white bumps on skin

[Roshni81]

off late, i have been noticing , white bumps on my neck,  which dont pop off, like normal pimples.
They are not itchy.They dont go away. I have been having them from last 4 months i believe.
I tried breaking a few, they just discharge blood, and small white somethings.. !! very few !!
Now they have started to spread over to my chin., and i have also noticed that they often come in pairs.
Two bumps come together.

Did either of you ever get a definitive answer to what the red bumps were?  I'm going through the same thing...little bumps that resemble pimples, but aren't - and they come primarily in pairs.  It's getting worse for me, and I've been to my PCP twice, the Dermatologist once, and been prescribed lotions and creams that don't work.  (Not only did they not work, I had an EXTREME allergic reaction to two of the creams, that almost landed me at the ER!!!) I'm beyond frustrated by all of this. I've had "sensitive skin" my whole life, but this bump bit is new. I have an appointment with a Dr. next week who advertises himself as an allergist because I wanted to have the series of allergy tests done, but when I received the forms to fill out today, it says he's an "Ear, Nose&Throat" Doctor.  All three of those parts of my body are fine - it's these weird bumps/rashes that are the problem!!  (The Dermatologist said Folliculitis, but the Claron lotion she prescribed did absolutely nothing to help me...in fact it made things worse.)  PLEASE HELP!

My son has this also, starts as a small red bump, then turns into a pair that look like small pimples. No itch, or paid, and they don't pus or drain like a pimple.

This condition is spreading very slowly, and does not go away.

The is not dermatitis or eczema, that is BS that a dermatologist will tell you when they have no idea what it is. Also, eczema is red scalling patches.

If anyone has an update to this condition's true cause or name, and treatment options, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Rowena , for answering my question.
I think, i should go to a dermatologist as quickly as possible, so that we can diagnose, as to what exactly the problem is, as i m getting married in a few weeks.

Hi,

Try to avoid popping the rashes to avoid secondary infection. This could be due to an irritation, folliculitis, sebacious cyst, or other skin conditions such as dermatitis or eczema. Folliculitis or inflammed hair follicles usually resolve on its own and has a tendency to recur.   Try using mild soap or facial creams to prevent further irritation. If it persists, have this evaluated by your doctor for proper management. Direct clinical examination is important to determine the diagnosis.

Take care and keep us posted.
