Do you have bumps on your arms? For years I had these bumps on my arms (like the shoulder/bicep area) -- felt like goosebumps -- every hair follicle had a little hard nodule growing out of it. No amount of scrubbing would get rid of those bumps.
Well, awhile back I started taking Sprouts brand cod liver oil that contains vitamin D and vitamin A and it went away!
The day I noticed it was gone, I happened to also be reading a section in one of my health books about how vitamin A deficiency causes hyperkeratosis -- goosebump-like flesh on your arms!

So it turns out that it was the vitamin A in the cod liver oil that caused the problem to go away. But since then I've heard a few women complain about these bumps and I've told them my solution!
I don't use the Sprouts brand cod liver oil anymore -- I take my vit A and vit D separately now -- so I can't tell you how much A it had in it. But if I remember right, it had about 1200 IU of A in it. I didn't need much A to get the benefits of it, and I saw results in a short time (couple of weeks).
If you have bumps on your arms, try taking some A, or some cod liver oil.... just be sure to get a good brand... And there are two types of A -- retinol (from animal products) and betacarotene (from veggie). I'm not sure if both types work, but I was using the retinol kind (cod liver oil).
