Oh, I used to have those too. On the back of my arms. Just use a loofa.. If that's how you spell it haha. Then every time you shower, use some soap and the loofa and scrub it. Only for a few seconds, since I've been doing that, no more bumps have appeared.

Looks a bit like keratosis pilaris? Are they actually bumpy?

[Asker]

i was reading about that... well not terribly bumpy feeling...the bumps started off being raised but now it's kinda drying and it's a little bit itchy but I'm not scratching it for the fear of marks...now it's just drying and feels soft yet slightly bumping , they are kinda going down slowly :/

[Ada-Fae]

It's a really annoying thing to have, so hopefully you don't :/

Mine used to be really raised, but now they are mostly just flat red marks all over my arms, shoulders, legs, chest, etc O_o

They usually start to fade with time, but that means years.

People have found personal cures for it, so definitely read up on it a lot and keep an eye on your skin.

are they new. I can't remember the name of it atm but it can happen when certain parts of the skin don't replace theirselves at a normal rate. You can google it

yea it did like I have it for like 5 days now...but it's drying now sort of...i think it's gonna leave some marks :/

Could be an allergic reaction to a detergent in your clothing.

You might be allergic to something, if it continues and gets worse; go to the doctor.
