Another topic woo!Well, on my arms legs, I've had these tiny spots on my upper arms/thighs. I don't know exactly what they are, but I'm pretty sure they're not harmful. I can't get a pic really, because of the quality of my camera, but I know its not a serious disease. The best description I can give:Tiny bumps, usually in my hair follicles, they're only slightly raisedNot really red, just a darker tanKinda hard to see unless you're up closeFor what its worth, my sister has them on her arms as well, but hers is worse.I was just wondering if anyone could help pinpoint what this is/if I can make them go away. Googling the problem didn't really turn up any results, but I'm gonna try again.Thanks!edit: best picture I can get.http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d150/robwowk/wow/Picture015.jpg

Red dots on skin

I have the exact same thing on my upper arms, I have a thread on it to.
-
Yours seemed way more red than mine, I just figured it was psoriasis when someone mentioned it.
-
Well I found it. I have ichthyosis!http://www.ichthyosis.com/Luckily, I think I have a very mild case. But at least I know what it is now.

So you self diagnosed? Your best bet would be to take your "self-diagnosis" and cofirm with a doctor.

So did I - but mine is much messier (indeed the whole house is).

Shhhh....it is christmas time and I can't fit anything because of the tree...Ok, so I can see the floor...Dang tree takes up 1/3 of the living room!!!I gave up being a hamster long ago...

Well, the doctor told my mom at one point that I had something, but my mom didn't hear him right, and said it was something like ickymosis.Seems pretty accurate if you ask me.Edit: My mom said that's what the dermatologist said I had. Its never been a problem. I just wanted to know what it was.

OK well I was just afraid that you were self-diagnosing. If a doctor said something to that effect then no problem.

Yeah, its no problem. I'm honestly just happy I have a seemingly mild case of it. Some of the more severe cases just look painful.Guess I'm gonna have to start investing in moisturizers though.

Can't see anything except you need to clean up your room.... Geeez!
