Answer 1

It sounds like you have keratosis pilaris (sp?). There is not much you can do about it (it's a hereditary condition - I have it, my daughter has it and my sons have a mild form of it).

Short of seeing a dermatologist about it you can find information about it on the internet. Check out www.helpforkp.com or www.keratosispilaris.org

From helpforkp.com: "Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a very common skin condition often referred to as "chicken skin". If you have keratosis pilaris, you are not alone. Worldwide, keratosis pilaris affects an estimated 40 to 50% of the adult population and approximately 50 to 80% of all adolescents. Varying in degree, cases of KP can range from minimal to severe.

Most people with keratosis pilaris don't know they have it. While KP resembles goosebumps, it is characterized by the appearance of small, rough bumps on the 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 palms or soles. (Often confused with acne.)

Keratosis pilaris is unsightly but completely harmless. KP tends to be worse during the winter months or other times of low humidity when the skin dries out. It may also occur and/or worsen among pregnant women or show up after childbirth.
Keratosis Pilaris (KP) cannot be cured, but it can be treated.

There is no cure for keratosis pilaris, since KP is a chronic, genetic follicular disease, however treatments are available. Results from treatments vary and can often be disappointing. With persistence, most people will see satisfactory improvement. It is recommended that treatment not be discontinued because the buildup of keratin (the hard protein in the skin, nails, and hair) will continue to reform around the hair follicles."

Answer 3

I used to get them on the back of my arms.

Here's what to do:
1) get enough EFAs in your diet
2) Use a scrub on the back of the arms with every shower
3) use a light moisturizer on the area
you need the right amount of hydration and oils in your diet, so the body does not have to hold onto oils, and you need to get rid of the dead skin to be able to let the healthy skin show. Might take a little while
4) lavender oil helps to heal the bumps left from pimples, do not scratch or pick them

Answer 4

You really need to read "Banish My Bumps" by Angela Steinberg (also available in electronic format here: http://www.banishbumps.com ). It's about how to permanently cure your Keratosis Pilaris naturally. I was able to clear my skin in only 7 days after reading this.

Stop paying paying each month good money on creams. This is exactly what the pharmaceutical industry wants you to do! They want to milk money from you each month.

Answer 5

Use a soap with a little grit in it, Alpha works great and use a Loofah or scrubber sponge and scrub your arms really good while in the shower. My daughter has them and they say they are clogged hair follicles. I bet you have dark hair, they seem to be prone to them.

Answer 6

Stop using the current soap you've been using or if you don't use soap start using some dove works good. Don't buy the really generic stuff or cheap soap.

Answer 7

Maybe you need to exfoliate. Use a washcloth while in the shower to gently slough off dead skin.

Hope that helps!
