Spotty arms????

[Ledkr]

Hi I wondered if any if you guys have experienced this. Since I had dd 2.5 yrs ago my arms have been really spotty. It's little bumps under the skin which I'm ashamed to say I do sometimes pick at
Now it's getting warmer and I've got horrible dry spotty arms. Any suggestions?

It's a kind of excema, my sister gets it- lots and lots of moisturiser usually sorts it out.

Could be pilaris keritosis - very common - small red raised pimples often on backs of arms. Mine gets better with getting the sun on it. My dc has it too (cheeks) and a dermatologist said that Eucerin with urea was the best thing for it. Not much clears it though, just one of those things.

What cocoplops said. Try exfoliating and moisturising now, the sun will sort it out though.

Yes the sun does help lots. I wil try that cream too.
I knew it wasn't just me. Thankyou

I've said it before (not on this thread, just to clarify!) and I'll say it again - get yerself a gentle scrub/exfoliation, apply it with a mitt and then moisturise like buggery with the Palmers Cocoa Butter in the green bottle (the one with AHAs in it) - it's miraculous, I tell you ;)

I am trying Aveeno ( the cream in the small tube not the lotion) on recommendation of someone on here. I will have a look at the Palmers- I didn't know there was one with Ahas, thanks.

I have these, moisturiser helps a lot. I did get them entirely clear after using a steroid cream prescribed by my GP, though they did come back when I let my skin get a bit dry again.

Oh how exciting! To think there might have been a cute all along and I'm not a freak either!!
Will go shopping tomorrow yay.

I had this for 20 years, bought some stuff off Amazon which sorted it in 2 weeks, this was last year and it hasn't come back. I now have lovely smooth arms for the first time in my life. KP duty was the stuff I used.

Tried Kp duty £££ but did not work for me :(

I used the flexitol foot cream on the backs of my arms.....Miraculous!!!
100% spot free now, God knows what's in it, but it's amazing. I thought if it got rid of dry grotty heels, then maybe it would work on dry spotty arms, and it did.

That's me getting the flexitol tomorrow then- have rank feet as well as spotty arms :)

Quinoderm which is for spots on the face rubbed in the tops of your arms then wait a few minutes and apply a body moisturiser.

Quinoderm may bleach bedding and clothes so make sure you rub it in well.

Clarins Tonic oil and exfoliating sorted it for me. Sun is also great, however there isn't enough of it to make much difference where I live!

Ok I've started with the palmers green stuff (as la quilla was so insistent )
I shall work my way through your suggestions if that doesn't work.
A but like a mn product test without the freebies.

Gaaah now I feel like I'll be letting you down if it doesn't work!!

I hope it does though - and honestly, after years of trying everything out there on my chicken-skin thighs and upper arms, it's definitely been the most effective (although much more so when combined with exfoliation).

Keep us posted :)

Flexitol, Flexitol, Flexitol.
If you do an advanced search you'll find this recommended umpteen times - and yes, it works for me.

I suffer with this problem, for me I have found that using sanex zero shower gel followed by a light (nonperfumed) moisturiser has worked. Sun also helps too.

In bed all creamed up. It smells nice too.
I might try the flexitol too ( scared not too now )

Actually, that Palmers stuff sounds worth a punt, as a general moisturiser and any kp effect would be a bonus! Is it the concentrated formula or the body lotion, Laquila.

It's a body lotion, Shotgun, in a sort of metallic bluey-green bottle - I get through gallons of the stuff. I sometimes mix it with a bit of normal Palmers, for a more chocolatey/cakey smell :)

Any body moisturiser with urea in it will work. It is the urea in flexitol that makes that work. Garnier hydralock body moisturiser is 5% urea, and I really rate that for getting rid of my bumpy upper arm spots. I takes some rubbing in, and it doesn't properly sink in like a more milky moisturiser would, but it does a fab job of getting rid of the spots.

Ill be all greasy when Ive tried all the suggestions. I never once thought there was any difference between body lotions tbh.
I used that palmers one on my whole body it's lovely and my legs are shiney still and not reptilian.
