nashua Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 What are these little zit like things and how do i get rid of them? From far away you can't see texture...it looks like a rash. Close up, they are small teeny zits. Any oothers have this. What to do? Link to post Share on other sites
ShoeGirl Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 How long have they been there? Do they itch? Have you tried any acne creams on them? Try washing your arms with unscented soap for the a few days, if they itch or they don't get better with washing with unscented soap I would see a doctor. Link to post Share on other sites
sb129 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I used to have them, and they were worse in winter when my arms were all covered up all the time. they are really really common- lots of people have them. Use a good exfoliant and moisturiser. Link to post Share on other sites
Mustang Sally Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I agree with SB. Sounds like Keratosis Pilaris. Google it. What SB suggests is the best approach. Exfoliate and moisturize. Of course, it goes without saying that if the condition persists or worsens, you should see your regular doctor for a thorough evaluation.... Link to post Share on other sites
