You most likely have keratosis pilaris, a hereditary condition in which bumps of keratin protein congregate on the skin of the outer upper arms. If they bother you, try using a Buf Puf or loofah and scrubbing the arms for 20 seconds after a shower each day. If that doesn't help, your doctor may be able to prescribe a mild exfoliate. But whatever works, you need to keep up, that's just how your skin is built.
