Why do you get bumps that look like rashes when you walk in the cold?

Bumps that may look to some like rashes when you walk in the cold may be "goose bumps." This a distortion of the skin surface that functions to improve heat retention a bit.

On the other hand, this may be something else entirely. Never take action on medical issues based on answers in a forum like this. Always consult a medical professional who can actually look at whatever the issue is and make an informed assessment.

What are the small red bumps on the back of your arms?

If you have rough, bumpy skin you may have a condition known as Keratosis Pilaris. Keratosis Pilaris (or KP) is a common dry skin condition that looks like goose bumps. These bumps can either appear skin-colored or red and are most commonly found on the arms and legs. Your dermatologist can tell by examining your skin whether you have KP.

KP is caused by a build-up of keratin (a protein that makes up skin, hair and nails). Keratin can form hard plugs in skin's hair follicles, which creates rough bumps. KP generally runs in families, and is more common among people with atopic dermatitis (eczema).

While KP is not a serious problem, it can be unattractive. The good news is that KP generally goes away on its own as you get older and can be reduced with a daily skin care regimen. You can reduce skin roughness and redness by taking lukewarm showers and baths, using a mild soap-free cleanser, and applying an exfoliating moisturizer every day.

Moisturizers-What's the Best for KP?

Dermatologists often recommend a moisturizer that contains urea and alpha hydroxy acids. That's because urea intensively moisturizes and alpha hydroxy acids help exfoliate rough, dry skin. This combination works to reduce KP bumps. Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Body Creme is clinically proven to minimize bumps and skin roughness to smooth the skin.

What is emphantigo?

Not Sure how its spelled exactly, but when I was younger I went camping outside. It was very hot. We of course went to the bathroom outside, which left me with yucky hands, and it was so hot Id be scratching my head. After a short amount of time I developed these big, blistery sores all over my head. Its hard to explain them. I remember they were infected. If I scratched at them it hurt badly and they were oozy and scabby. It made me scream to put my head in water ( like to wash my hair ) to put my head in front of a fan was sooo unbelievably painful, just the air from the fan. Im sure cases can be different. The doctor confirmed it was emphantigo and that was how it was for me.
