Thanks Docter Brooks. These bumps I have had for maybe a month already. I have used Dove, Caress, Lever 2000, as well as antibacterial soap from Bath & Body Works. They are still there. Sometimes they dont appear as white and "pimple" like, sometimes they are just like some sort of lighter shaded bumps.

Maybe you have an email i could send a picture or two too. So you can maybe tell me what it looks like. If I can avoid a doctor great, as currently i am unemployed and have no insurence.

Thanks again. AnonChick
