Avatar n tn Keratosis pilaris is a common genetic follicular condition that is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin like goose bumps. Keratosis pilaris occurs when the human body produces excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin. There is currently no known cure for keratosis pilaris, however, there are effective treatments available which make its symptoms less apparent. Treatment includes tretinoin or Triamcinolone cream or Adapalene, a retinoid medication.
Avatar f tn So about a week ago I noticed that I had bumps on my chest that I just kind of dusted off as sweat bumps (they kind of look like goosebumps). Then one time I went to scratch my back & I noticed that I had bigger bumps on my back along with goosebumps looking bumps, they're a little itchy sometimes. I noticed the bigger bumps on my back about 2 days ago. My mom said I shouldn't worry about it.
Avatar f tn t look like all of the pictures- the pilaris bumps in the pics look red, but mine are white. My skin is completely smooth, but it looks like I have permanent goosebumps because the spots are lighter than my skin. In the attached picture, my leg is completely smooth but it looks as if I have raised goosebumps. The spots are always there. Does anybody know if it is keratosis pilaris or something else?
Avatar f tn They are small and look like permanent goosebumps. Today they started itching on my left arm REALLY badly. I scratched, and the bumps became more noticeable.. But not red and burning.just more noticeable and itchy. Any clue as to what this is? I have a pic.
Avatar f tn Hi, This seems to be a condition called Keratosis pilaris. It is manifested by the appearance of rough bumps on the skin. It most often appears on the back and outer sides of the upper arms (though the lower arms can also be affected), and can also occur on the thighs and tops of legs, flanks, buttocks. It occurs as excess keratin, a natural protein in the skin, accumulates within the hair follicles forming hard plugs.
Avatar n tn Hello - a few days ago, I happened to notice a scattering of small pink/red bumps on the top of my right breast. They look like little sweat bumps, I guess. There are actually a few on my left breast, too, but just a few. For some reason I decided to google it and lots of results about inflammatory breast cancer came back, which kind of freaked me out. Does this sound like IBC, or the beginning of it?
Avatar m tn On my wrists and the back of my hands, it is the bumps that appear red but my palms have a general pinkish tint to them. The bumps almost look like goosebumps. I bought hydrocortisone cream and have applied it once so I'm not sure if it will work but does anyone have any idea that this could be? I'm also experiencing a scratchy throat and slight sinus pressure. I'm not sure if this could have anything to do with that.
592969 tn?1248325405 The bumps are pimple like, light pink or close to skin color. The bumps itch and swell when itched. They also hurt after itching. She has been getting these bumps all of her life. The doctor told us he thought they were winter bumps, but she gets them year round. Any idea of what these bumps could be? They usually last a week before healing up and then more will break out.
1753162 tn?1317278184 I have something like that, it's goosebumps and it's on my forehead, but it stays there all of the time. It is sort of itchy, but hurts when I itch it. It just appeared yesterday and I thought that it was my allergies and it would go away , but it didn't. I washed my face when I got to my grandma's house, because I was up north with my dad and obviously told my mom because dads wouldn't understand what it may be, usually.
Avatar f tn I also noticed I have three small patches of dry skin on the back of my right hand. They used to be really itchy but now they just look like little goosebumps. They don't look very dry but they feel dry. As for my face, it looks dry and feels leathery. My forehead is a bit bumpy but not on this goosebumps way. The areas on my face are also slightly raised. Very very slightly but I have noticed it.
Avatar n tn What are these tiny white dots that appear on my skin whenever I sweat. they stay for a couple hours after and disappear by the next day completely, what are they? They only appear from my forearms to my elbow. is it Tinea versicolor, I ask this because my white spots are small and not large patches. Another question I have a goosebumps type rash on my left elbow that has been there for I don't know how many months, what is it?
Avatar n tn just seemed like skin all the way down. It was very painful when he did that and when I get them, they sometimes itch, but not always. I'm 27 now and for 15 years or so I've almost always had one of these little patches somewhere. What are they, what causes them, and what can I do about them?
