Small bumps all over the skin could potentially be a type of psoriasis called guttate psoriasis. It's one of the more recognizable forms because of how it appears.

Here's what guttate psoriasis typically looks like:

- Small, round or teardrop-shaped spots scattered across the skin

- Can appear red, pink, brown, or purple depending on your skin tone
