On the top part of my arm and my upper legs I have these raised little bumps, they are red, but they don't itch. Does anyone know what these are or how to get rid of them?

I actaully have the same thing on my legs which really bother me alot. I have tried everything from using a sharp razor and lots of lotion to even waxing but that didn't help at all for it just caused more ingrown hairs. I did just make an appoinment which i am going for on friday to get a consultation on laser hair removal which is suppossed to kill the hair follicle and make the bumps disappear. I will let you know how it goes and if it really works or not if you want. [ removed ] and i can let you know about it. Ok well hope to talk to you soon!

could it be keratosis pilaris??, because that is where it shows up on most people is on the upper arms and thighs. I have a very widespread case of it they say there is no cure, just treatments. Good Luck in finding out what it is.

My Son has one on his face. I took him to the dermatologist she said it was a hematoma and I could A. let it run its course and hope it went away on it's own Or B. they could take it off with a laser?
It's been about 5 months and I don't notice it going away at all.

Not sure about the legs but definitely bumpy upper arms are a cause of vitamin A deficiency (follicular keratosis it's called) so try taking a vitamin A each day or eating more oily fish! xxx

its keratosis pilaris, i have it on my arms my face and inbetween my eyebrows. nothing ive found seems to work and the dermatologist doesnt help. u cud try using sunbeds, or try elicinia cream which is supposed to help, i have some of that cream, after 1 month i havent seen a lot of difference yet..

Hi.. My son is 2 and now he is developing those small red bumps on his fore arms and all the way up to his shoulders but it is only on the back sides? Does anyone know what I should try to use on him, since he is so young?
