The ABC Homeopathy Forum

arm bumps

I am a woman in my early 20's and have had small, red, dry bumps (that don't itch but are similar to whiteheads) on my upper arms for most of my life.

I researched a bit and found out that it is most likely a heridatry coniditon known as Keratosis Pilaris (bumps of keratin protein congregate on the skin). Apparently my only choice is to try exfoliating and if that doesn't work just to live with it...

Please tell me there is a cure for it ! I'd really appreciate it.

thanks
