I Have Brown Bumps on my Legs, What Are They? (photo)

The red bumps are known as keratosis pilaris and can be improved with mild exfoliating pads.  Raffy Karamanoukian, Los Angeles

Your photos are suspicious for skin condition known as kertosis pilaris.  It is very common and results from plugged hair follicles.  Treatments vary, and I would suggest a dermatologist visit and get a RX for topical treatment.

It looks like you have keratosis pilaris, considered a mild form of eczema, and quite common (40% of people have it to some degree, often starting at puberty and fading with age). The back of the legs and more commonly back of the arms are most affected, and less commonly the cheeks or bum. Treatment involves use of mild topical steroids, topical retinoids, topical lactic or glycolic acid, and urea-based products. Speak with your dermatologist about the best treatment options for you.
