What are these small white pimple like things on my arms?

What are these small white pimple like things on my arms? They are kinda like little tiny pimples with a little white on them. So when I rub the palm of my hand over my arm, I feel small little bump bumps instead of a smooth normal arm. Can I make these go away? Please help because it feels really weird and looks unattractive!|||i have something just like that. but not the white. its like goosebumps but they are there ALL the time. i went to my doctor and he said it was herited in your genes. there%26#039;s no cure for it, well because you got it off your parents.|||It might be keratosis pillaris. (I think that%26#039;s how it%26#039;s spelled). I have it and have had it since I was about twelve. It%26#039;s also called %26quot;chicken skin%26quot; and generally does show up in places like your arms and your back.








It%26#039;s a genetic condition (although no one else in my family that I know of has it) and cannot be cured. All you can do is control it. There are prescription creams that a dermatologist can prescribe, but they can be expensive. Am Lactin is similar, cheaper, and can be bought over the counter. I%26#039;ve tried putting on baby oil every night after I shower and that seems to help. Right now I%26#039;m experimenting with vitamin E skin oil.





The best thing to do is talk to a dermatologist first to see for sure if that%26#039;s what it is.
