I Have Little Red Bumps That Resemble Pimples But The Don't Pus Or Anything. What Is This?

There are several different conditions that this could be. Skin conditions can be very common and they are many and varied. One of the most common that could fit this is acne. It can present itself in different ways and there are different things that can exacerbate the condition. Acne is a skin condition that is made up of spots and painful bumps on the skin. The spots are not necessarily sore or irritating at first, but can become painful. Statistically, 80 per cent of teenagers get some form of acne, so it is a very widespread condition.

The biggest contributory factor for acne is how the skin reacts to hormonal changes. There is an oily substance that is released from glands in the skin, which is produced to protect it. The substance is called sebum. During puberty there are raised levels of the hormone testosterone. These elevated levels cause an increase in the production of sebum. This is the case for both boys and girls. This causes acne by blocking hair follicles. This blockage can then mix with dead skin cells, which cause spots to form. There can then be a multiplication in bacteria in the skin, which results in pain and swelling where the blockages have formed.

Ringworm is also a possibility although perhaps not in such a widespread way. It is not an infection from a worm, but a fungal infection. It forms patches or circles on the skin that are red or silvery in colour. Fungal spores cause the condition, they enter the body through scratches or breakages, which could be caused by other skin conditions. The patches can possibly blister and ooze.

I would say that you probably have a rash. I would put a cream on it which has no perfume in so you do not irrate your skin more. You can always go to the doctors and he can prescribe a cream for you. Keep in mind that if you have changed any beauty products or soaps, you may be having an allergic reaction.

I get the same exact thing.... I get little red dots and all of a sudden I break out. They usually go away and come back. Keep washing your face. It will help. Sometimes its just dirt or pimples about to sprout.

I have the same problem..just think of anything you used different in the last couple of days or if you accidently wiped something on your face after touching something.
