A member asked:

My son has small non colored bumps all down his arms mainly but visible on entire body? only really bad every now and then and itches them some?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Keratosis pilaris: Is likely. It is caused by a thicker layer of the skin that is crunchier(keratinized). It is a skin type rather than a disease. 60% of people have it. Exfoliation and emollients can help with the itching.
