Tiny red bumps on legs and arms?!?!

Baby1in2007

I am wondering if my DD is having a reaction to something. Has anyones LO every had tiny red bumps on their arms and legs? They look like little pimples. She is 10 months now and I have started to give her a lot of table foods so I am wondering if it is a reaction to yogurt, mango, cheese or pasta. Those are the new ones we tried since the bumps appeared!

I noticed my dd has these to on her upper arms a little bit.  I have them on my upper arms too though, so I think her skin is just similar to mine.  I don't think it's a reaction, but you might want to check with your dd's pedi just to be sure.

My DD has them too, on the backs of her upper arms.  I do too.  My SIL is a NP and she said its an actual condition...apparently its genetic.  And there is a treatment.  I need to find out what it is.

It is a genetic condition called Keratosis Pilaris, and I have it.  I'm hoping SP doesn't get it.  It's a pain in the ass and it causes severe dry skin.

Interesting.  Urea is treatment.  Have you tried to pee on your arm yet?

DD has excezma and it looks like little bumps a lot of the times if she isn't really having a big flare up.  I use a 50-50 mixture of vaseline and eurcerin cream (the super thick stuff in the jar) on her 2x's a day to keep her excezma under control.
