12 Embarrassing Body Problems

Butt and Back Bumps

These bumps are not pimples but are caused by a skin condition called keratosis pilaris. These unsightly bumps can be sloughed off by rubbing a mixture of petroleum jelly and water or cold cream, in equal parts, on the skin. You can also use prescription Retin-A but this might cause irritation. The best product to use is prescription LactiCare-HC Lotion 2.5 percent applied onto the bumps twice a day until they disappear. The lactic acid in the lotion will dissolve dead skin cells and the hydrocortisone will prevent irritation.
