Keratosis pilaris: Runs in families. Harmless but for your opinion of them. Gentle cleansing abrasives and some moisturizer might help. A dermatologist may have ideas - but it's not a threat and often does vanish over the years. It is most common in young women. Try not to fret - that's less attractive than the bumps. Best!

Hyperkeratosis?: Always hard to tell without a picture, but commonly hyperkeratosis pilaris. This condition commonly affects the upper arms and is caused by a plugging of the hair follicles with Keratin. Treatment is to use non-soap cleansers and moisturise with urea cream.
