Arm bumps: It sounds like you have keratosis pilaris - a harmless skin condition common in women. They improve sometimes if you avoid harsh antibacterial soaps and moisturize regularly, right after a shower to sela in the moisture helps.

Not new, I bet...: Sounds like something called hyperkeratosis pilaris. Basically, dry skin covering oil glands around small hair follicles. Sometimes you can treat these using an exfolliative moisturizing cream after bath/shower. Real common.
