I have the same problem with the chicken skin on the back of my arms
and I also have it on the tops of my thighs. I have been to the
dermatologist about it and he told me it's hereditary and that I'll
always have it.
Recently, I tried DMSO cream on it and I applied
it a few times a day for several days in succession, and it has been
the ONLY treatment that has ever worked for me.
DMSO is a natural
(not synthesized) molecule that is derived from the papermaking
industry, and it is made by trees. It is sold over the Internet, at
various prices, but someone gave me a resource for it that is
reasonably priced and it has a rose-scented base that makes it
pleasant to use. Normally, DMSO has a somewhat garlicky scent and it
can make your breath smell garlicky and obnoxious, so beware of that
aspect.
DMSO is used as an industrial solvent because it it a tiny
molecule that happily transports other molecules along with it.
Whatever you put on your skin can be transported into your body so be
absolutely sure your skin is clean and that you do NOT put any thing
on your skin or work in areas with toxic chemicals such as pesticides,
because these will be transported into your body along with the DMSO.
This is actually easy enough to do, but be aware of this fact when you
use it. Make sure you do not use just any DMSO, either, for the same
reason.
DMSO is a known anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and
anti-fungal molecule that transports oxygen molecules that help heal
your body. It takes a lot of DMSO to be toxic, and it's more than you
will ever need to put on your arms, so you can apply it fairly
liberally to the backs of your arms.
DMSO is also fabulous for
burns and sunburns. I burned my fingers on the grill one day and I
grabbed my jar of DMSO and stuck my fingers in it. Almost immediately,
the pain stopped and the skin was less red. DMSO, as it turns out, is
a known remedy for burns and sunburns. I can tell you, it works better
than aloe and I will always keep some on hand for burns.
Another
aspect of DMSO is that is functions as a nerve block. I have arthritis
and I use it instead of drugs for pain. Sometimes my shoulders hurt a
lot and after I put DMSO on my shoulders, the pain subsides in a
couple of minutes and I am able to move and function with very little
pain and a lot of range of motion. There are no side effects, either.
DMSO will not cure arthritis, but it stops the pain without side
effects, provided you follow the above advice about clean skin!
My
boyfriend has roseacea, and he normally takes Tetracycline for it. I
apply it to the sores he gets on his back and arms, and in a few days
we can see dramatic improvement. Again, DMSO does not cure Roseacea,
but it sure helps heal the sores and if he used DMSO continuously, he
likely would not have such bad sores in the first place. It truly
helps heal the skin lesions.
I like DMSO because it is safe, when
used with these precautions, and it is a natural substance. It is not
promoted much in the mainstream medical world because the
pharmaceutical companies try to push their profit-making drugs. You
cannot make much money by selling DMSO. It's cheap and readily
available. But is also works.
Here's the link that we use to order
the product:

I use the
rose-scented cream and I apply it several times a day for several
days. Actually, I did that for a while and now my skin has almost no
bumps, even though I seldom put DMSO on it now. I used to hate to wear
short sleeves but now I do because I don't have those embarrassing
bumps. I used to pick at them and my arms and thighs looked like I
rolled around in a blackberry bramble. Yuck.
I hope this helps!