Avatar f tn Currently I have these tiny itchy bumps all over my face, front side of neck, chest and ears that look like goosebumps. They showed up overnight on my face and neck and have now spread to my chest and ears. My face has also swelled up (my eyes are puffy and I now have a double chin which I didn't have before).
Avatar n tn They were on the back of her hands and forearm. They looked like a bunch (like hundreds) of tiny bumps (practically looked like goosebumps). The color of the rash was normal flesh color; as I said, they were like goosebumps except they lasted for a whole week. They're completely gone now. I guess my question is, is it possible that her rash was caused by the herpes simplex 1 virus (because she got a blood test, IGG/IGM, and it was positive).
Avatar m tn Google fordyck spots and see if they look like that.
Avatar f tn Hello I am a young female, I usually have normal to oily skin, but just yesterday I woke up and noticed bumps all along my forehead, very small like goosebumps almost. Yet, noticeable. I have larger bumps on my neck but not near big enough to be hives. They're very itchy and are hard to notice unless touched. Please help! Currently I'm using antihistamine and aloe Vera gel to relive it.
Avatar m tn Surrounding the raised pimply bumps that scab are tiny goosebumps. Again, this is all only occurring on his arms, legs and diaper region. I've used Aveeno bath wash, lotion and a light amount of % hydrocortisone, plus bought more fragrance free/dye free laundry detergent. I use Aquaphor, and have dressed him in loose clothing. The condition isn't getting worse, but it doesn't seem to be getting better either. Meanwhile, my son is oblivious.
Avatar n tn I had un-protected sex with a female approximately 2 weeks ago, very shortly afterwards I noticed goosebump-ish raises in my skin. The goosebumps are in 2 patches of 3 or 4 on the underside of my penis on the shaft. The bumps may have been there before I had sex because I could have went without noticing, (highly unlikely) but the sex I recently had was the first unprotected sex I have had in about a year. The bumps have not increased in size or quanity but have also not decreased.
Avatar n tn I looked and he had small bumps in patches on his elbows best I can say is it looked like chicken skin or goosebumps. It almost looked like he had been leaning on his elbows and somehow irritated them. I put NEOSPORIN and Band-Aids.
Avatar m tn I am a 32 yr old I have always had clear skin about a month ago i started gettin red bumps that look like bites all over me mainly in my sides and arms they recently started to apear on my hands and feet. They go away and return they itch so bad. They covered my legs one day I can not take it anymore please any feed back will be great.
Avatar f tn It is very important to examine the rashes before arriving at a diagnosis. Rough skin can be due to dry skin. If there are flesh colored bumps then they can possibly be Keratosis Pilaris. Keratosis Pilaris is a genetic condition. The bumps are hair follicles clogged with a naturally-occurring hard protein called keratin that protects the skin. Another possibility is guttate psoriasis which causes small, red, and scaly teardrop-shaped spots on the arms, legs, and middle of the body.
Avatar n tn Think of goosebumps. just like that. Skin color and tiny like pinhead. I put soap on it today. And it burned for a second or 2. But that was soap on a dry area, I didn't even get in the shower and put soap on it.
Avatar n tn i have hundreds of small red,white and skin colored bumps on my chest spreading on the back of my neck.look like goosebumps. with white tips.what are they and how do i cure them? what caused them?
Avatar m tn Im a 17 year old male, I have been having unprotected sex with my girlfriend for several months now she has nothing, so im really confused on whats going on with me, I shaved my pubic hairs about a month ago or so and i noticed some red bumps they look like pimples probably about 12 or 13 of them at first i thought it was just because i shaved but they still haven't gone away what could they be? Also about an inch up on my shaft there is 3 little white bumps what are those?
Avatar f tn I started to develop little bumps on my arms and chest that look like goosebumps and my skin in general now is very sensitive to any touch or irritation and I also have a burning sensation. My armpits also have a similar discomfort/burning sensation. And when my skin does itch, it itches excessively. Do and of you guys know what this could be related to? My main concern is that is could be HIV, although i have not had any other symptoms. Thanks for the help...
