Kid have hard pimples on legs, what could they be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not pimples: Without actually seeing, everything is just guess work but it sounds like hyperkeratosis pilaris. It's very common but very difficult to treat. Most of the time, if left alone they will eventually go away (takes time). Scratching, picking etc just leads to skin damage and scarring.
