I don't break out anywhere else... and they drive me nuts. Just these red little bumps. Is it a friction thing? Is it something else? They must die!!

It's when your legs are heavier than they should be.  If you're female and wear pantyhose, the dye only irritates it all the more.  Best thing to do is maintain your weight to where your legs won't rub together.  That, and dry properly after getting that area wet.  Every once in a while you could probably use a talcum or medicated powder to help with the friction.

Sorry to hear that and I know how uncomfortable they can be. My best guesses are: Are you taking antibiotics such as tetracycline? They've been known to cause infections like this. Also, it may be an allergic reaction to your undergarments (I like cotton for this reason) and/or pantyhose. It could be from tight clothing rubbing, feminine hygiene products or perhaps an overly vigorous sex life. The other thing it might be is some sort of imflammation due to an infection such as candidiasis or cervicitis (especially if there's itching). In any case, since you are experiencing these regularly (you don't say how often though) a trip to your doctor is in order. This is a fairly common type of situation and your doctor will know best how to treat it. I've found some relief with taking acidophilis tablets, but you really need to see your doctor to rule anything serious out since there's a good chance it won't go away on its own and will keep recurring. \nI wish you well.

Yes.. infact I went to the lake a couple of days ago and forgot repelent. I have 4 on my face right now. It's awful! It looks like I'm breaking out terribly!

I get them too, and I seem to notice them at the same time you do -- maybe it's because we are finally resting or whatever, so they seems to stand out compared to when we are rushing about during the day.  I was told they can be from anxiety even if you aren't feeling especially anxious at that particular moment.  I got scared when they kept happening to me, and that's what my doctor said she thought was causing it.  If you have had an EKG, though, I think you are pretty safe.  I'm sort of glad to know I'm not the only one!

Dr. Drew on LOve Line says that it is probably normal muscle spasms..........i have experienced this once or twice myself and , yes, it is weird! try massaging them a little when it happens.

It could be a sebaceous cyst. They're quite often close to the surface and you can sometimes squeeze white gunge out of them. They're harmless. It might be as well for you to have it checked though.

I also have the same problem and I usually get this more often in the spring and summer so I think, for me, it is allergy related.  I usually use a dab of Polysporin (antibiotic ointment) to help and it does.\n\nThe site listed has a lot of info on this subject.  Hope it helps!

they are probably just harmless cists that grow on the skin. they are like pimples but have more goo in them and come back in the same spots

What you probably have is Molluscum Contagiosum.  It is really easy to get rid of.  Just go to your dermatologist and they will either freeze them or remove them with a sharp device.  Removal should be painless or very little pain.  These are contagious and can spread if you scratch them.  Don't try and pop them...this will spread the rash.

Hmmm...\n\nI still think they are hives.  A minor case may only stay around for a day or two.  Hard to tell, but if they really start bothering you, go to a free clinic, to be safe.\nYour health is more important than money.\n\n Another possibility is ringworm ( a fungus), but I think it stays for a while without medicine.\n\nHere is another idea.  Go to your nearest pharmacy the next time you break out.  Then ask the pharmacist what he thinks you can put on it.  He/she might recognize the rash and be able to help you...\n\nGood luck!  Let me know ok?

It sounds like a problem with your diet. I hope the dermatologist has some answers for you.

Oh my gosh, you mean there are others? Are you a pretty pale person like me? I get it a lot. I can get it from really hot (heat hot, not spicy hot) foods too - like soup.  I get it from wine sometimes too. Everyone asks me why my nose turns red.  The dermatologist just said it was blood vessels and due to my skin being so light, it looks a lot more prominent. I find that if I keep very well hydrated, it is a little less extreme.  So glad to know someone else has that problem too!

I've gotten those, too. The best thing to do is wear a shirt with a softer seam or try a tank top. They won't go away completely until you stop working out in those shirts with rough seams that rub your skin.

If they are on you upper arms, they are probably okay.  Someone told me that if you consume a lot of dairy products, you will get those red bumps.  You can go to the dermatologist if it bothers you.  I'm sure its nothing though.

It sounds like keratosis pilaris.  This is a skin condition that causes little bumps that look like goosebumps.  Usually it's found on the upper arms and thighs.  It's completely harmless and affects at least 50% of people.  There is no cure for it, but some people have luck with moisturizers and exfoliants.  I have it on my upper arms and I haven't found anything that gets rid of it.
