Bumps


Question Posted Wednesday June 21 2006, 7:41 pm

I have these little bumps on my arms and just a few on my face. They dont show at all but when you touch my face or arms you can feel them. It's not bad enough to go to the doctors for. I've tried a lot of things but none of them are really working! help!

I have the same thing. It is a dermatological condition known as keratosis pilaris. I went to the dermatologist and was given a salycilic acid cream, but it didn't work. Luckily enough, I inadvertently found a moisturizer that solved the problem! It is Aveeno Ultra-Calming Daily Moisturizer (this is the link, [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)). It completely got rid of the bumps and redness! Even though it says to use in the morning, I use it at night because I don't need to moisturize in the morning. I hope this works for you!

Ooohh yeah, I know what you're talking about.
They might be sun bumps! I use to get those.
Unfortunately, there isn't any type of lotion or creme that you can get for it at a drugstore. You have to go to a dermotologist and they perscribe it for you. I wish i knew an easier way to get the stuff but I don't! Sorry! Hope it helped.

Hey, it's most likely dry skin! Any lotion/cream will help. Try to find one that says on the bottle 'for dry/rough' skin. Put in on your arms a lot every night, no your face just a little. (You don't want it to get greasy, then end up getting acne) My brother had them and he used this stuff called AmLactin. Ah, it worked so good! In about a month he was cleared, and it's never come back! He only applies it like once a week now. He got it from his dermatologist, but she told us you can get it at any grocery store for under 8 dollars! Good luck, girl!

BROOKE :]
