I have small red bumps on my arms/biceps that have been there for a few years. How can I get rid of them?

Samll red bumps on arms are PK. the K stands for keratosis, I forget what the P stands for.\nI have this common conditon. Aquaphor on the bumps every day makes them go away. It costs $5. at the drugstore. It is the only thing that works.

Mine tends to, especially when I shave.  I read that its tiny hairs curling under the skin that causes the red bumps, when they're shaved to close to the skin that is. . . .

You need to see your doctor and/or a dermatologist. Have you used any new soaps, detergents, etc.?

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.

You should ask his doctor .... it could be different skin pigmentation . I had a friend in high school that had these spots, on her arms & hands, back and legs.

Kind sounds like it may not be heat bumps at all.\nHeat bumps go away soon after being cooled. An A/C'd room, wiped down with an icy/water rag...\nBut you would need to consult a dermatologist to be sure. Not a general doctor they don't know as much as the skin dr. does.

You could use sea breeze to help eliminate the bumps. Its like and astringent. Or just use acne products that you would usually put on your face, on your legs.

You'll need to be more specific about what the bumps look like and where they are.  One very common skin problem is keratosis pilaris (KP), which causes red patches of bumpy skin.  I have it on my arms and thighs, which are common places to have it.  KP affects over 50% of people and is harmless, although it doesn't look very nice.  Often it shows up in children and some people do outgrow it, but many do not and there's no known cure for it.  If that's what your baby has, then it's completely harmless.  A doctor should be able to tell you if that's what it is.

Get a cream with hydroquinone or kojic acid -it will lighten them. Laser can get rid of them altogether.

I have been diagnosed with this condition for 2 years now even though i have suffered from it for nearly 10 years.  i get abscesses in my arm pit and have had a lot of surgery over the years. the best bet is to go to see a dermatologist. they will most likely prescribe long term anti-biotic anti-fungal wash to use on the effected areas a cream call Dalston -t but this is a prescribed cream. i find that my symptoms are mainly stressed related. it also advised that you don't shave effected areas use sprays or lotions high in chemicals, colourants, or alcohol as this can cause a reaction. i find relaxation techniques like meditation and deep tissue massage also help. having lymphatic drainage helps this can be done through reflexology or manual lymphatic drainage. there is a lot of info on the web this is a common condition in the USA. there is a hospital in Birmingham, UK that have a surgeon how specialise in this condition. \nI hope this info helps

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.

Go to a dermatologist.  No home remedy will make those marks disappear.

It kind of sounds like razor burn, make sure you use really thick shaving cream, and don't be afraid to slather it on. then use an after shave care gel, skintamate has pretty good ones. And of course use a really sharp razor (toss it out every two weeks) so don't have to go over spots. and put on lotion afterwards, if all else fails and you still get them, try using baby oil after the shower, or pure vaseline.

Wear an undershirt, and make sure you use anti-perspirant deoderant.\n\nIf it is more severe, talk to your doctor... you also might want to get a beard trimmer and 'trim' your arm pits... it is unfortunate that most guys think it is awesome to look like they have a roadkill rat under their arm.

I had something similar on the back of my arm. Do you have dry skin? My doctor said it was due to dry skin. Dead skin builds up aroud a hair folicle and it creates a sort of rash. Try light exfoliation in the shower, followed by baby oil on wet skin.
