Question 1

miliaria is the medical name for little sweat bumps, right?

Accepted Answer

Is basically right.: Miliaria is a skin disease with small and itchy rashes.  It is common in hot and humid conditions, like the tropics in summer. It occurs in people of all ages, but is especially common in children and infants because of their underdeveloped sweat glands.

Question 2

i have tiny red bumps like pimples all over my upper arm and sides of stomach and it spreading. dr told it is miliaria. his treatment didn't help.

Accepted Answer

What is it?: Miliaria responds to removing the cause. One fooler is pityriasis rubra. Another is acne mechanics.  There a few other mimics. I hope you find the explanation.

Question 3

is drugs bad?

Accepted Answer

Depends!: Medications are neither inherently good nor bad. It's the (intent of) use that can make something "bad". Improper use, improper dose, improper frequency, improper route of administration can all make any "good" drug bad. Hctz (hydrochlorothiazide) used to lower blood pressure is a "bad" drug to lower cholesterol or cure strep throat b/c it does neither. Yet, it's a great drug for hypertension. Talk to your familydoc.
