A member asked:
Can vaseline petrolium jelly cause a rash if it is used as a moisturizer on legs? does it clog pores? i have white circle like bumps near my hair folicles after using it all over my legs as a moisturizer?

It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. Vaseline is an unlikely cause, You could stop using it to see if it is the cause. Wish you good health!
