Dry skin?: This sounds like a conditioned called keratosis pilaris which is a condition primarily related to dry skin. It is treated with good moisturization and avoiding harsh soaps, etc. However any skin condition that persists for very long should be evaluated by a physician. A dermatology referral may be needed.
