I've had these bumps for a long time now. they started out very small and cleared out, but came back and progressively got worse. they itch A Lot and are making my legs very dry. I've used lotions, creams, aloe, and even tea tree oil. I'm trying to get a doctors appointment, but that's not looking promising. do any of you know what it is and how to heal it? :( sorry it looks so gross.

It doesn't look as bad in the pic, but they're on both legs, front and back :/

Is it from shaving? I honestly don't know what to tell you! Sorry!:( I would try to go to the doctor!

I would recommend you use some sort of healing lotion like vasline no scent moisturizing lotion it's in a white bottle. it's great for very dry skin. make sure you get it checked by the doc because it could be some sort of skin irritation. you can get over the counter hydrocortisone cream and apply as directed.

Moisturize! lol.
Aveeno makes a really good deep moisturizer for extremely dry skin. which is what this looks like to me.

@Hannah I had initially thought it was from shaving, so I used soothing cream, got a new razor and didn't shave for a bit. no change :( thank you though.
@Nadine ill look for hydrocortisone, and definitely try to get that doctors appointment. thank you ladies.

I agree with Kiki. try a hydrocortisone cream, that'd help.

@Kiki I just looked up eczema and it does seem very much like it. other than moisturizing, what should I treat it with until I can get a prescription?

I have some aloe Vera cream, it didn't change much, but I will use it more diligently and give it a second chance. yeah, scratching is an issue, but ill break the habit somehow :) thank you very much!
@Sofia I love coconut oil as a moisturizer :) thank you!

Yeah :) I was so afraid no one would know what it was and I wouldn't know what to do about it, thankfully, though unfortunately, I'm not the only one.

It could be a rash. Try going to the doctor and he/she should give you something

Go to store and get this stuff called psoriasin. It does wonders! I see a dermatologist because mine is so severe ( I get injections for it now) but when it wasn't as bad that stuff cleared it up! Best of luck!
