Rash on upper arms

I have a constant rash on my upper arms that has been there for years.  I was told previously that it was infected dermatitis but the cream i was prescribed didn't clear it. Fucibet and Fucidin. It is not itchy, but consists of tiny red or white bumps, the white ones have a  white substance when squeezed.  The sun seems to help clear it but it returns again. Could it be an allergy.  I am asthmatic.  I would appreciate any help you could give me.  Thanks.

I think i have the exact same thing. Are they about the size of a pretty small pinhead? I am searching the internet to try to find out what they are, and the best answer i found was heat stroke. I thought that it could be something else because i have had them since i started to cover up my upper arm. So i get to thinking maybe it is heatstroke! the causes of it are constant sweating (very me...), heat (of course), and tight clothing. These all make sense but i would love a second opinion! Thanks! I hope I helped in any way!

I don't know what this is called, but almost everybody has it (i used to). it can be simply cleared by exfoliating the skin around that area and then moisturising afterward. try doing it twice a week, you should see results almost immediately. hope I helped!

Hello there Delly38,

As this is a skin issue, I would seek the help of a dermatologist.
Where I live, you have to be referred by your family doctor. You can't just
make an appointment with a dermatologist. Don't know if it Is the same
where you live. I would definitely see a dermatologist. Good luck to you.
