Dear American Girl,

I have pimples on my arms. I wash my arms, but they are

still there. What should I do? Is this normal?

Getting Picked on by Pimples!

During puberty, many girls get small, skin-colored bumps on their

upper arms or thighs. The bumps aren’t pimples, although they may

look like them. Instead, they’re a harmless condition called keratosis pilaris, which just means “bumpy skin.” To help them go away, try using a washcloth or loofah in the shower (gently—no hard scrubbing!), and then use an oil-free moisturizer. No matter what, the bumps will start to disappear as you get older.
