Shaving with acne may hurt. Try wetting the hairs to soften them, and use an electric or safety razor. Shave lightly.

Red bumps on both arms for years???

Q: i have a LOT of very, very small red bumps on both of my upper arms, the outer part of my arms. i have had these bumps for at least 4 years, i dont remember how long exactly, maybe even 7 years. im 18 if that makes a difference. ((i know i should just go to see a doctor, but i dont have insurance (thats what im goin 2 college 4) so i dont go to the doctor unless im very sick.))but it does not hurt, it simply looks ugly & i want 2 get rid of it so i will feel more confident. i have lots & lots of freckles on my arms (mainly my lower arms, but also my upper arms), so i wonder if it has anything 2 do with sun exposure???i also have hair on my arms if that makes any difference, but im doubt it does. i do not shave my arms so its not irritation bumps from a razor or something. i do have acne on my face & back, but im pretty sure its not acne on my arms because it never hurts (like my facial & back acne do sometimes) & it is not nearly the same size or complexion of pimples or zits. the bumps on my arms are just small red bumps that go from about 1/2 way down from my shoulder, all the way down to about one inch above my elbow. & as i said, it is only on the outward part of my upper arms. in the past 4 years (or longer) it has NEVER cleared up or gone away, it has always been there. i have never tried acne soap or any product on my arms except for mild body soap, sun block, & lotion (usually bath & body works or victoria secret or store bought sensitive skin vaseline type of lotion).any advice, experience, & help is appreciated 🙂

A: This is a common condition called keratosis pilaris. It can be hereditary, but isn’t always. The bumps are just clogged pores that skin grows over top of. My son has them on his upper arms and sometimes his cheeks. The website I found said to use lotion with alphahydroxy and that seems to be working for my son. I bought him a lotion called AmLactin at Rite Aid. If I can find the site I’ll post it. They do have special kits to treat it but they were pretty expensive. Hope this helps.

How would you rate my life and how do you think I feel?

Q: Today is my B-day I am 20 years old, I am diagnois with pcos and I was trying to conceive but I lose hope because it is not working with me, I am a real pretty young lady but inside I feel real ugly, because of the pcos I have unwanted facial hair, a big belly and acne scars on my face, my life is so boring because I am embarass of the scars under my chin from shaving so I can’t go out and have a fun time as I should, I am jealous because I am so different from others, I am not able to lose the weight around my stomach because of pcos, and I am not able to make a child, all around me someone is pregnant, I mean I am nearly friendless b/c I cant stand to c all of my friends pregnant at 1 time and am not, where I live in a small country not to many people knows about this diesease so I don’t have anyone to talk to beside my dr.I do have someone special in my life, but he accuses me of cheating on him every single day and its putting a hurt on me knowing he’s thinking am sleeping aroundI am so honest to my bf, I just need him to hear me out, he thinks every time someone hails their hailing at me, last night he accuse me of cheating because after I came out the shower I had hard breast nipples (sorry), he just don’t trust me at all.Me and my parents don’t look eye so I can’t talk to them in time of need, I really want to make a change in my life, I pray to God praying he’ll send me a miracle but he doesn’t hear my call, I try so hard to enjoy life but work 45 hours a week and nly making $180.00 isn’t working out for me, like I said before today is my birthday and I haven’t got a dollar yet for something to eat, believe when I say as I type tears are in my eyes because it feels like the world is on my shoulders because I cant make a child, I look like a man, my boyfriend thinks I’m cheating so I feel as if he wants to go, and I have no one to talk to about my diesease its drastic for meI am 20 and I was trying to have a baby from 17 and nothing happen

A: Well, doesn’t sound like you are very happy today…….is there anything we can do to help you or do you just need to vent and have someone sympathise?? I am not being sarcastic either. I have Pcos and if it wasnt for my big belly I would be 2 sizes smaller in clothes. I have facial hair, and my legs look like apes, lol. I found a really understanding waxer and she takes off all the hair that isn’t supposed to be there. It was a bit expensive the first time because I’m a hairy girl (really not a good look, lol) but the hair is getting finer and less of it. The weight around the tum can be lost but it takes a very healthy diet and at least 45 mins of excersise to help it. With Pcos your metabolism is a bit slower than other people, so you eat the same amount of food as another woman who doesn’t have Pcos and you digest it like you have eaten 8 days worth of food over the week instead of seven days worth of food. Protein shakes and meal replacements can help, but you can only replace two meals, usually breakfast and lunch and then have a healthy tea. I am saving up the money right now to do sure slim next year, by hook or by crook I am going to get back to the size I was in high school before I’m 32.Now Hun you feel bad and it is a part of the disorder, I actually feel crappy all the time and you can also get depressed very easliy, which I suspect you may be on the way. Go and see your Doctor, you have a hormonal imbalance because of the Pcos and it can take a toll on your mental well being (I do know about this). Find a social worker and talk to them it can help lots.You and only you can change your life around. If you want to sit and mope then you will sit and mope. If you want something more then hop to it girl. Only you can change things. You aren’t so different from other women, all women have issues with their bodies, you just need to learn how to fake confidence and act like you don’t care, most of it is just looking like you don’t have a care in the world.Chin up sweetie. Fix the problem, not wallow in it!!!
