm not saying it'll go away right away, but it should go away after a while. there's a chance it might not, but its nothing to worry about. if it gets worse, go see a dermatologist. you can also put clearasil on it, i did that and they weren't as white. well tell me how it goes ... no worries! if you need more help, drop one in my inbox! laterzs! * xo - angie *

i have them too... my dermatoligist said they were fine...he gave me a medicated cream to put on them.. he calls it "sticky skin" its just cuz your growing up.. hope i helped erica .xOxO.

Listen, as much as I am sure that at least half the people on this site have medical degrees, I dont think you should be asking this here. See a doctor and make sure that its not something serious. Also note that EVERYONE before me had a different diagnosis- how realiable is that?
Btw, I have blood gushing out of my eyes, and I just crapped my kidneys out...is that serious?
]
it could just be exzema or however you spell it.. its normal so dont worry about it!
]
i think thats normal.. because.. this guy i used to like had that too.. and yeah.. and some of mai friends have it too.. so.. i dont think you should worry about it because.. its normal..for some people
]
hey! it is called KP. i forgot what it stands for but all they call it KP. go to a dermatologist and they will give you cream or medicine to put on it. you will grow out of it eventually but for the time being you just have to use the stuff!! --rachael
