Q: My 5 And 7 Yr Old Boys Have White Pimples On Arms?

I am wondering if this is an allergy. We do not have allergies on our family but my three boys ages 7,5,5, all have the same pimples on their arms and I want to pick them .... They don't have the spots anywhere else just their arms. We use gain liquid detergent... Does anyone know what this could be?

Yes.. I think I know what you're talking about.. I went to the doctors and he said it was a skin/sun rash. At times it was really bad but if you use a neutrogena scrub ( I used the orange foaming gel one) then you should see a drastic improvement in about a week or so

My kids had them, I had them it is a vitamin a deficiencey--they pick them and they return. Leave them alone they go away eventually mine when I was a teenager--my son same thing, when he was teenager, but we picked ours always. When we quit worrying about them they went away.

Deficient of of what? Did you supplement vitamins? I wish I knew more about skin allergys because I can't figure out why all three of my boys would have the same thing... Thanks for your response.

there is a non glutton efficent, genetic disease called celiac. This diffiency causes dermatitis. You would need to goto your ped. To get a refferal to see a gastronologist. Also if it is a vitamin diffency issue try this product it all natural vitamins derived from fruits and vegitables. Check it out at

our bodys are not made to digest synthetic (fake) vitamins. Would you water synthetic grass? :wink: :wink:
