Hi. What you are describing sounds like a thing called keratosis polaris, or also known as kp. The cells lining the hair follicles, become sticky, and don't clear away at the normal rate, causing the hair follicle to become stopped up with a little white plug. The hair becomes trapped, and the follicle becomes red and raised.There are many ways you can help your skin. I will tell you what my dermatologist told me to do (I have it on my arms, legs, buns, and thighs) Don't use extremely hot water in the bath or shower, use a creamy soap that contains moisterizer, use a loofa to scrub the affected area, and then immediately after use a cream or lotion that contains alpha-hydroxy.

I hope this helps a little. They're more irritating than anything. Good luck, you.

you could just be having acne?
