These past few days i've been getting these bumps on the top of my neck, shoulders and bicep area. Now at first i thought it was acne but doesn't seem to be the case. This is an outbreak of somethign but not sure what. I can peel away the top layer of skin on some of these 'bumps' but can't get anything out of them that woruld resemble a zit. Any ideas and remedies?

My son, you have the barnacles.
If you are a female distance runner attending Columbia, and you have two bumps on the skin a few inches below your shoulders, these are called tits, and many normal women have them - only bigger.
If it's not something like Poison Ivy or Poison Oak it could be prickly heat.... If your worried and it does'nt go away soon see a Dr.....
Were you recently in a hot tub? Some people get folliculitis, it is the inflammation of hair follicles. It can come from the bacteria in a hot tub and is often referred to as "hottubitis."
no.. don't have poison ivy or oak... and i wasn't in a hot tub either.... they do seem to be stemming from hair folicles. What is the best medication for this 'infection'? I bathe regularly so that isnt' he problem. I've shaved the areas b4 w/o any irritation so not sure why the outbreak all the sudden.
In addition, would a sunburn cause this? i did get a decent burn last week on these areas...just wondering
molescum or molescus i think they call it. A very contaiges(sp?) skin disease that you can get from touching someone who has it or from wrestling mats, etc. See your doctor about freezing them off
an oral antibiotic and a antibiotical creme works for the folliculitis. Not sure about the contagious disease the other people are talking about, though.
