Small bumps on the skin usually means you have a common skin condition known as keratosis pilaris. There are many different forms. It can affect the arms, legs, bum, and back. It is an indication of dry skin and it is worse when the environment is also very dry. The best treatment is to apply a good skin moisturizer every day after bathing. One excellent brand is Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. Another that's recommended is Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy. The best treatment is to catch it early, before it becomes widespread, and then continue to moisturize every day. If it doesn't clear up after 30 days of moisturizing every day then you could consult with a dermatologist.

I don't know but we will find out soon since my husband sprayed it on his itchy ankles! He still thinks that chiggers are under his skin, which is not true. He says fingernail polish works for him so he figured that he could just use the polyurethane that he was spraying the cabinets with on his ankles. I don't know how he thinks he will get it off, that is what will probably mess him up!
