Guest guest Posted June 9, 2005 Report Share Posted June 9, 2005 This list seems to have knowledgeable folks who enjoy learning and sharing so I thought I'd give this a try. A few years ago I discovered little red bumps all over the back of my upper arms. I may have always had them, but I never noticed before. Sometimes they seem like an ingrown hair and sometimes like a zit. (I confess, I'm a picker.) But I think there has to be some explanation... a food allergy of some sort? Anyway, wondered if anyone has this (I've noticed it on lots of people) or has any thoughts on what it may be a symptom/cause. Thanks, melanie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard it's caused by vitamin A deficiency. CLO & bright yellow butter time! All the best, Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the actual amount of time it took for them to disappear -- it's just that I happened to look a few months after starting the CLO and they were gone.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 Gosh, I had those things half of my life! Every doc I asked was clueless (some even prescribed steroid cream & thought sure that would just clear up any " rash " ) Finally, on my first visit to my ND I mentioned them & he immediately told me after 2 months on clo they would be gone- guaranteed. He said they are typically vitamin A deficiency, but can also be EFA deficiency. It sure worked for me! Take some CLO & enjoy the smooth skin again! > This list seems to have knowledgeable folks who enjoy learning and sharing > so I thought I'd give this a try. > A few years ago I discovered little red bumps all over the back of my > upper arms.

Guest guest Posted June 10, 2005 Report Share Posted June 10, 2005 When I was going through a candida yeast overgrowth problem I was on a message board where a lot of people complained of just that thing. I had the bumps to. I don't know if that's the cause of your problem but I know that, for me, cutting out all sugars and starches for about 6 months did the trick. The bumps disappeared after about the first month... Just my 2 pennies... ~Robin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, it's mostly gone now. Mine has been clearing up since removing grains and dairy from my diet completely. Robin L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
