To the person who suggested Cetaphil, I have used their cleanser (it works well) but the lotion was too light and evaporated quickly.
I did just buy the Vaseline "gentle" moisturizer (I forgot the name and it's upstairs) - it was the closest to "hypo allergenic" I could find.

If you are getting the bumps after using lotion or shower gel you are most likely a bit allergic to those. In addition, a lot of people that have allergies get "bumps" on the back of arms. My allergist checks me for them each time I am in his office. I have found that regular body exfoiliation helps in addition to not skipping/forgetting to take my allergy medications. 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.
