Common Questions and Answers about Bumps on arms and shoulders

bumps

I have these bumps on my shoulders and arms that resemble keloids. However, they itch and swell at random moments throughout the day. I have not had any reason that I can think of for scars to grow there other than a really bad sun burn, any ideas what this might be?

A few days ago I woke up and felt a few little tiny bumps on the upper part of my right arm. Within the past two days the small patch has spread to almost the enitre part of my upper right arm (from about my elbow to below my shoulder). They are not hives, they are not zits. They do not bother me in the physical sense but I just dont understand where they came from and why there are there. They are not hereditary, and I have never had them before.

i have really tiny bumps on both of my upper arms up to my shoulder. i have had these all of my life. they are tiny and they are red. if i rub my hand over my arm i can feel tons of them, but you cant really see them extremely noticeably. they dont itch or hurt, but they are just there and i dont like them. i am 15 years old and i hardly ever get acne. so they definetly are not zits, and it isnt a rash. does anybody no any creams or should i go to a dermatologist?

again bumps cleared up for about 1 week and then reappeared. Bumps are on both arms on the underside of my forearms from inside elbow crease to wrists and no where else on my body. Any ideas? Thank-you.

The rashes include red, very itchy and results in a cluster of small bumps all over my arms and shoulders. Some of them are single bumps but looks really irritated. Please help with a regimen to help through the summer season.

I have stinging pain (feels sort of like jellyfish stings) on my upper arms and shoulders that comes and goes. Sometimes there are very tiny itchy pimple type bumps and sometimes it's where the bumps used to be. It's painful and nothing seems to relieve it. The doctor's best guess is eczema. I feel like it's nerve related since I've also had nerve pain pop up in my feet. When should I consult a neurologist? Or should I just accept it's from the fibromyalgia?

I have these small red bumps(to the touch) on my upper arms, shoulders and back. I had noticed that the small red bumps go away and go come back every so ofter. However, I didn't know I had them on the shoulders or back until I went for a mud treatment at a spa. The person doing the mud treatment said it look like I have some type of rash. Any ideas what these red bumps could be? an allergic reaction to something? affect of sun damage (I haven't sun myself in 10 yrs)?

I am desperate and have dealt with this my whole life. I have itchy bumps on my entire arm/shoulder area which leave horrible scars. I am unable to wear short sleeve shirts most of the time. The bumps will start out as red welts, which turn into tiny, tiny white heads. These things itch uncontrollably! Sometimes they fill up with with the pimple like puss. If I squeeze them I get some relief. Dermatologists state this condition is eczema, I do not believe it because A.

But lately, it is becoming very glaring for everyone to notice with so many spots. I have them on left and right arm shoulders and spread a bit on my back too. Anyone got any info about this kinda problem ?

The little bumps are just located on the the side of the arm about 1 1/2 inches below the top of the shoulder. No redness, you can only feel them. No scaling or discharge.

I have a raised red bump on my shoulder that has been coming and going in exactly the same place for about 7 years. It is not itchy or sore, my concern is that it seems to be getting bigger. What causes this?

My daughter has alot of tiny bumps on her upper arm, she is 12 yrs. They don't itch, they are not red, and some have, what looks like, a very little bit of puss and the others are skin colored. Her right arm has alot more than her left. They start at the shoulder then trickle down to her elbow. on the right arm she has 2 or 3 below the elbow. I've tried cetaphil wash and cream, Origins modern friction exfoliant, hydrocortisone 1%, and aloe. all of these were brief trials.

For about 8 years now I have bumps on upper arm. I am 29 now. I first noticed them when I was 21 about 1-2 months after I moved to Northwest Florida from central Alabama, but I only lived there for a year. They are small, red, non-itchy bumps, that have a hard white center when squeezed. I will feel my arm when I wake up in the am and it is pretty smooth, but as the day goes on these bumps seem to rise. They have caused scarring and is really embarrasing.

Hello, I have a small bump on my shoulder, slightly smaller than a pea. It is red and firm and has been there for years. It has never changed size or colour and has never hurt. Now it seems a second one is forming on my elbow of the same arm. I went to a dermatologist last summer who identified it for me with ease. Unfortunately I don't remember what she said it was. I do remember that they are harmless, common and the reason they form is unknown.

Recently I noticed these tiny acne like bumps on my body in the areas of arms/legs/and shoulder area. They have no sensation whatsoever. I asked a doctor about it and she didn't know what it was. Weay, ll, they are not going awsome have been there for over a month. They dont get bigger either. I am starting to worry because I have had a few new ones pop up today. I've not been to the gym in about 2 weeks now.

There has been more and more bumps as time has went on and they have gotten whiter. The bumps don't itch. The bumps seem to go to other places on my arms when my arms are exposed to the sun, so that's why I think it's some sort of sun damage. I am wondering if it is possible that this stuff on my arms could eventually harm me in any way. I am worried about that. And do you think there is any way I could get rid of it? And stop it from coming back?

I have red bumps on both my upper arms just below the shoulders. They only appear when it's hot and I first got them last summer. I want to know what they are and how to treat them.

I noticed that when I started on Paxil two and a half years ago that I broke out in tiny pimples on my back, shoulders and upper arms. They started to go away when I stopped taking the Paxil, but came back when I resumed taking the meds five months laters. I have found that a good body wash with one of those little scrunchy scrubby things helps, and different moisturisers also help. Doesn't sound like the same thing as you have been having though.

My right arm has been in pain (in & out) for 1 year now. It began in the shoulder blade as an ache and burning feeling and progressed down my arm (wrapping around and under in differnt directions) and then tingling in my hand...mostly my thumb being "asleep". My hand often feels colder than the other when this burning arm pain kicks in. I feel the source where it starts under my shoulder blade and if push my fingers the right way I can feel a small pea like bump at times.

What causes severe pain to radiate from neck down to shoulder and arm and prevent a person from raising his or her arm above their shoulder, except if they are lying down with back against the mattress?

I have constant pain from my back, at my left shoulder blade that goes into my left shoulder and radiates down my entire left arm. I find knots in my back and arm that feel like bruises. What could this be?

My shoulders have been bothering me alot as of late especially when raising arms above my head or doing repetitive actions. Could this be do to my dx of small fiber neuropathy or have to do with something else. They also bother me if I lay on my side when sleeping. Been going on for couple of yrs now but definitely seems as if its getting worse.
