its called keratosis or chicken skin\ni also have it and have tried everything from expensive to cheap(cheaps better)\ni tried dermacare(didn't help) what does is a salycic body wash like neutrogena(but it dried out my skin) so what works is gonna sound crazy to you...a 3% salycic acid shampoo/conditioner the acid for the bumps the conditioner so your skin wont dry out...denorex makes one,but it's kinda cold,so go look for the denorex and look on the side of it...usually theres some off cheaper brand that dont cool your skin as much,but denorex does work...and u have to use a loofah daily...chicken skin has little white looking type pimples on arms and thigh..some people get on face and butt...look on images under keratosis

This is what I think you have. I suggest going to a Dermatoligist to determine what this is.  It could be an allergy.  It could be an infection.  But I also have these red bumps.  All over right now because of the cold weather.  When I get cut, when I get hot, when I am cold, when I run, they itch, burn, and hurt.  I use hydrocortizone to cure the itching.  I hope you find the answer your looking for.\n\nKeratosis pilaris (KP) is a very common genetic follicular disease that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin and hence colloqually referred to as "chicken skin". Primarily, it appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms, but can also occur on thighs and buttocks or any body part except glabrous skin (like the palms or soles of feet). Worldwide, KP affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents. It is more common in women than in men. Varying in degree, cases of KP can range from minimal to severe.\n\nThere are several different types of keratosis pilaris, including keratosis pilaris rubra (red, inflamed bumps), alba (rough, bumpy skin with no irritation), rubra faceii (reddish rash on the cheeks) and related disorders.\n\nMost people with keratosis pilaris do not know they carry it. While KP resembles goose bumps, it is characterized by the appearance of small rough bumps on the skin. As a result, it is often confused with acne.\n\nKeratosis pilaris tends to occur as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates around hair follicles (process known as hyperkeratinization). Unattractive more than anything else, it most often appears as a proliferation of tiny hard bumps that are seldom sore or itchy. Though people with keratosis pilaris experience this condition year round, it’s during the colder months when moisture levels in the air are lower that the problem can become exacerbated and the “goose bumps” are apt to look and feel more pronounced in color and texture.\n\nAlthough exfoliation, intensive moisturizing cremes, and medicated lotions containing alpha-hydroxy acids or urea may improve the appearance and texture of affected skin, results are not permanent. There is no known cure for this condition

I HAD THIS SAME THING!  ugh, its so annoying, haha.  its probably really dry skin or a harmless fungus.  what i did was use a moisturizer daily and about every other day i put on hydrocortisone (ointment for dry skin) and tolnaftate (an anti-fungal cream).  both of these you can get over the counter at your local pharmacy and are safe and effective to use.  after a month or so i still have some SLIGHT discoloring, but it is not nearly as noticable as it was before and no longer bothers me.  i also got a tan, too, which might have helped!  if this doesn't work, you will probably have to see a doctor or a dermatologist to get a stronger cream or different diagnosis.

It doesn't sound like you have scabies.  Scabies is a "bug" that burrows under the skin and itches like a son of a gun.  It is not something that just goes away and the comes back.  You may be having some sort of allergy to something your eating, or medication your may be taking.  Also, you need to describe what the infection looks like, i.e. rash, vesicles, bumps, etc.  My advise is to see your doctor.  If you doctor is unsure of what it is, they can refer you to a dermatologist.  Good luck, and don't wait any longer to see your doctor..two months is long enough to go with this issue.

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

Honestly you should go to the Dr. \n\nThere are any number of reasons you get spots on your palms. \nJust a few are allergies, eczema and psoriasis though if you've been camping recently it could be lyme disease. \n\nYou mihgt not to party this week or drink too much. But you should also see a dermatologist.

sounds to me like you may have eczema.  it usually flares up from stress.\n\nIf you have eczema, at first your skin may feel hot and itchy. Then, if you scratch, your skin may become red, inflamed, or blistered.

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.

If it doesn't seem to go away after a few days, I'd suggest you see a dermatologist or general doctor. It could be your skin was just irritated when you got the scrape, if something got on the area and you hadn't cleaned it (I have no idea of course but I'm assuming you were barefoot, if there was fertilizer/chemicals on someones grass and you walked through it, or something like that). Was the scrape really bad, like bleeding, or just sort of red and scratched up? I doubt it's infected, but if you're concerned if it doesn't go away in a day or two, or you have any other new symptoms, definitely just go to a doctor to make sure. You may need an antibiotic. I also think you should put Neosporin on it and see if that helps. Good luck!

That sounds like hormones messing with your skin if you ask me. You havent specified if youre male or female....but sometimes, because of stress, extra hormones are triggered off in the body causing these itchy pimples. I had these aswell plus the flaky skin. You should go to the doctor and get some medication to clear it up.\nRemember not to overload your face with products, this will make the problem worse.\nHope it clears up soon!

Maybe you have sensitive skin. Be sure to always use a new razor, but in your case it will probably still irritate the skin. I would suggest letting it grow out and then prepare for pain...waxing! The results will last for weeks and hopefully you won't be red under the arm for more than a few hours.

I know what you are going through, I also have that problem.  It's called hyperhidrosis.  I use a roll on liquid that dries your skin out.  Ask a dermitologist what you could do, there are a few different options.

I don't really know a specific name for them. You should see a dermatologist cuz it could be something else. You may also be allergic to something.

little red bumps are little ingrown hairs.\ndont shave against the growth anywhere - armpits are the most common wrong way shave - shave up, not down.\nYou can get ingrown hair removing lotion that may help.
