Red Raised Bumps On Arms And Legs Posted: 06-24-04 05:24am
Are these bumps about the size of a small
coin? Are they increasing in size, are
they increasing in number? Are they
painless? Apart from the arms are they
growing elsewhere? From you explanation
till now they sound like lipoma which is
nothing but a deposition of fat on the
nerve fibres causing the typical movable,
swelling on various places of the body.
This is purely a cosmetic problem and in
no way would affect your health or
metabolism. Homeopathic medicine has good
remedies like thuja, causticum, crataegus,
calc flour, silicea, fucus ves which can
see that there is no further increase in
size of the lipoma and no new occurrences
of the same on the body.

No, they are not the size of a coin, poke
your self in the arm with a sewing needel
or something, and the red bump is about
the size of a bump u would get froma
needel

Then it is acne vulgaris and can be easily
taken care of with homeopathic medicine.
Common remedies like kali brom, merc
should help you.

This Will Actually Help You! I Actually Wear Tanks Now! Posted: 07-23-04 22:33pm
Confirm this with your doctor... :d
but it sounds like . . .
What you actually have is called keratosis
pilaris, a common mild condition in which
the backs of the upper arms look rather
like dried out, plucked chicken flesh. If
this is the case, half of your children
are likely to have the same future in
store for them. Keratosis pilaris is
hereditary. The rash is caused by firm
little plugs forming in the hair
follicles. The plugs themselves are made
of bits of keratin, the main protein found
in the outermost protective layer of skin
(thus the name keratosis). These plugged
follicles give the skin a raised, stippled
appearance. Since the rash is associated
with and worsened by dryness of the skin,
most people experience a clear-cut
seasonal variation -- generally worse in
the winter. Although the rash changes in
intensity from time to time, the baseline
usually stays the same until middle
adolescence, when it begins to improve.
Adults who still have keratosis pilaris
often experience further improvement
during the middle decades. Usually it is
on the arms but is also found on the backs
or fronts of thighs and buttocks. Some
people even experience it on the face. It
is not curable but is treatable! I have
had it since childhood, a terrible case of
it, and have found physician who finally
knew what they were talking about! I am
33! The following treatment has in 4
weeks given me silky smooth arms with very
slight visible bumps (far cry from the red
sometimes painful itchy bumps) I also now
have a fine down of hair finally growing
on my arms for the first time ever. Ok,
shower and use a coarse body brush or
strong loofa to scrub the bumps (all of
them) with an acne body wash like
neutrogena. It may be painful for the
first few days, but its worth it. After
you towel dry, apply lac-hydrin cream
(this is prescription, so find a doctor
that understands kerotosis pilaris)
generously to area, then again at bedtime.
Its not cheap, but you will see and feel
improvment in a couple weeks maybe sooner!
After they clear up, you can go to once a
day to make your cream last longer. You
won't be disappointed!
Als, make sure you are getting a vitamin a
supplement, this will help keep your
smooth skin, don't over do it on the vit.
A though, you can overdose. Good luck!
(i have a feeling I will be cutting and
pasting this message a few times as alot
of people have this problem...About 50%
actually!!!)

I have the same exact thing! Little bump
on my upper arms. I always thought it was
just acne but it was wierd because i have
no acne on my face or anywhere else. SO i
did some research and found out it was KP
keratosis pilaris. I went on Sephora.com
and ordered KP duty, I use it everyday and
it seems to be working really good.
Actually im just about to order more! Oh
and the most important thing is not to
"pick" them, it makes them worse and they
even come back more

cure for red bumps on arms!!! Posted: 06-05-08 12:01pm
I have the bumps and the dermatoligist
says is Keratosis Pilaris and that there's
no cure. Gees, thanks.
ACTUALLY, I JUST FOUND A CURE! I rub on
NIZORAL dandruff shampoo straight from the
bottle and leave it on for 15 minutes
before rinsing. My arms feel so smooth
that I keep rubbing them just to feel the
smoothness! I've suffered with this for 15
years! I can't believe I finally have a
cure.
The reason it works is because my problem
is apparently yeast, and the Nizoral is an
anti-fungal that works on yeast.
I also have recurring vaginal yeast
infections, irritated and swollen eyes and
sometimes get cracks at the corners of my
mouth. I'm convinced they're all yeast
problems and will use the Nizoral on all
places. I'll also continue to treat the
yeast from the inside...Threelac product
and also recently began drinking apple
cider vinegar water (2 tsp. per 8 oz.
water).
Good luck to everyone with this painless
yet very irritating and embarassing issue.
Maybe your issue isn't yeast, but Nizoral
is worth a try. I can't tell you how happy
I am. I live in Florida, and now I can
wear sleeveless tops without feeling so
embarassed. Wow, try it!!! I'm thrilled.
