Well going on 8 year probably i was noticed these bumps all over my skin mosly with hairs coming out of them. It started with my thighs and moved to my arms and now my chest and stomach is accumulated these bumps. They dont hurt or anything, but it makes me insecure because of all of it. It just seems like its been spreading but i dont know what to do. Can you help me please any advise will be appreciated. i can add a picture tomorrow when i get the cord for my camera if needed

Hi,

This could be inflammation of the hair follicles or folliculitis which is caused by follicular damage by friction from clothing, blockage of the follicle, or shaving. It presents with a rash, itching, and pimples near a hair follicle. This may occur anywhere in the body and has a tendency to recur. Hot, moist compresses may promote drainage of the affected follicles.  Folliculitis may sometimes resolve on its own. However, if it persists, have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management.

Take care and keep us posted.

It could be Keritosis Polaris (kp). It is a hereditary disease that is caused my the overproduction of kerotine in the skin. About 40% of the popualtion (including me) have it. I have used coconut oil, just rub it all over the areas and let it soak in, and glycerin wiht rosewater, do the same as coconut oil, use lots of lotions, and anything with uric acid, and then make sure you exfoliate your skin ALOT. You cant even notice that I have mine anymore. Sun helps also, and ake a pill called Hair Skin and Nails.
