Bumps on back of arms??

Question

I have these bumps on the backs of my arms?? How to get rid of them??? Please help.

Answer 1

If they are reddish bumps that can sometimes, but not always, be itchy (especially in the winter if you live in a cold climate), then it is most likely keratosis pilaris.  It is a benign skin condition that is more unsightly than anything else.  I know this as I have had it for years.  

Some people find using a buff and a shower gel effective.  Personally, I have tried just about every moisturizer on the market with limited success until I found KP duty on the dermadoctor website.  It is formulated just for keratosis pilaris.  It is somewhat pricy (about $30 a tube), but it is worth it for me as I can go out again in a tank top and not be embarrassed!  

Another great thing about dermadoctor is they are signed up through buyforcharity.com and a percentage of your purchase will go to the charity of your choice.

Hope it works for you!

Answer 2

It's probably Dermatitis. If it is Dermatitis, then visit a dermatologist. I had Dermatitis once and i got rid of it by using Aveeno cream on it and taking warm baths in Aveeno oatmeal. (and no, its not the oatmeal you eat for breakfast.)

Answer 3

I had that too when I was about 10, just scrub with a hard core cleansing foam with granulates in it. 'Rub and scrub' the foam with a rough cloth. I personally used St. Ives Apricot Scrub and scrubbed it with a slightly dampened bath sponge so it was rough. I also used a nail brush.
