It could be several things...are the bumps oily or seepy -- could be an encounter with poison ivy or poison oak.  However if you have recently been in the woods or in contact with leaves (like raking leaves) you may have chiggers (yes they are real).  They are a little mite that buries in your skin, and migrate very rapidly, they are extremely irritating and itchy -- but they are not life threatening.  What can you do -- not much...they eventually have to suffocate...so best to treat the area with a corticosteroid cream or ointment for the itching and symptoms. You don't give enough details to know -- so you can always go to a good source such as webmd.  If you suspect chiggers -- on your next outing be sure to wear long pants, long sleeves, and tight fitting clothes.  You often find people getting exposed on those "indian summer days" where you are dressed a little more lightly and contact trees, leaves, or bark (sitting on a log) a bunch.  \n\nIt the rash persists for awhile or gets worse -- you should seek medical attention.

Check with your Doctor or dermatologist first! Stress, or chemotherapy might be causing the problem. Sounds like aeropicia aeriata? sp?

Actually sounds like heat rash. Keep the skin dry, and try to find a type of medicated powder such as Gold Bond Or Fissars

First, it's possible that the bumps on your arms and legs aren't acne. If they don't hurt, and are harder and kind of spiny feeling, it may be something called keratosis pilaris. It's usually found on the backs of arms, and sometimes on the legs and torso. It's harmless but annoying, and can be treated with alpha and beta (like salicylic acid) hydroxies, and urea. There are many other acne "imposters" - check out the website below.\n\nNow, for the acne itself. It is most common on the face, back and chest. While foods can cause acne outbreaks for some people, most recurring acne has nothing to do with diet, water intake, smoking, washing, or any other external factors. Your skin is just prone to acne. (By the way, a lot of people who suffer from chronic acne also have dandruff. Check your shoulders lately?) Basically, the oil your pores produce is "stickier" than normal, and dead skin cells don't slough off as easily. This causes the pores to clog, and presto! - a zit appears. Hormones can also affect it - acne is common in teenage boys, and also in adult women. Some women have acne that appears during a certain time in their menstrual cycle, clearing just in time for the next bout to begin. \n\nI use Proactiv, and have for ten years or so. I love it, but it doesn't work for everyone. It has a money back guarantee, so if you're interested, give it a shot. They also have body wash products. After I used it for a week or so, I realized that my skin felt different, even at the end of the day, before I washed my face. Have you ever had a bottle of vegetable oil spill a little? If you don't wipe it up right away, it sort of dries out, and then it's impossible to clean. Soap doesn't get it. It feels tacky and thick. That's what my face felt like, even after washing with soap and other facial cleansers. Now, even when it's oily, it's slick instead of sticky - and I don't have acne.

It could be a few things:\n\n1 - your thyroid may be messed up. Meaning that your hormone levels are off somehow. This can be figured out with a simple blood test.\n\n2 - you may be anemic. Have you seen any of your blood recently? Anemic people have blood that's more brownish red than purplish red. This can be figured out with a simple blood test.\n\n3 - you may be diabetic. Have you been urinating frequently? Do you shake when you haven't had food for awhile? Have your blood sugar tested.\n\n4 - you could have leukemia. Highly unlikely, but possible. Do you bruise easily and in weird places (i.e. you inner thigh)? Do you get red bumps on your arms and legs? Have your white count checked.\n\n5 - You may just need somemore excersize to get your blood flowing. Or, your oxygen stats could be off. \n\nHope this helped! (GO SEE YOUR DOCTOR!)

If theyre on your legs, i would probably say ingrown hairs. Could be a rash of some sort also.

It could be exzma, which isn't an infection, but needs hydrocortisone cream ( over the counter).  It could also be from wearing wet socks.  Keeping your feet aired and dry is important.  If it itches or gets red, see your doctor.  Hope this helps

not necessarily...it could just be fluid retention. Your legs could be building up fluid throughout the day and at night with you lying flat it disperses. Is your leg hot and red looking and tight...this could be a sign of something more sinister...DVT.....either way if you are concerned go to your GP and get it checked to put your mind at rest if nothing else.

A rash, a pimple, irritation... I wouldn't know, you didn't specify where and how it looks exactly. Try showering everyday and washing that part of your skin thoroughly.

I know.  I've had this before when I was younger.\n\nThis is an allergy to the sun.  You got too much sun exposure and you don't have enough vitamin A and E in your system.\n\nFirst, Start taking some multi-vitamins that contain vitamins E and A.  Do not take mega amounts, because they (especially Vitamin A) can be toxic to your liver if you overdo it.  They are not water soluble, so you cannot piss them out by drinking lots of water.)\n\nAlso please get out of the sun for a few days until the bumps go away. If you must go out in the sun cover your face with a strong sun block and wear a hat. Some make up has sun block built into it, but I doubt it will cover the bumps because they are raised and like little blisters.\n\nIf you do not really have sun bumps, other possibilities are poison ivy, German measles (don't get near any pregnant women) or an allergic rash to something else.\n\nHope this helps.
