Its a pimple. And its as common as one on your face.

Wow.That doesn't sound normal. I still have back pain every once in a while in the spot were I had my epideral but not an open sore. You really need to get to a doctor! Since there is a bump too you probably have an infection. Good Luck!

if they are small, raised, skin-colored bumps they are probably an allergic reaction.  I have these as do both my sons.  The doctor has explained that it is a mild allergic reaction.  You can look at what soaps and detergents you are using and see if it helps...but i have had them since i was a child and they have never gone away.

could be something with your lungs, your pecs, or it could be heartburn, or your heart.  if you don't trust your doctor get a second opinion

sometimes it can be related to a skin allergy, such as different types of soaps or dyes, your arms and upper back would be the most sensitive to these products, see if there is something you can change such as your laundry soap or bathsoap, and see if that helps. Otherwise it would be best to see a dermatologist for an allergy test. Lost of luck.\n\nContact dermatitis is the result of an allergen (allergic contact dermatitis) or irritant (irritant contact dermatitis) that contacts the skin (e.g., plant dermatitis or diaper rash). Hives are smooth bumps that suddenly appear on the body. Angioedema is similar to hives, but involves welts that form at a deeper layer of the skin.

I would ask your doctor to do a upper extremity vascular ultrasound on your arms. You are young but you never know if already have some vascular problems in your arm. Some people have a strong family history of vascular problems and just start having problems early. Now it could be nothing at all so don't start worrying. It's falling asleep due to lack of blood/oxygen to that area. Either you are leaning way too hard on it or you have the vascular problem that i mentioned before. Try to see if some type of weight bearing exercises on your arms helps relieve the problem while waiting on that ultrasound.

That happens to me too, after I make any sudden movements. I don't think you're going to drop dead from a heart attack any second now, but I do think if you don't do something about it it could lead to heart/chest problems later in life. I'm assuming it's your heart, unless you have a broken upper rib right in the middle of your chest. It's good that you've gone to a doctor to check things out, because you're better safe than sorry. If looking to be on the safe side, you should probably just drink lots of water and eat bananas or something because water flushes all of the bad toxins out of your body.

I know.  I've had this before when I was younger.\n\nThis is an allergy to the sun.  You got too much sun exposure and you don't have enough vitamin A and E in your system.\n\nFirst, Start taking some multi-vitamins that contain vitamins E and A.  Do not take mega amounts, because they (especially Vitamin A) can be toxic to your liver if you overdo it.  They are not water soluble, so you cannot piss them out by drinking lots of water.)\n\nAlso please get out of the sun for a few days until the bumps go away. If you must go out in the sun cover your face with a strong sun block and wear a hat. Some make up has sun block built into it, but I doubt it will cover the bumps because they are raised and like little blisters.\n\nIf you do not really have sun bumps, other possibilities are poison ivy, German measles (don't get near any pregnant women) or an allergic rash to something else.\n\nHope this helps.

It could be nothing, it could be something.  If you are worried about it, go to the doctor.

If they are on the back of your arms they might be sunspots. I have the same problem. Wash them regularly but do not scrub them (they will get irritated and get worse). I started using my oil of olay lotion on them a few months ago and it seems to have smoothed them out a bit and they arent so red. Also use sunscreen when you are out. Dont be afraid to wear tank tops. The more confident you are the better you will feel about yourself. And T shirts arent that great for a woman.

Well that is normal. It happens to me too. i just had it twice in the past month. I think it is your body changing. With me when that happens to me the week i have it like you having it now, the next month (july) you'll have it about the same time as you have it now. It happens to me. I also think it might be your diet, fitness, or stress level. Your body is probably getting mixed messages.

its a clogged sweat gland\nIts starting to hurt because of pressure building up from inside the gland\napply warm wet compresses to the site for a few hours- do it again tomorrow when you have the time\nDo NOT wear antiperspirant until the bump has disappeared

if it's only once in a while, it's no big deal - but if it's constant, it may be a sign of a vitamin deficiency - make sure you're getting your multi vitamin every day

The bumps could be from parasite infestation, allergic reaction to something in your clothing, or a skin condition that's unrelated to contact with the abdomen and only there by coincidence.
