My arms get little occasional circles that peel around hair follicles, itch, and form tiny bug-bite looking scabs. no known cause. what can it be?

May: May be folliculitis or keratosis pillaris. Have your doctor refer you to a dermatologist. In the meantime gentle cleansing and neosporin. All the best.
