Hi, Im a 14 year old girl who out of no where started getting red bumps on my outer arms about a year ago. I was trying to become a model at the time but KP has stopped me from doing so. I hate wearing short sleeves and I am constantly thinking about my KP. Yes, I kno im being stuck up...but its hard to deal with something most people dont know about today. I have a mild case but I hated the way the bumps looked...so i tried popping and picking at them. It just made them red. I also tried Clearasil and it dried them up but i was still red and made my skin very dry. I'm just hoping they will go away just like they came out of nowhere

I take dance also. It's annoying to have people staring at your arms while your dancing, especially under the spotlight. I have found that concealer can cover it up if u have a dance recital. Thats what i did for mine...but my KP has gotten worse since then.

talk to your doctor about getting on a birth control to stabilize your hormones. I am assuming you have gotten your period. Ortho Tri-cylcen is proven to help with acne type blemishes.
