Why do I have little bumps on my upper arm?

Question

I have little bumps on my upper arm. I know people who have to, it's not a rash or anything, it doesn't itch. Some people say it's because you dont' put enough lotion, and other people say it's because you use really hot water to shower.

Answer 1

You don't give a lot of details, so it's hard for me to answer you. Is it a hard bump, and the same color as the rest of your skin? In that case, it's probably a fat bump. Have you gained weight recently? They're not dangerous, they're just a way for the body to store extra fat.
You should probably get a doctor to examine that, though, just in case.

Answer 2

I have them too. I was told by a dermatoligist it is like a nerve rash. Some people just have sensitive skin. It use to make me self consious. I didn't want to wear tank tops. If you get a tan they hide easily . If they are like little pimples then try to eat healthier and drink water . This stuff has helped me clear the bumps through out my life.

Answer 3

I have them too and was told by my doctor that it was dead skin that isn't falling off like it should and instead forming these pimple like things. I agree that water helps but I've also used the over the counter Microdermabrasion kit from Loreal twice a week and it's helped a lot.

Answer 4

I have them too, but have never been overly concerned by them...
