What Causes Dry Bumps On Arm And Abdomen?

Hi, I have a a bump on my right arm that seems like a burn and very dry at the same time it barely apeared about 2 weeks ago but I have had 1 or 2 similar to it but smaller below my stomach and I am not sure what it is? I am 19 and I had chlamydia before but I was treated so I am not sure if it could of came from that or just that I shower in super hot water all the time.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history you are having dry eczema. My treatment advice is-
1. Don't scratch the lesion as it may worsen the condition.
2. Apply a mild antibiotic plus steroid cream like Fusiderm B.
3. Apply an emollient cream like Enmoist cream.

If problem persists then consult a dermatologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
