March 2012 Weddings

***cmac3504***

Hey! I saw ur post about the bumps on the arms...I have this as well.

Two things:  It's called keratosis pilaris aka dry hair folices.

You can get a super think moisturizer like Eucurin and that may help.  My dermatologist had me use a prescription strength lotion that has salicylic acid in it.  I also heard great things about Derma Doctor.

I would try those...also surprisingly, tanning helps cover the red bumps. My dry skin has gotten better but the tanning will help blend in the redness.  Good Luck!

  • THANK YOU!!!  :) I really didn't want to go back to the dermatologist since it totally left me "scarred" after having to deal with acne in my teens..... I was really hoping to find something over the counter but have been lazy about researching it.  I will absolutely be trying the things you suggested... and I do plan on tanning before the wedding so I don't blend in with my dress too much so hopefully that will help the bumps too!! Thanks again!! :)
