skin problems


Question Posted Sunday March 20 2005, 7:17 pm

Ok I have these little bumps in some place my skin (such as my legs, knees, elbows, and back of my upper arms). They're the same color as my skin and aren't big or anything, but I don't know how to get rid of them. I asked my mom and she just told me to scrub my skin more in the shower...but it isn't helping. It just looks like I have small goose bumps on me constantly!
How can I get rid of them? I will rate you well if you give a good answer!

It could be dry skin!! Use lotion like 2-3 times a day & keep scrubbing in the shower!! :)

It could be from dry skin or from a skin condition. See a dermatologist and they'll give you something for it or in the mean time see if it is dry skin and moisturize regulary.

It's because you have dry skin. Just put a good thick lotion on the spots you have it. And when you go to bed put the lotion on really thick and after a while your skin won't be like that.

I have that as well. Keratosis, I believe.... just talk to a dermatologist about it, they can prescribe a special lotion that will fix you right up! Nothing wrong with it really, but I found the bumps to be a tad bit annoying :P <3 EJ

I went to dermatologist and they told me I have keratosis plaris (im PRETTY sure thats the spelling). Type it in on google, and look at the pictures and see if its the same thing you have.
Please rate! Hope I helped!

My friend had a similiar problem. It ended up to be just really dry skin, nothing serious.

Try a good moisturizer. Anything by Aveeno is excellent (my dermatologist highly recommends this brand).

If that doesn't work, you might want to ask your mom to take you to a dermatologist. A dermatologist can take one look at your skin and tell you exactly what's going on, and how to fix it. They usually will tell you to use items that are cheap, that you can find at the grocery store. If a perscription is necessary, make sure they prescribe a generic brands. As a pharmacy tech, I know that generic brands are EXACTLY the same as name brands, and they often cost less.
