A member asked:

My 4 year old daughter have whiteheads on her upper arms? how i can get rid of that ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Whiteheads : On the arms sounds more like keratosis pilaris ( dry skin). Use moisturizer , skin cleansers or apricot scrubs. Or leave them alone. Self limiting but, takes time to go away .They are harmless.
