Bumps on my upper arms

Dear Mette,

Thank you for your question!

What you are battling is most likely a genetic skin disease called keratosis pilaris.

These uneven, rough spots are clogged pores where the skin cells have become hardened inside the pores and so inflammation appears.

Unfortunately, there is no accessible cure or universally effective treatment.

Exfoliation of the skin is on the top of the list over treatments and Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) can help exfoliate the skin cells. For example, try Perfect Skin Power Treat.

Remember that continued use of the product will help keep the keratosis pilaris under control. If you stop using products that have been proven effective, the problem will return.
