Members confirmed experiencing small, hard bumps under the skin, most commonly on the forearms and legs, with many describing them as tender, itchy, or resembling knots that come and go. Several members shared that keeping the area moisturized with lotions like CeraVe or Eucerin helps, along with using cortisone cream for itching, exfoliating with scrubs or specialized towels, and trying ice packs or medical massages for relief. One member identified their bumps as keratosis pilaris and found success with regular exfoliation and lotions designed for rough skin, while others attributed the symptom to fibromyalgia or simply considered it common.
