Skin problem?

I have these small reddish bumps on both of the backs of my upper arms. They're a bit raised. It's kinda like weird rashes, but it's not irritative, and my skin's been like this as long as i can remember. It's just kinda ugly. Does anyone know what it might be, and if there's a body wash or cream that would help? I do moisturize a lot, so I think that some kind of wash might help. Any suggestions?

Skin problem?
Sounds like Keratosis Pilaris (KP) is a common skin disorder, typified by chicken skin bumps on upper arms, thighs, torso, buttocks and occasionally the cheeks.

Reply:Try using pure Shea butter. This product works miracles. Its even good for those who suffer from arthritis. It also clears eczema.
Reply:It does sound like keratosis pilaris - lots of people have it. Sometimes regular lotions/creams don't help - you could try lac-hydrin lotion (sorry, may need a prescription), which I've heard works really well.
