Hey /fit/, I was wondering if anyone knew what this was. Unfortunately, I don't have a camera, so I'll just have to explain the symptoms.I have this rash on my upper arms. It's not blotchy or streaks, instead it's tons of pinprick red dots. There's some on my forearms, too, but only a few. The stuff on my upper arms is really concentrated. They aren't bumps, but a few here and there are a little smaller than a goosebump. They've been on me about a year and they got worse during winter, so I tried some moisturizing lotion. It hasn't changed since then, so about a month and a half. I shower daily, twice daily if I've worked out or gotten sweaty. I had a bit of hormone induced acne in high school that was untreatable, if that's related at all.That's all I can think of. Anyone know what this is or what to do? I'm low on cash so I'm turning here first before I drop the cash for a dermatologist visit.
could it be eczema, perhaps?
I have the same thing and have seen people with it as well so your not alone. I'm not really sure what it is but I found scrubbing it with a firm brush in the shower helps reduce them
>>45474I don't think so. They're all dots, not blotches. That and there's no drying, irritation, burning, itching, nothing out of the ordinary besides the fact it makes me wanna wear long-sleeve shirts.
>>45476Thanks! I'll try that.
Its a form of acne. See a dermatologist.
>>45739I've done a bit more research on it, and I think you may be right. I may have keratosis pilaris, though mine's not as dramatic as most of the pictures I've found on it. I'm gonna try using an exfoliant on it.Thanks!
>>45470I dunno what this is actually called, but I had/have the same thing too. I bought some Cetaphil (non-comedogenic lotion) and applied it 2x daily. I don't have any more red bumps on my upper arms.
