| Re: Recurring red skin bumps on hips and under arms that scar!
It's very common. It's nick-named "chicken skin." Sorry, but it doesn't go away, no matter how much moisture you apply. I am prone to skin conditions to the extent that my dermatologist is my primary care physician (sad but true!) -- he told me very nicely but sternly that it's pretty permanent, even if you can get rid of it for awhile.
I'm covered in them, arms and legs. Don't pick them. Just use a lot of lotion and leave them alone. The more you pick them or try to pop them the worse they will look.
You can do a Google search for it: Keratosis Pilaris -- since I am apparently not allowed to hyperlink.
