Keratosis Pilaris: Thank you for your question. Red bumpy non-itchy pimple like lesions on the arms may be caused by many things. There are forms of inflammatory conditions of the skin that could cause a rash as well as responses to external/internal sources such as allergies or otherwise. Having an examination & evaluation performed by a qualified medical practitioner would be helpful in diagnosis & treatment.
