Does anyone know what these small bumps are that I get mostly on my legs and underside of my arms? I have gotten them for sometime now and am on Pd. I have asked around but nobody seems to know what they are called. They start out normal skin color although some start out red, then as then progress and get bigger the resemble almost like a small zit and have a very small white head but are not filled with puss. The whitehead seems to be just chalk white skin and if as they get older the white part gets almost crispy as it dries out. I get those on my legs, thighs, underside of forearms, and upperarms mainly. I also just started getting ones that are very similar on my stomach area but these are much smaller about the size of a pin some a little bigger some a little smaller. They are the same in that some are red and some are not and they have litle crispy white tops that scratch off very easily. I have heard of many people having these but nobody knows what they are so I was hoping someone here might have some insight. Thanks in advance for any replies.

These could be a wide array of things...It could be the PD solution, it could be an allegic reaction to the fillers in the meds you are taking, it could be the toxins that build up in your blood stream, it can be a wide range of things...

When did these bumps start? Was it within 2-3 weeks of starting PD? IF so, then my guess would be that you are having a mild allergic reaction to the PD solution...

I would definately confront your Dr and your RN for answers...But that is my 2 cents
