The Tea Tree Oil Body Wash from The Body Shop was really helpful for my mom.

It is good to see a dermatologist about those as stated earlier.

More information on those "bumps" can be found here:

Oh my gosh - thank you for this link! I was on accutane last year - From June until this past January, and while my face is phenomenal now, I notice these bumps on my upper arms alot more than I used to. I'm not sure if the accutane affected my arms some how, and short of going back to the derm, I have tried exfoliating and scrubbing and lotions with no luck.
