Hi, alright, this may be really weird. but, i have these little red dots on my arms, they kind of look like pimples but not really. i think that they are just places where the hair on my arm is growing weird or something, though they have never been a problem before and i have had hair on my arm for a long time, im 18. haha. anyways, there are like 10 of them on both arms combined and they arent very big, but noticeable. anyone know what they are / how to get rid of them. thanks.

Sounds like PK. Very common.\nThe K stands for keratosis, I forget what the P stands for.\nYou get red dots or bumps on your arms sort of like pimples but they aren't.\nGet some Aquaphor cream in a tube at the drugstore. It works like a charm if you put some on the spots every day.\nIt costs about $5.\nNOthing else works for this, I know, I have it.

How big are these spots?  It sounds like you are describing tinea versicolor, which is a fungal infection of the skin.  It is most commonly located on the chest, back, shoulders, and rarely goes below the waist or above the neck.  It tends to be worse in the summer, itches when you sweat or take a hot shower, and they will not tan (which is why they are more noticeable in the summer).  The treatment is with Selenium Sulfide Lotion, which will eliminate it temporarily, although it will likely recur again at some time in the future, because this fungus is ubiquitous and grows on you because of a particular lipid that is produced by your skin.  It is not contagious, and it is not dangerous.... \n\nbut first you would need an accurate diagnosis.  A rash can not be diagnosed online.  You should check with your doctor, and they can prescribe you the appropriate medication.

Stop worrying. Most of these things disappear with time. Spots don't last forever. It doesn't help you in the short term, but there are no miracle products that will make them all disappear instantly. Beware of steroidal creams.

It sounds like she has some pigmentation problems with her underarm skin.  She could see a dermatologist and ask what can be done..she may be able to get some sort of laser treatment.  Good luck!

Teenage spots? Do you mean Freckles or Acne? \nBe proud of your freckles, you'll miss then when you're older. If acne, try Neutrogena Rapid Clear face wash.

Do you mean flawless?  Well, that's something we all yearn for, but you didn't say what the spots were.  Are they zits, scars, freckles, moles?  What?  I presume you're talking about zits.  Drinking water will not make them go away, although drinking lots of water is good for the skin, as it hydrates it.  As for acne, there are lots of OTC meds you can buy in the drug store.  Or you can visit a dermatologist and see what he or she recommends.  Meanwhile, eat a good healthy diet -- cut down on sweets and fats, get plenty of rest, keep your hands off your face, clean your face thoroughly every night before bed, especially if you wear makeup.  It takes time to get a spot-free face, so it won't happen overnight.  Be patient and follow the advice of a dermatologist.  Good luck!

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.

Possibly birthmarks but you should have a doctor check them out.

It may be something you just never knew about, and always had. I have them, or something similar, on my arms. They look like blisters, and if I pick at them they either don't do anything or they bleed. \n\nThis is something that I've always had, and my mother said I had them as a baby. I also have eczyma, but the dermatologist says it has nothing to do with that, that this is just part of my skin, and there is nothing wrong with it, but it will always be there. Kinda frustrating. \n\nTalk to a dermatologist. They can tell you if it's a natural problem with your skin, or something like an allergic reaction to soap, sunscreen lotion, laundry detergent, or even changed chemicals in water.

my father has them and as a kid i always wondered what they were.  i ended up dating a girl with them so i found out that some folks call them skin tags or skin balls.  well just last year i found one in my inner thigh. i thought that it was an STD. (idiot!) so i went to the doctor. he told the medical name for it and assured me that it was not the result of STDs.  he said it happens because fo friction to certain areas of the body. the area around the spot where mine was was constantly rubbing whenever i went for a run. it was a long time before it became larger. it started out as small as a pimple and then grew to the size of a bebe. he cut it off for me and that was the end of that. but they are nothing to worry about unless they are in a spot where they irritate you.

not masturbation.....it's probably not acne....could be a rash from a cream or something that you came in contact with or it could be ingrown hairs.....if it doesn't go away in a few days see your doctor

Well friend, you are currently faced with your own mortality. I can open by saying, don't panic. I began losing my hair about the age of 20, it's not all gone, but it has definetly receeded noticably. The little red pimples, I get those too. Best bet is to leave them alone, don't touch em. That makes them painful when you fiddle with them. You will find now that you have a child, your hair will fall out faster and turn grey. You are going to be fine. Sunshine helpe alot with the zits and rash, even if you have to go to the fake and bake tanning place, get some sunlight on your skin.

To be sure of getting an accurate and correct diagnosis along with proper treatment, please see a dermatologist.  No one can diagnose you, not even a doctor, without seeing the "bumps"...those who answer would only be guessing.\n\nIf they guess wrong and you follow their advice, you could end up with far more serious issues.  Be smart, see a dermatologist.

haha this was just asked i thought.  I get the same problem on my upper arms bro, coco butter lotion W/ vitemin E twice a day when you get up and when you go to sleep every day.  It will take the color out of the marks and if they're smaller make em heal away.

I know what you are talking about as well.  My daughter and I both get this.  We are blond/blue and we get this on the underside of our upper arms.  It is not scabies, eczema or psoriasis. I have known people with all of those conditions, and this ain't it!  I will have to research KP and look for pictures.  KP sounds "stronger" than what we have.  I have noticed that the bumps are not as pronounced in the summer when I have been out in the sun more.  Also, as I have gotten older (I am 34 now), they are not as pronounced.  Good luck to you (and us!)
