Brief Answer:
Keratosis Pilaris

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I have seen the images attached.

They appear to be due to a condition called Keratosis Pilaris. This occurs due to preexisting genetic predisposition. The rashes emerge due to dry skin, especially during winters.

This is not a serious condition, is self limiting and need not intervention.

Applying Moisturizer specially ones containing retinoids will get rid of the rashes.

Hope, I answered your query.

Wish you good health.
