I've been finding a lot of these bumps on my skin recently. I've tried popping them (awful idea) and they hurt and just bleed. They've been showing up on my arms and hands and I'm wondering if they're "chicken skin" or what? Please help! Thank you 😊

They look like something called mrsa. You should go to the doctor for medicine.

I would probably see a doctor or dermatologist, and don't pick!

It's called keratosis pilaris and it's a completely common form of eczema that you should not worry about but definitely see a dermatologist about. DO NOT PICK THEM. I made that horrid mistake and now it is such a habit I can't quit and I have scars up and down my arms! Please don't pick them! Keep your arms moisturized!

Its ok hun I have them too. except I don't have them on my arms, they're on my theighs. they haven't bothered me too much and honestly I don't even put medicine on them. they just fade then new ones come then they fade. DONT POP THEM! OUCH!! I wouldn't worry to much though. if they become a problem, you can see a dermatologist and they can prescribe you something :)
