Q: Asthma And Skin Bumps
asked by:

Hello,
I have had asthma since I was a kid and over the years it's seemed gradually lessen. I have also general allergies (hayfever) and always had these little bumps on my arms. I hated them when I was 12ish but then forgot about them. I'm in my early 20s and have moved from Australia to Canada and both asthma and the bumps have come back again. So I have three questions:
Firstly are the bumps and asthma connected or is that just dry skin (never had dry winter skin before, it sucks! :S)
and Secondly should I just keep going with ventolin and hoping it goes away again or should I go on long term prevention medication as an adult?
Lastly what should I use to get rid of the bumps on my arms?
Hope you can help!
