Small Under The Skin Pimples?

Question

Well i've been having some problems with my skin lately. I've tried products and its gotten my face pretty cleared up, but these pimples are really weird. Its like under the skin, but NOT hard big red pimples ( sorry for the detail, but i just dont know how else to word it ) theyre small ( but there's a lot ), and practically blend in with my skin, but you can always see them in the light, and i feel them constantly, so it's very annoying, because it looks to people like i have clear skin, but if you ever ran your hand over my face it's bump after bump. I dont know what to call this, or how to fix it! help pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

thanks in advance!

Answer 1

my son has been using pine tar soap for a lil over a month now. it has really helped clear it up. he had it really bad. huge sores on his face, back and some on his arms and chest. you can get it thru your pharmacy. it costs about $4 a bar and a bar can last 3-4 wks.

Answer 3

These could be something called milia, which are basically tiny pockets of sebaceous material - harmless but annoying because the skin is not smooth. I have them on my upper arms and was advised to use a lacic acid preparation (basically an AHA body lotion) which actually exfoliates the surface and reduces the appearance. If these are on your face, I would check with a dermatologist first before applying any AHA to your skin.

Have you started using any new soaps, moisturizers or other face products? You could be experience sensitivity to one of them. Discontinue any new product, and try using a noncomodogenic, hypoallergenic product, such as Cetaphil, and see if that makes any difference.

You may also be experience a reaction to the colder air and dry inside heat of wintertime. Try a moisturizer (again, hypoallergenic and noncomodogenic) formulated for sensitive skin. Taking Omega3 capsules (fish oil) also has excellent skin benefits.

Answer 5

Hi there.... my sons have the same thing. Use Eucerine heavy cream on your arms for several weeks. Also when you bathe use a loofah to help exfoliate your skin. The lotion is expensive but worth the end results. Mine have been gone since high school after using Eucerine for a little over a month.

Good luck!!

Answer 6

It's possible that they are a different type of mole/skin tags. Go to a Dermatologist to get a better definition of what you have and what can be done to improve this for you.
It can be spendy as most insurance companies think of this as cosmetic. Some Dermatologist will take off many moles/skin tags for the price of one.

Answer 7

it sounds like it may possibly be a mild case of eczema

make sure all of the products you are using are hypoallergenic b/c the bumps may be a reaction to the ingredients in them

if you still cant figure out the source of these bumps, i might recommend a visit to your dermatologist who can officially diagnose you and give you treatment

good luck!
