What causes the red bumps on the back of people's (mostly girls) arms?

Question

The bumps are usually small but many and sometimes they are red. Almost like razor bumps only on the back of the upper arm.

Can it be inherited?

O yeah, how to solve it?

Answer 1

This is a symptom of Vitamin A deficiency. It is called Chicken Skin. An early sign of Vitamin A deficiency is chicken skin - small raised bumps on the back of the neck, upper arms, back and shoulders. Other deficiency symptoms are premature wrinkles, acne, pimples, blackheads, psoriasis, vision disorders, respiratory problems, dry, rough, itchy, scaly, cracked skin and slowed healing.

You need to increase your dietary intake of Vitamin A. Once eaten, beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A(retinol) in the body when needed. It's a powerful antioxidant in its own right.

Foods rich in Beta Carotene (Vitamin A) are:- Fish liver oil, liver, carrots, dark green and yellow vegetables, eggs, milk and dairy products, margarine and yellow fruits.

Vitamin A rich foods will keep the outer layers of your tissues and organs healthy, help in the removal of age spots, if you have them, promote growth, strong bones, healthy skin, hair, teeth and gums, help treat acne, superficial wrinkles, impetigo, boils, carbuncles and open ulcers when applied externally.

Another deficiency symptom of Vitamin A is night blindness.

Recommended daily intake of Vitamin A is 4,000 IU for females.

I'm sure if you follow my advice you will be more than pleased with your renewed skin texture !!!

This can be caused by a number of things. It can either be the laundry soap that you use, or by the conditioner/body wash that you use. I would recommend spending a little extra time rinsing off followed by a gentle exfoliating scrub(and yet again more rinsing) on the affected areas every other day. Also remember to use a light moisturizer once or twice a day. Good luck.

Answer 5

Usually, these are caused by dry skin and the inability to shed dead skin sells. Some sort of scrubbing device for the shower is a good idea, but mostly, using a moisturizing lotion after getting out of the shower will help get rid of them. I have this problem every winter. I also get them on my legs, but moisturizing fixes the problem.

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 7

It is keratosis pilarisis ( not sure of the spelling), it is eczema in the hair follicles, and it is hereditary. Use a body wash with salicylic acid or glycolic acid, and a mild moisturizer. Tanning also helps, it minimizes redness and dries up the bumps (in a good way)

Answer 8

I have the same thing and it's: keratosis pilaris. my dermatologist said that this cream would help, it's: am lactin 12% cream. and like everyone said, a good scrub works wonders! hope this helps!

Lack of exfoliation, they're just little blocked pores. Keratosis pilaris - google it.
