this is most likely keratosis pilaris. i have it but its not that bad because its starting to get nice out and the sun helps. also tanning beds help, there really is no cure for this u just should moisturize with a light moisturizer because a heavy one could make them worse. for the red bumps u could use a self tanner becauseit makes them less visible. i went to the derm a long time ago and she gave me amlactin lotion but it didnt really help. Good Luck i hope u find something that helps u.

Ingrown hairs, even though you can't see em. Use a thick moisturizer (but NOT after you shower- it will clog your pores) and a body scrub with the little scrubbies in it. This way it will keep your skin soft enough to exand if it is growing over a hair and the scrubbies will help "move" that skin enough so the growth is disruppted. Good luck, let me know how you do.
