What Causes White Bumps on the Backs of My Arms?

Are you plagued by this in winter? So were we. So we checked out what causes the little white bumps & how to get rid of them.

A. Those little white bumps are actually very common & the result of clogged pores in the hair follicles. You'll notice them mainly in winter because of the low humidity in the air. Common spots include arms, buttocks & the backs of legs. So how to get rid of these suckers (actual name is is keratosis pilaris, better know as 'chicken skin')? Exfoliate. Try a loofah or washcloth in the shower or do like our friend Janine and opt for a professional scrub (we went to a Korean spa here in NY and Janine's keratosis totally disappeared).
