Non itchy rash on upper and lower arms

[Jassie123]

Hi I am fifteen and I have had this rash on my arms for ages ..... it is not itchy at all but there are a lots of  raised bumps which look kind of like in grown hairs and it is not on the underside of my arms but on the up sides. It is really annoying I dont think it is a shaving rash and I don't know what causing it... bad diet perhaps ?? Please help.. Thanks!

I'm 14 years old and have almost the same problem. The breakout is on the back of my lower and upper arms, it's never severe but it's always there. My advice is to use any face and/or body cleanser. I got a new shirt and broke out really bad, i used rubbing alcohol to try to dry the bumps, with no success. I then used Anew, a 2-in-1 body cleanser, and the redness and amount of bumps was greatly reduced. Hope this helps.

Hi,

Since when are you having the symptoms? It would be very difficult to say anything without having a look at the lesions.

Are you on any medications currently? This could be due to an allergic reaction to some unknown substance or secondary to insect bite etc or due to heat rash. But nothing can be said with surety without a clinical examination.

You should wash the area and keep it clean, apply calamine lotion at the site and take some oral antihistamine or antiallergic medications like loratadine or cetrizine for your symptoms.

It would be best to consult a skin specialist . You should get the relevant investigations as advised by your doctor including blood work.

Let us know about what your skin specialist advises and if you have any other doubts.

Post us about how you are doing.

Regards.
