What Could Rashes On Limbs That Can Only Be Seen Indicate?

I have developed a rash. I would liken it to goose bumps. In my web searches, Keratosis Pilaris is the only explanation I can find; however, these bumps appear not only on the upper arms, but also the inside of the forearms, thighs, and calves. You can only see them when the light is down cast upon them and can barely feel anything by touch. They ve been there for a week no with no improvement. I went to the urgent care on Sunday, but the doctor couldn t identify it and said it would probably clear up on its own. I am not as confident as I ve seen no improvement at all.

Dermatologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Keratosis pilaris usually stays and it is not evanescent. In my opinion, your rash is an absolutely normal phenomenon and you do not need to worry. You can visit your Dermatologist if your rash does not disappear or stays for more than a week.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Siva Subramanian,
