A member asked:

I have red & dry bumps on my arms. they do not itch at all, & i've had them for a few years now. how do i get rid of them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Keratosis pilaris: Find a picture of keratosis pilaris online to see if that's what you have. This is not a dangerous or pathologic problem, it is cosmetic. Any treatments are temporary. Using moisturizers on the area regularly may help the appearance.
