Does anyone know what these are? It's almost like acne (they sometimes get whiteheads), but they are smaller bumps that look almost like a rash. Any OTC items that may work on this? They don't itch or spread to other areas, just the back of my arms. Summer is coming and I'd love to get this taken care of.

thanks!

Do they itch? Does it only itch when you are sweating? It may be sweat bumps. I used to get those whenever I worked out alot.

[I have that, too.]

I have the same problem with the chicken skin on the back of my arms and I also have it on the tops of my thighs. I have been to the dermatologist about it and he told me it's hereditary and that I'll always have it.

Recently, I tried DMSO cream on it and I applied it a few times a day for several days in succession, and it has been the ONLY treatment that has ever worked for me.

DMSO is a natural (not synthesized) molecule that is derived from the papermaking industry, and it is made by trees. It is sold over the Internet, at various prices, but someone gave me a resource for it that is reasonably priced and it has a rose-scented base that makes it pleasant to use. Normally, DMSO has a somewhat garlicky scent and it can make your breath smell garlicky and obnoxious, so beware of that aspect.

DMSO is used as an industrial solvent because it it a tiny molecule that happily transports other molecules along with it. Whatever you put on your skin can be transported into your body so be absolutely sure your skin is clean and that you do NOT put any thing on your skin or work in areas with toxic chemicals such as pesticides, because these will be transported into your body along with the DMSO. This is actually easy enough to do, but be aware of this fact when you use it. Make sure you do not use just any DMSO, either, for the same reason.

DMSO is a known anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-fungal molecule that transports oxygen molecules that help heal your body. It takes a lot of DMSO to be toxic, and it's more than you will ever need to put on your arms, so you can apply it fairly liberally to the backs of your arms.

DMSO is also fabulous for burns and sunburns. I burned my fingers on the grill one day and I grabbed my jar of DMSO and stuck my fingers in it. Almost immediately, the pain stopped and the skin was less red. DMSO, as it turns out, is a known remedy for burns and sunburns. I can tell you, it works better than aloe and I will always keep some on hand for burns.

Another aspect of DMSO is that is functions as a nerve block. I have arthritis and I use it instead of drugs for pain. Sometimes my shoulders hurt a lot and after I put DMSO on my shoulders, the pain subsides in a couple of minutes and I am able to move and function with very little pain and a lot of range of motion. There are no side effects, either. DMSO will not cure arthritis, but it stops the pain without side effects, provided you follow the above advice about clean skin!

My boyfriend has roseacea, and he normally takes Tetracycline for it. I apply it to the sores he gets on his back and arms, and in a few days we can see dramatic improvement. Again, DMSO does not cure Roseacea, but it sure helps heal the sores and if he used DMSO continuously, he likely would not have such bad sores in the first place. It truly helps heal the skin lesions.

I like DMSO because it is safe, when used with these precautions, and it is a natural substance. It is not promoted much in the mainstream medical world because the pharmaceutical companies try to push their profit-making drugs. You cannot make much money by selling DMSO. It's cheap and readily available. But is also works.

Here's the link that we use to order the product:

I use the rose-scented cream and I apply it several times a day for several days. Actually, I did that for a while and now my skin has almost no bumps, even though I seldom put DMSO on it now. I used to hate to wear short sleeves but now I do because I don't have those embarrassing bumps. I used to pick at them and my arms and thighs looked like I rolled around in a blackberry bramble. Yuck.

I hope this helps!

I made a goof on the bit about DMSO being anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-VIRAL. I typed anti-fungal twice. Sorry!

I hope you try DMSO and that you find it helpful. Please let me know if you do try it and if it works for you. I'm always interested in knowing if it helps others and finding success stories (or disasters to avoid) to share.

I believe, but do not know, that the chicken skin is a form of folliculitis, which means that the gland that forms the hair follicle, gets inflamed and forms that pesky white and often red bump. I believe the DMSO attacks the bacteria that causes the infection and inflammation. I'm not a doctor or a scientist, but I am always curious about how things work. All I can know for certain is that DMSO is the first and only remedy that has helped me with this.

Good luck!

hi girls. ive had this problem my whole life. it is soo annoying and embarassing and nothing seems to work. well actually the only thing ever perscribed to me was an acidic cream that worked mildly but not well enough. my skin on my face is totally clear its just my arms and legs. i was looking online about it cause summer is coming and read all your posts. i ordered the dmso cream and just started using it today. I wanted to know how long you applied it every day before you saw total results? ill keep you guys posted on my results cause i know this is so annoying for people and noone knows about this stuff. if it works we should spread the word. thank you for the advice
