How To Get Rid Off Rash With Pimple Like Bumps On Upper Arm?

yes I have had a rash with pimple like bumps on my upper arms for a year or better and at time it itches like crazy. I have three children and they have never had the rash so I doubt it is something they can get. I have use avenno lotion and mild soaps nothing helps.

Hi,

You seem to have keratosis pilaris. There may be keratotic papular eruptions on arms. There may be dryness. There may be mild itching. The condition is benign. It look like pimple but it is not pimple. It may be hereditary. Ciao isotretinoin 10 mg or vitamin A may be taken for long time. Vitamin E and vitamin C may be taken. Apply vitamin E cream twice a day do not rupture the lesions. Take carrot and papaya more in diet. Do not rub soap on affected area during bath. You may be improved after few months treatment. It may relapse again. Repeat treatment accordingly. I hope you got my answer.

Thanks.
