Don't try to self-diagnose and don't try to self-medicate on something you aren't knowledgeable about.

Medicines can stop working on people after long period use. We become immune to it. That's why too much use of antibiotics is bad and doctors change the antibiotic around. If you had penicillin the last time, then they prescribe a different antibiotic the next time so you don't become immune to them.

Go see a DERMATOLOGISTS. He will know immediately the problem and prescribe a different medicine, and might take skin scrapings to check under a microscope to verify the problem/illness/disease/disorder.

But your medicine is no longer effective on you and needs to be changed. Plus, you might have been misdiagnosed in the beginning-- who knows? Doctors can be wrong you know.

Medical science has changed and advanced alot since you were 8 years old.

See a DERMATOLOGIST. He's a specialist.

Hey. Well, I think the black dots may be black heads. You want to go to the store and get a blackhead eliminating scrub, from companies like Clean and Clear, or Nuetrogina [spelling]. As for the red bumps, a lot of people I know have them. It's a possibility they may be egsima [spelling?]. You should ask your doctor about it, and he may be able to give to a special antibiotic cream to help it. If it isn't egsima, then you should clean your arms with warm water every night & morning, and put this stuff called Witch Hazel on it. You can get it at the grocery store, it's amazing, it fixes everything. Hope I helped :].
