Posted By Discussion Topic: pimples on the back of arms   Isabella1@ 11-24-2009 @ 8:29 AM                           reply Member Joined: Oct 2009 I have been getting these small pimples/bumps on the back of my arms and I don't know why.  It is making me really embarrassed and too shy to wear any tanks tops at the gym etc so always work out with long sleeves. Does anyone know how to get rid of them?

Since the pimples are usually brought on by a build-up of dead skin, simply exfoliating and then treating the skin is all that’s needed. If your pimples are especially bad, you might want to try a stronger moisturizer. Amlactin 12% moisturizing cream is recommended by dermatologists for just this problem. Some pharmacists might dispense it without a prescription, but if you need to get a prescription, your doctor should be able to provide it without an appointment. This heavy-duty moisturizer is ideal for severely dry skin. Users report that it goes on like liquid silk and makes your skin feel heavenly. It can take two weeks to see serious improvement, but steady treatment and patience will get your arms back in sleeveless shape. Hope this helps!

I wonder why we get it? I always thought it was because of the soap... Have you bought it from boots yet? just want to know if I need to get a prescription...

I bought him some cream and he was fine. x
