Small bumps on the skin usually means you have a common skin condition known as keratosis pilaris. There are many different forms. It can affect the arms, legs, bum, and back. It is an indication of dry skin and it is worse when the environment is also very dry. The best treatment is to apply a good skin moisturizer every day after bathing. One excellent brand is Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream. Another that's recommended is Eucerin Dry Skin Therapy. The best treatment is to catch it early, before it becomes widespread, and then continue to moisturize every day. If it doesn't clear up after 30 days of moisturizing every day then you could consult with a dermatologist.

Red itchy bumps on lower legs and ankles can be caused by a number of different things. Contact dermatitis is a condition that can cause a rash when the skin comes into contact with an allergen that causes a reaction, another cause can be ant or chigger bites.

Ringworm is a common skin disorder, especially among children, but it may affect people of all ages. Although its name suggests otherwise, it is caused by a fungus, not a worm.

Go to the link below ( ringworm) for more information on this infection. On the other hand you might be puting tight sox on.

Is polyurethane harmful on your skin?

I don't know but we will find out soon since my husband sprayed it on his itchy ankles! He still thinks that chiggers are under his skin, which is not true. He says fingernail polish works for him so he figured that he could just use the polyurethane that he was spraying the cabinets with on his ankles. I don't know how he thinks he will get it off, that is what will probably mess him up!
