hi.
i have these red dots around my skin.
it does not bother me physicly, but i just hate the way it looks.
and i got a little outbreak of it under my bicep.
the doctor said not to worry it'll just come off with time.
but she never told me what it was.
i think it's some after-result of chicken pox.
i've had it for about a year now, but its really annoying looking.
heres a picture of it on my arm

does any1 have an idea of what it is?

thx you.

They kinda look like stetch marks or scars of some sort. Put Vitamin E cream on it.

its the little red dots.

and it outbreaks
but very rarely.

i want to get it off so badly!!

An allergic reaction maybe? Do you get them after wear certain clothes..or did you mom change the detergant?

I know what you have! It is sooo common. I can't remember exactly what it is called, but i used to have and have a friend who can't seem to get rid of it.

1. Do they seem sort of bumpy?
2. occasionally do u get a biggerish one that u can sort of pop?
3. Some of them white?
4. Typically get them on upper arms/rarely thighs?

that is typically what happens with it


it can be fixed with moisturizing...i got a prescription moisturizer for mine, but apparently you can get the same stuff without a prescription (confusing..yes) go to the drug store and ask the clerk what you should use for it.....it is most likely this...

it can be grown out of too....thats probably why us doc told it would pass....thats what my dermo said first...then i got angry and she told me what to use...lol
