face bumps
my daughter has small bumps that have no color to them on her cheeks and on her upper arms and i was wondering what they are and if i can do anything to get rid of them
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
Probably keratosis pilaris, a hereditary bumpiness caused by excess keratin protein in the hair openings. She'll grow out of the facial ones. If the bumps bother her, she can apply an alpha-hydroxy moisturizer (ask your druggist) and exfoliate daily using a loofah or Buf Puf.
