Little bumps on skin like goosebumps... how to get rid???

Any ideas? They are on my upper arms and hips. They feel like goosebumbs and a bit visible - like goosebumps. Exfoliation doesnt work. Anyone know what they are or how to get rid of them?

Little bumps on skin like goosebumps... how to get rid???
it's called keratosis pilaris...also known as chicken skin. philosophy has a product specifically geared for this problem appropriatly named "chicken skin". it uses glycolic acids to breakdown the over production of keratin which causes the bumps. here's the link to check out the product.

Reply:try lotion itll help your skins prolly just dry
Reply:You need to exfoliate more. Try using a loofah and scrub those areas daily with soap and water just not too hard. oops I just saw that exfoliating did not work for you. Try Sea Breeze. Apply with a cotton ball twice a day. Those two things worked for my daughter.
Reply:you need more omega oils in your diet. seriously!!! i had the same problem, and that is what cured it. something about the pores getting blocked because the quality of the sebum (the oil your body makes) is not as good as it could be, and therefore clogs the pore. If you purchase a omega supplement, get one that is flavored with lemon, if not it is very fishy. Not good! I use a Omega 3-6-9 to make sure I get them all. I promise in 2 weeks it will totally cure the bumps, and your skin, and hair will be awesome!
Reply:This is an actual condition, both my sister %26amp; I have it. Visit your derm. There's no cure, but a perscription lotion will certainly help it!
Reply:Its called Keratosis Pilaris. I have it and I feel your pain! At least yours arent't pinkish colored like most peoples. Its pretty quite common. You can look it up on search.There is a lotion I discovered from a dermatologist called Amlactin. Mine went away after a few times I applied it.You don't need a prescription to get it anymore. You can get it at Fred Meyer, Costco, or other big store. Its about 16 dollars a bottle but it lasts forever practically lol. Hope that helps! :)
