I've had these bumps on my arms, legs, and back for the longest time! They aren't extremely red, don't itch, nothing. All they look like is tiny pale-pink goosebumps. But they don't go away. I've tried tons of lotions and shaving creams but nothing seems to work. Any suggestions or tips?

Hmm...sounds like razor burn, but I wouldn't think you shave your back? It could also be Karatosis Pilaris which sounds like what you're experiencing. If it's razor burn I'd suggest use shaving cream, a good lotion and let the area breathe for awhile and don't out constricting clothing. If it's KP all you need a trip to the doc or the derm and they'll give you a lotion/cream. Should help and see an improvement in a week. I used to have KP and it's so easy to clear up. (:

The lighting makes it look a bit worse than how it really is, but here ya go.

I agree with Jacqlyn now that I see them- does look like milia. But I've never heard of it on the arm/back...I'd cut out mineral oil though and see if it clears up.

No. It's actually a pale pink. It's not red. I know my mom has KP, do you think it could be hereditary?

Ughhh I have same problem and basically the only thing that helps me is Eucerin lotion. I also saw that they came out with a new one for blemished skin so I may try that. And Jergens has a new bb body lotion that maybe can help with this...

Try a salicylic acid cream.

Looks to me like KP aka Chicken Skin. It's common on the backs of arms and cheeks. Exfoliation and DermaDoctor's KP duty work beautifully.
