Keratosis pilaris       09/12/04 12:34 PM Edit Reply Quote AstroChick Reged: 12/30/03 Posts: 1023 Loc: Chicago, IL, USA I believe what you're describing is called keratosis pilaris - hard little bumps in your hair follicles on your upper arms and upper legs/butt. I also have it on my jawline, lucky me. I get this from my mom's side, just like my IBS, but I'm not sure there's a relationship! The two things that I've found that help are increasing your omega-3 fats (fatty fish, walnuts, etc.) and beta hydroxy lotions (alpha hydroxy is ok, but beta is stronger). Humid weather also helps, but that also makes my IBS worse. I'd rather be bumpy than crampy! --AC Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
