Red Bumps All Over Upper Arms And Chest
Posted: 11-06-05 00:42am

Hi everyone, I have a problem that I really need an answer to. For the last couple of years, I have been living with red bumps all over my upper-arms and chest. Basically, most of them are red, and some of them arent. Theyre all different sizes, and some of them have puss at the top of them, so it looks like you can pop them, like a pimple.

Theyre not itchy...At all. Theyre very annoying, and it gives me an embarrassing feeling to show my arms or chest to anybody while having these bumps. For 2 weeks, I tried a new kind of soap...Ivory, and have been using some lotion that says is used for bump reduce...Before I started this, for about...4 months or something, I was putting on normal lotion on my arms and chest, and sometimes using stuff like neosporin (sp).

About every couple days, I get new bumps coming. Sometimes 1, sometimes 2, but so far, never 3 new bumps at one time. I guess that the bumps have gotten a tiny bit better, in the number of them, but theyre red...Not itchy...A lot of them...And I hate it! Should I continue doing what im doing now, or try something new? Somebody plz help. Thank you!

I have these same symptoms and I just can't get rid of these itchy red bumps. I'm getting married in one week and I don't want to have these itchy bumps in my wedding pictures!! My doc says they're "allergies" but i've been taking zyrtec and hydroxyzine as perscribed, but still they won't go away, in fact they seem to be getting worse every day!!
