Possibly kp: It sounds like you have keratosis pilaris (kp). This often appears from childhood. There are other diagnoses that can look like pimples such as molluscum contagiosum. It is best to see a dermatologist so they can examine your extremities.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: It's difficult to draw conclusions from the symptoms you describe. This sort of problem usually requires a more detailed history and exam to determine what is going on. If the symptoms are worse on standing up, it could be low blood pressure (orthostatic hypotension) hyperventilation can cause light headedness and tingling in arms and legs. If it persists, do get an evaluation.

This article  has a: very comprehensive list of soaps &amp; medications that can be used for Keratosis Pilaris. However, I don't know if that is your diagnosis.  REF:  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/1070651-treatment

Question 10

extremely anxious for 7 months. i have strange skin sensations in arms and legs and also on right side of head. i find myself tensing a lot. worried?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety symptoms: Anxiety can cause odd sensations all over the body.  Sometimes these are related to rapid breathing and resultant electrolyte changes and other physiologic changes in the body.  I don't see in your info that you're receiving any treatment for anxiety, although you've had other checkups. You might consider a thorough evaluation with a psychiatrist or psychologist to start with.  Best wishes.
